Description
Hi world travellers. We’re a small family collective of Danish/Australien heritage living in an old farmhouse in the woods around Silkeborg in the Lake District of Denmark.

We have forest all around and no visible neighbours, yet only 4 k’s to the local shop and 12 k’s to the center of Silkeborg. At present we are Emma (30), Victor (32) and Inger (56) and often our partners or the grandparents are here as well. We’re all working, Victor and Emma are builders/carpenters and Inger a psychologist.

We have a big veggie garden. Our source of heating is wood and we (that is Victor) have two big dogs.

There are always projects happening. We aim towards sustainability, fun and meaningful living. And hardly ever a project happing without music. Just as the occasional and spontaneous jam session happens. We all enjoy little creative projects in our spare time, be it building something, collecting mushrooms or cooking on a fire. We’ve always enjoyed everything multicultural and find this Workaway concept interesting.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
Being fluent in both Danish and English we can obviously assist in training those two languages. Some carpenter skills can also be taught and there a fair interest in and possibility for wood turning. Emma is a fabulous bread maker and can teach you to make bread with sourdough. We’re a broad minded family and enjoy conversations and shared activities just as we all enjoy our individual interests and space.

Aide
At the moment there’s a choock pen project happening. We are forever confronted with electrical problems in this old house, so electrical skills and knowledge is appreciated. The dogs love attention and walks and are forever in need of training. General maintenance is ongoing and good ideas for improvements are welcome. Help with cooking. We all absolutely love food with inspiration from around the world.

We’re away most days during the day, so you need to be okay on your own, able to take responsible action on your own, enjoy the company of yourself and the dogs or enjoy the nature surroundings. After work or on weekends some of us are always here for the dogs and we often work or do stuff together.
