Descripción
Hello! I'm Simon and I live on a Swedish farm, in the traditional style with some buildings from the 19th century. There is nature all around, open fields and forests. Lots of wild animals and birds. There are Valais Blacknose sheep on the farm, and I'm planning for more animals in the future. I'm expanding my vegetable garden, which I wish to grow organically.
I enjoy the country life and the practical work renovating the houses, chopping fire wood, milling lumber and tending to the garden. I am also interested in a broad range of topics, such as natural sciences, technology, history, politics, society. I like board games, especially the classical ones. Hoping to play with guests that share the interest!
Some examples of musicians I like are Keith Jarret, Nils Frahm, Árstíðir.
There is a train station about 2 km from my house, with commute trains to Norrköping (10 min) and Linköping (17 min). Both cities offer cultural activities, museums, libraries et c. -

Alojamiento
There is a guest room and a guest house on the farm. There is Wifi, best coverage is in the main house.
I supply food ingredients which I source locally when I can, and you'll help with the cooking. I prefer if you have the same diet as me (I eat meat) as that simplifies things for me. -

Staying with Simon was a very good first workaway experience. His farm is a nice place close to the town. The tasks are flexible and it was fun to work out a possible structure for the garden together.
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to try new things and also for the interesting talks, even though we sometimes disagree. I had a good time.
