Description
My name is Bo. I am an elder, retired man, living in a rather large villa in the city of Jönköping in south of Sweden. My house is located next to a park, on the hills above and ca 3 km from downtown with a nice view over the city and some lakes. I and my wife have previously run a smaller B&B for almost 20 years and met guests from different countries all over the world. To my great sorrow my wife is no longer alive.
My work capacity is nowadays rather limited, so even if the B&B is closed, I still need much help with housekeeping, maintainance, gardening, etc. I will appreciate your assistance with most tasks occurring in a home. You will get current instructions but you should also be able to help independently.
Jönköping is a 700-hundred year old, fastgrowing town, surrounded by forests and lakes with a lot of excursion possibilities. The city offers a lot of cultural events and in Gothenbourg within 2 hours distance you can find more and in the capital Stockholm (4 hours distance) even more.
For many years we had the pleasure of receiving several workawayers, getting new friends and experiencing a rewarding cultural exchange.
