Description
A few years ago me and my daughter, who is now 18, moved into our dream place just outside Uppsala, 100 km north of Stockholm. The house is a classical red wooden house with an old barn and a small cottage. I am grateful for help in the house and garden from handy volunteers. Outdoor people are welcome for sure, as I grow my own vegetabels and keep hens.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
I speak English and Spanish. I have lived several years in Chile and like to receive visitors from Latin America. It would also be great to receive French speaking people, as I would like to pracise my French.
We will cook and eat together, hopefully in the garden, when the weather so permits. You are always welcome to experiment in the kitchen and we will try plates and bread from each other’s countries.
I am exploring life in the countryside and want to learn more about vegetable gardening and self sufficiency. I am open to your advice and experience.
Aide
In a countryside home with pets and a garden there is always something to do and I am glad for a helping hand indoors and outdoors.
