  Description

  We are a family of three living in an old house in Southern Sweden (Västra Karaby, Kävlinge kommun). Dad - Csaba (42) - works in IT (in Malmö, partially from home office), mom - Barbara (36) - is an art historian should be writing her PhD thesis, and a small boy - Artúr (born in April 2023) - who just started kindergarten part time. We are originally from Hungary, we moved to Sweden in 2022, and bought this house in 2023. It is an ongoing project, we are renovating it on our own, while we are also trying to create a functioning garden to grown vegetables, fruits and mushrooms. We love having guests, to share conversations and experiences with, and we hope that our home will be a great place to relax and unwind. We live in a quiet little village and our daily schedule revolves around our son's needs, so we go to bed early and wake up early with him.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are happy to share our knowledge on Hungarian and Scandinavian culture, art, languages, vegetarian cooking, sustainable living, and DIY projects. We don't have family here in Sweden (although our family members from Hungary often come to visit), so we would like to create a lively international meeting point here instead and share our home and Swedish countryside living with Workawayers. We very much enjoy cooking and baking, we are happy to share our recipes and open to learn from you too.
  
  In the future we are thinking of starting some kind of residency program for artists too, we are always open to host artists and creative people, hopefully providing an inspiring and relaxing place for them to work in and have conversations about art.

  Aide

  We are looking for help around the house, mostly in smaller renovation/house DIY projects, general housekeeping and different basic gardening projects (planting, watering, lawn mowing, composting, but we don't have animals so there are no chores involving animals). You don't necessarily have to help on the projects alone, we mostly just need an extra set of eyes and pair of hands while we figure things out around the house (often with help of family members or friends too). It's great if you have experience in DIY projects, but it's also fine if you just want to do something active after sitting in front of a computer all day.
  
  For us 2-3 week long stays would be ideal, but we could be open to shorter stays as well. Your help would be needed on weekends too, but we can give you days off during the week instead.
  
  We will need help with our super active little son too, who loves to play and spend time with people. Again, you don't have to take care of him all by yourself, mom will always be around too. During the week he is at the kindergarten few hours a day, but he is home for most of the afternoon and appreciates the attention he is given.

  Hébergement

  We have a guestroom for you upstairs, we provide bedding, towels, internet access, as well as access to washing machine and bikes. The upstairs is quite separated from the rest of the house, so you will have privacy. The kitchen and bathroom is shared with us.
  
  You are welcome to join us for some meals (we are vegetarians so please respect that), but please be prepared to take care of most of your meals, as our family budget won't allow us to cater for you fully.
