  Descripción

  German, swedish, english (not fluent). Girls only or a pair! Gardening and renovationwork. We build a little greenhouse of old windows. Householding. Clearing out the attic. Renewing the seams of the roof of my old camper.
  
  Welcome to live and help me!
  
  I live in a little house in the forests together with my dog Edda and my cat Fini. There is one neighbor about 500 m away with forest between us. The next little town is 12 km away, the next lake 1 km (if you use the small streets in the forest it will be 4 km), the next bathing place 2 km (but you have to go through the forest for about 700 m), and the Skagern with sandbeaches about 15 km away. You need to love it to be far from society and other people, otherwise you won´t enjoy the time on my place. Here it is quiet with a lot of nature.
  
  My standard of living is low. Since february 2016 I do have electricity, but I am used to live without. I have an outhouse which I want to renovate, and I have a drytoilet inside the house. No TV but internet (wifi) which sometimes does not work when we are two persons who use it at the same time.
  
  I am working in my homeoffice, but not fulltime. I will try to work together with you, but there is no garanti that this works every day. So I would like you to be ok with helping by your own. In summer I perhaps have two workaways so you probably are not alone.
  
  This year priority is on building the greenhouse and the new kitchengarden, clearing out the attic and the renewing of the seams on my campers roof. But there are also projects in the garden. More information below.
  
  We will talk about how you want to structure your days. Or if you don´t want. I for example need some time in the morning to be awake and do not begin to work before 9 o´clock. But if you want to do it, it is possible. There are some projects which has to be done, but I want you to choose tasks you are interested in doing, if it is possible. I want you to love helping and living on my place! Good communication is important!
  
  About me: I am 50 years old and left Germany for Sweden in 2002. I am selfemployed and work at home. I walk the shamanic path and respect and love our mother earth Pachamama.
  
  Please write to me which tasks you are most intrested in and which experiences you have.
  
  I prefer vegetarian food, but if you want to have meat I can fix this one ore two times a week.
  
  In order to get an exchange as well as possible I would prefer if you talk german or swedish, but I am able to speak english, too.
  
  I am looking forward to hear from you!

  Alojamiento

  You will sleep in a room in the barn which has a bed 140x200 or in a little guesthouse. It can happen that you share your room with another workaway.
  
  You have a tent and want to sleep in it? There is space for camping.
  
  Important: In this area there are no pubs or discos or something like this! This is a quiet area with a lot of nature! If you don´t have a car you can borrow an old cycle, but here there is only forest and lakes and nature!

  With me there is absolute freedom of speech! Whether politically correct or not , here everyone can talk as long as it the other not offended! But I would prefer to have a politic- free- zone, will mean: We do not discuss politics at all!
  
  I live between Laxå and Finnerödja near the nature reserve Vargavidderna with beautiful sea and a unique landscape . The nearest lake is 1 km away, but you would then have to cross the property of our single neighbor ( 500 m away, with a forest between us) which, however, does not mind . The nature reserve Tiveden is around 40 km away, the next lake with bathing place 2 km (you have to go through forest the last perhaps 700 m), the beach on Skagern about 15 km, and the nearest supermarket 12 km away. I have an old bike that you can borrow.

  Yes, it works if the dog accepts that Edda is the leader. Edda has a disc prolaps and needs to take it calm, so no dog which wants to play the whole day,
