Description
Hello!
From April 2020 I am looking for a place to stay in Sweden or Denmark. It can be six months over summer and can be longer. My place does not need to be big but have its own entrance, a kitchen, bathroom and it needs to have furniture. I am willing to repair and construct. My input could be gardening, cooking or maintenance. It can be private or in a company.

I am a Swedish male, healthy, curious, young at heart – turning 63 in March. I have an artistic soul and a passion for nature, food and creativity. Professionally I have a degree in horticulture and have worked freelance as a tour guide for Scandinavian hiking groups in the south of Europe, mostly in Spain, for 15 years.

In 2016 I sold my house and most of my things. I changed style of life and went to Australia and New Zeeland to winter 2016/17. Did gardening and artwork in different families. Next summer I spent in Sweden, painting and updating a house to a friend of mine and went to Italy five months 2017/18. Summer 2018 I worked with friends at a garden centre and café. Next winter by friends in Denmark and Greece in the spring 2019. All this on a workaway basis.

Currently I am staying at Syros Greece since October 2019, housesitting.

"During the months October 2019 to March 2020 Per Einar looked after my property in Syros, Greece whilst I was away working in the UK. Along with my garden and nine cats. He managed the property in a professional manner and ensured everything was maintained, during a very cold winter. I found Peter to be most reliable and trust worthy. I am more than happy to provide written or verbal references upon request.
Carole Parker - Work-away Host."

I have realized I can live anywhere and like anyplace, but Sweden and Denmark are in priority for the moment.

Please contact me also for other suggestions and ideas.

It was a pleasure to host Per (Peter), during his month long stay we worked together on several projects, he is motivated, helpful and creative. Peter worked hard, was great company, even my cats which are usually shy found a friend with Peter! Peter would be more than welcome to come back as a volunteer and friend.

I stayed at Caroles lovely Greek house for a month. I did some painting on the outside and most of the time gardening. Weeding, putting on a cloth and stones on two areas. We cleared out the old shed and painted it and prepared it to be a studio. I liked that we often worked together and I could see that Carole was really happy for what I did. She… read more

Per Einar thanks for coming and helping at the farm. All 5-6-7 cats are well, including your friend Berry White! We appreciated your independent work, quite presence and friendly attitude. The work we had for you was quite boring but we felt you were doing it with grace and dedication. We wish you all the best for your next adventures!

Kalimera!
I stayed one month in Arillas and shared Igor and Arianas home and space. March was a beatiful month to be there when nature started to grow and flower. I shared the guesthouse with another workawayer, we cooked and prepared the meals ourselves and it worked very well. Days were warm and beautiful but the nights and mornings cold so it… read more

Hello!
In a new life style I was looking for a place to escape dark and cold winter Swedish months. Therefore I stayed for four and a half months from December to April in a Palazzo in the Centro Historico of Amantea, Calabria, in the south of Italy. In the house I had a flat of my own with a view over the city, Etna and Stromboli, a private bath,… read more

Per Einar was a lovely person to share our house and garden with. He worked with great care and creativity. The results are just what we need and his efforts have completed a project that has been a long time in the making.
He also reconstructed an old shed and moved it to another site, finished building our BBQ bench and did a number of other… read more

Dear Sue and Geoff! How great it was to stay a whole month in your beatiful home of quality. Peppi the smallest dog was easy to charm and always wanted a scratch but not so much Millie the somewhat bigger dog. Jenny the cat was always ready for a pat and when I was really lucky I got a stroke from the tail of the other beatiful cat - George. Thank… read more

Beltana is the best!! I had the opportunity to stay in the outback at Beltana a whole month and it was such a gift. Greg and Laura are so generous pople and really wanted me to take part and see what is going on at the farm and look at the special surroundings. I was gardening and did some other small things. It was my second home for a month and… read more

I was very well taken care of by "Peter drummaker" in Two Wells. He is an inventive artist making craft from scrap material. Drums from tin cans and pottery and buttons and pendants from different kind of wood. It was good to have Two Wells with shops and library with free internet within walking distance. Interesting to share the home and life of… read more
