  Descripción

  Hi there 😊! I´m Viveca (42) and two years ago I started my biggest adventure ever. I became a mum to a boy, Folke. He's at the moment of writing 21 months and is most of the time a very content and happy toddler, with a lot of energy. I became a single mum by choice so Folke has no dad but a donator. We live in a small house just outside a small village called Lerdala, 20 km from Skövde. Though most of my projects are at a small piece of property about 10 km from the house where I have a tiny house. I've lived in the tiny house for the last 6 years but when Folke arrived we moved to the little house. The property has been neglected for 25 years or so.  The stable is a hovel and the house have been torn down. I love gardening and growing all sort of stuff, so there is a big garden and I've also started to built a green house. So this is one of the projects that I wish to get some help with. I am social and caring and like to share my knowledge and also learn new things. Though I also need my own time with my son. So I would prefer someone, two friends or maybe a couple who are quite independent, ok if you have kids we could help babysitting. For the length of stay I’ve written a week, if we get along you are very welcome to stay longer. I’ve just started to work and Folke started kindergarten. Until Christmas I’m working half-time. I work for the forest agency with protecting forest with high biodiversity. Except studying forestry I have also studied arboriculture and some gardening. Other interest except hanging out with my son, and growing stuff is fermenting food, yoga, meditation and crafting. I love to create and at the moment I’m trying to learn some carpentry. If you’re good at carpentry and building it’s a big plus :) ? There are nice areas to walk and hike around here so I do that a lot. My property lies on the country side, about 10 km to Götene and no local traffic.
  
  Internet access available at the house, might be at both places later on.
  
  Please be vaccinated against TBE (tick borne encephalitis), it´s an area with a high risk and my cats gets a lot of ticks..

We'll share everyday work as cooking and cleaning. Maybe also some help with my boy, so it would be a plus if u like children :). Some work will be delegated to you alone others we'll do together. I’ll teach you or you’ll teach me or we’ll learn together!

  Alojamiento

  Either I have an extra bedroom in an outhouse at the house. There is a bed which can be extended to 160 cm, the room is insulated and there is a radiator. There is also a possibility to stay in my tiny house/ wagon on my property which lies 10 km from where the house we live in. The wagon have electricity, water, a small kitchen, bed room with 140 cm bed, a couch which can be transformed to a bed, a wood stove to heat the wagon, a shower and a “separette” toilette.
  
  In summer I have a Lotus bell tent with a stove which if u come in the summer time you might stay in.
  
  Depending on when u come and where you chose to stay we will eat every day together or we’ll eat some days on our own. I want to share the cooking so we’ll share responsibility every second day or so.. Breakfast might be separate depending on when me and my son wakes up and where u stay.

  Algo más...

  I really love the nature here, it’s very diverse. If u have the opportunity to be here in may when the cherry blossoms, it’s gorgeous! There’s a lot of tracks around the area. Not to far from the house there’s a lot of lakes and a possibility to go swiming and canoeing. If you´re in to birdwatching it’s not to far to Hornborgasjön where the cranes come in spring.
  
  I love to share knowledge and take care of people and try to make a god stay for friends or people who stays with me. Now beeing a single mum I do need someone who are quite independet and knows how to cook!
  
  I’d prefer a non smoking person/ persons.
  
  There is a local bus stop in Lerdala around 500 meters from the house, it´s a 40 min ride to Skövde where there are trains to Gothenburg (1,5 h), Stockholm (2,5-3 h). There are no buses at the wagon.
  
  Due to that I´m a single mum it might take a couple of days before I answer messages.
