Descrição
Hi there!
Would you like to visit the west coast of Sweden?
Think archipelago, rock carvings, seafood, Ingrid Bergman, Camilla Läckberg & much more.
My house in the woods is a quiet place & that's part of why I love it.
Current residents include me, & in their own tiny house - some chickens & two young geese.
Me: Cia, 46(F), loves calm, structure, effectiveness, kindness & honesty. Avoids loud, crowded & superficial situations at all costs.
The chickens: Varies, but usually about 5 hens, all curious & friendly. An old native breed, Hedemora. Loves food.
The geese: Mix Swedish breed Skånegås & Italian geese. Very young, very sweet & skeptical of every little change/new experience. Loves grass & the pond.
What do you love to do?
Your thing might be what needs doing here.
I have a big work-in-progress-garden, some buildings & the birds, & everything needs to be taken care of.
I'd love an easy going person who is happy to help & likes structure.
There is no fixed plan here, your preferences & skills lead the way.
At the moment experienced builder/woodworker/carpenter-ish people are most wanted.
You are expected to work 5 hours 5 days a week & acually achieve results daily.
I don't cook, I provide the ingredients & you cook your own meals.
I am a selectively social loner who works best when with happy people & need time to myself as well.
If staying in the house with me there is room for 1 person, but if staying outside in a van/tent there is room for many more.
My house is about 70 square meters, the guest room is newly renovated.
There is no TV or internet, I only surf on my phone.
Both kitchen & bathroom are renovated this winter.
Still things to finish but both are fully functional.
There is a popular lake nearby (2k walk) for swimming & fishing.
Lots of berries & mushrooms to pick in the woods.
Plenty of woods to walk in & explore, lots of wildlife & not many people.
15 min drive north is Tanumshede, with a mall, bank, gas stations & all the basics.
30 min drive west you have the beautiful archipelago with towns like Grebbestad, Fjällbacka & Hamburgsund.
Lgbtqai+ & neurodivergent friendly.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
As a native to the area I can teach you about fishing for crabs & lobsters.
& how to cook & eat them.
Depending on when you are here we can take the boat out & go fishing in the archipelago.
I've lived in different parts of Sweden & learned very different things.
I can teach you a bit about the Sapmi people & their reindeers, how to tan hides, dance bugg (Swedish dance), speak Swedish, make cheese, yoghurt & hopefully much more.
Ajuda
During the warmer months the garden needs the most focus, mainly keeping grass & weeds under control.
Aside from that.. as I said, there is no fixed plan here, your preferences & skills lead the way.
Since I decided to renovate the kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, hallway and build a veranda all at the same time.. I know, I don't know why, one thing led to another.. all these things need finishing.
I have more things that need finishing/doing than I have energy for at the moment and would appreciate helping hands.
I need to bulid a new run for the geese & fix up the chicken run, making it more predator safe.
I'd like to see how much of my french I remember since living in Nice for a while back in 2000.
The garden needs weeding & if you enjoy that kind of thing I'd love the help.
The grass needs raking & removing after I do some scything.
The guest house needs clearing out, organizing & cleaning.
I'd like to build a small dock by my pond maybe?
There are always things to do here.
Keeping the house clean is a joint effort. We clean up after our selves in the kitchen & bathroom daily. The floors are vacuumed & washed weekly.

Acomodação
My house is about 70 square meters, the guest room is newly renovated.
Since most of the rooms are in various late stages of renovation I'm very much looking forward to get everything finished & organized.
The bed is 90 cm wide, there are some closets in the same room.
One & a half (as in little, not broken) window, nice view of the rear garden & the woods.
We share kitchen & bathroom.
I work full time, getting up early to feed the animals & myself & get ready for work.
I usually go to bed about 7 pm.
If you live inside with me I'd like it to be quiet after 7 pm.
If you live outside in a van or tent it's up to you what hours you keep.
