  Descrição

  Hi there,
  
  My name is Svenja.
  I live together with my brother Arne, his wife Antje, and my dog Thali in a large house by a lake in the beautiful region of Småland in southern Sweden. Originally, we are from Germany, but we moved to Sweden more than 20 years ago with our families. Over the last decade, all our children have moved out, so we decided to find a place where we could live and grow old together.
  
  Last year, we found the perfect place and had the chance to buy it. Now we are planning several projects for our future here. Since there will be many tasks to work on, we are looking for volunteers to join us and help make this year both productive and fun. In exchange, we are happy to share our knowledge, teach you what you are interested in learning, provide everything you need, and offer you an unforgettable time at our place.
  
  Our spring projects include:
  • Starting a vegetable garden
  • Creating a herb spiral
  • Clearing the garden
  • Cutting small trees
  • Creating small garden oases
  • Setting up a chicken pen
  
  Our summer projects include:
  • Light paint tasks around the house
  • Splitting wood
  • DIY projects
  • Taking care of the vegetable garden
  • General tasks around the property
  
  Our autumn projects include:
  • Crayfishing
  • Preparing the garden for the winter
  • Picking mushrooms
  • Making cream
  • Making candles
  
  We would like to host volunteers who enjoy outdoor tasks and have some practical experience. It’s great if you feel confident using basic tools and enjoy hands-on tasks.
  
  It is important to us that you are reliable, independent, friendly, and able to help both in a team and on your own. You will also need a driving license for occasional errands.
  
  We love to teach what we know and are always happy to learn from each other. If we don’t know how to do something, we will figure it out together!
  
  Working hours:
  5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
  We usually start around 9 a.m., take a short coffee break, have lunch together, and finish around 3 p.m. Depending on the weather, the schedule may vary.
  
  Accommodation options include:
  • Our guesthouse (if available), with its own bathroom and kitchen
  • A room in my workshop (also with a bathroom and kitchen)
  • A cosy caravan
  
  If you have your own van or would like to pitch a tent, there is a lovely spot for that as well.
  
  We usually meet and eat together in the main house. We mainly offer vegetarian/pescetarian meals and hope you enjoy cooking too.
  
  In your free time, you can swim, fish, canoe, go for walks, or simply relax.
  We also have a hobby room with a ping-pong table, pool table, table football, and darts.
  The area is beautiful and perfect for nature adventures.
  
  We are joyful, open-minded, and caring people in our 50s and 60s. We enjoy spending time in nature, in our garden, or in our hobby room. We love playing card games and having long talks about everything and nothing.
  
  Requirements:
  • Practical mindset
  • Driving license
  • Travel or health insurance
  
  Minimum stay: 1 week (a “let’s try each other out” week)
  
  If you feel you are the right fit, I’d love to hear from you!
  
  Yours sincerely,
  Svenja
