  Descrição

  Our dream is to rewild the island and help its native landscape thrive by managing invasive plants and clearing overgrowth. We see ourselves as custodians of the land and hope it can eventually become a peaceful source of inspiration for artists and creatives.
  
  REMOTE ISLAND LIFE
  
  The house has electricity and Wi-Fi, but reaching the island involves several kilometres of dirt track followed by a short boat journey. Groceries, luggage and supplies must be brought over by boat.
  
  The island is approximately 15 minutes from Eckerö Ferry Terminal and 35 minutes from Mariehamn. A car is strongly recommended because public transport is limited.
  
  Life here is quiet and shaped by the weather. In return, you will experience wildlife, incredible sunsets, peaceful surroundings and a beautiful wild landscape. This exchange will suit someone who enjoys nature, outdoor activity, communal living and a little isolation.
  
  YOUR HOSTS — SKY, SINÉAD AND YO
  
  Sky has family roots in Åland. Sinéad is Irish, and Yo is our seven-year-old Canaan dog.
  
  We have previously lived and worked in many countries. We love sailing, architecture, design, cooking, travel, yoga and spending time outdoors.
  
  We look forward to welcoming you and sharing island life together!
  
  Sky, Sinéad and Yo
