We have the guesthouse almost ready and are looking for a new workawayer!
--------
Hello,
We are Nayiem and Sophia, both 28 years old.
We are originally from the Netherlands and we've been working as volunteers on a farm in Backsjön in early 2012.
We've worked for 3 months and decided we should come back one day to start something in tourism.
In 2019 we came back and moved in June 2020 to Backsjön to start our own glass igloo resort.
Our project is still in development phase and we are looking for people to help and in return offer the same experience as what we had in 2012.
We have 8 dogs. 1 Husky, 1 Akita, and 6 Huskita puppies.
Working with us is very diverse and every day is not the same.
We enjoy freedom, peace and the wilderness.
We already warn you, while this region offers a lot of freedom and peace. Working with us is not always fun.
Since we are running multiple businesses, the work or stress amount can be disturbing for some people.
There is also not a lot of luxury at the moment. Toilets are being built and only dry (outside) toilets are available.
Which means you will have to go outside with -20 during the night if you want to go to the toilet.
Cooking is mostly done from a stove and living here is very primitive.
We are looking for fun, young and motivated people to help us with our dogs and on the park with all-round activities and work and learn along the way about working in and with the nature.
You will be leaving this place with a new set of skills in your backpack.
Please remember, there is only a dry toilet at the moment which is outside. The shower is in our own house which we can share. The living space for all of us is quite small and the internet/phone connection is really bad.. or sometimes there is no connection at all.

This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Skills are not needed and is absolutely not a requirement.
Working with us will allow you to learn how to socialize with a pack of dogs, how to become a nice host to our guests, if you want, you can also help us with the store and you will also learn new skills while staying in a small remote area in the forest.
Motivation and happiness is all we ask from you.
Please keep in mind that things can be stressful and slow. In return we will still do our best to make sure you feel home with us.
We offer you to feel the same experience. To learn about us, the locals, the region and how it feels to live directly in the nature with only forest, water and animals around you. That means no internet, no disco's, no playstation, no social media.

Guesthouse with shared bathroom and a shared bedroom with other workawayers.
There is no kitchen in the guesthouse. You are allowed to use ours, but we do prefer to eat all together.
We live in a forest region. Unfortunately, the nearest "shopping center" is 25km away from here.
However, the forest has a lot to offer during all seasons!
You can go for hiking or fishing. Mushroom picking and blueberry picking.
For digital nomads, we don't have the best internet speed but it's unlimited bandwith, about 15mbit speed but can sometimes drop down to 1mbit, there is electric in your room and also a TV. Don't be shy to spend your free-time at home if you want to. But be prepared, things can be really boring if you don't like to work and if you don't have any connection with the rest of the world using internet.
The closest city is Sollefteå. During your off-days, we can arrange a ride to Sollefteå and pick you up later.
If you prefer to go to a bigger city, there is a busstop in Sollefteå. Otherwise, Sophia goes shopping in Sollefteå at least once a week, you can join if you want.
Or you can join Nayiem when he goes to the store in Örnsköldsvik.
There are a few things that we like to know about you when you contact us!
- Favorite movie (name a few)
