  **VEGAN COOKING ENTHUSIAST WELCOME**
  
  Workaway in a village house perfect as base camp for active people and lovers of forests and lakes.
  
  QUICK SUMMARY:
  • Forests, lakes, canals, wildlife, quiet village, multiple towns around.
  • Hiking, cycling, running, swimming, tranquillity, moose paradise.
  • Abundant pleasures for seekers of sights and cultural activities.
  • A variety of chores for unskilled and skilled workawayers.
  • Humour, interest, tolerance, learning.
  • Easy access by public transportation.
  • Vegan (plant-based) cooking.
  • Transformational experience?
  • Great location for a start or end stay when going on a grand tour of Sweden or Scandinavia.
  • Great place for somebody who immerses in writing, painting or other artistic projects.
  • Great opportunity if you dream of settling in a Swedish village and would like to try it out.
  • Minimum stay approximately 4 weeks.
  
  Discover the province of Dalsland, often called "Sweden in miniature", "Sweden's lake province" and even "the forgotten landscape".
  
  Whether you are a walker, runner, cyclist, canoeist, kayaker, tree hugger, lake dipper, berry picker, mushroom gatherer, star gazer, moose watcher or bird spotter, this workaway might be your getaway.
  
  The region is very popular for hiking, bicycling and motorcycling. Gravel roads, trails and paths run through the forests in every direction, and are magnificent for bicycling and hiking. We will happily point out interesting routes. Your discoveries will be endless, and surely you will find your favourite spots for tranquil moments.
  
  The 180 km "Lelångenleden" bicycle trail from Uddevalla to Årjäng passes right by our house. The "Karl XII's väg" hiking trail from Forsebol to Halden in Norway also passes nearby, over the beautiful Kroppefjäll natural reserve.
  
  We are environmentally conscious, middle-aged but youthfully minded people, curious of cultures and customs. We are pleased to welcome workawayers from any part of the world. (Unfortunately we do not have capacity to assist with any visa requirements by Sweden which may concern your country of citizenship.)
  
  There are two houses on the plot. Summertime there is one for you, one for us. As your host we are right across the lawn, always available, never imposing. We will carry out activities together or individually, and socializing as it falls naturally, always respectful of each others own time and tasks.
  
  Wintertime we share the house which is comfortably heated by a central wood-fired boiler. You will learn how to light and maintain the fire.
  
  There are various odd chores in and around the houses on the plot.
  
  The master plan is to convert the house to be self-sufficient with solar, wind and biomass energy, thus generating low emissions.
  
  The location is very easy to reach by public transportation. The house is just a short walk from the bus terminal.
  
  When we go anywhere by our car, you are always welcome to tag along on the ride, or we are happy to run your errands for you.
  
  From your arrival to your departure, we want our workaway experience to be a valuable cultural exchange for both you and us, and you are encouraged to raise any concerns at any appropriate time.
  
  We aim to answer all requests for stays as soon as possible.
