Descrição
==================
We are currently looking for a Workaway from the beginning of June (arrival 6-10th of june) to end of June 2025. The exact leaving date is something we can discuss but the arrival date needs to be around 6-10th of june. Ideally your visit should be around 3-4 weeks.
==================
Main help we need
Normal household chores such as cleaning, laundry and cooking.
Painting and other DIY stuff that we come up with.
Dog minding for about two weeks while the family are visiting friends abroad.
We are a family of four, living in Lapland, in the north of Sweden. We have a daughter and a son, 13 and 10 years old and a small dog. The kids are self-going, sociable and easy going and very used to Work Awayers. The family probably had around 30 WA over the years hi hi..
We hope to give you an glimpse of Swedish Lapland - the nature, our food, culture, our everyday life - and activities according to the season!
We live in the town of Jokkmokk (2500 inhabitants), where the kids' school.
We sometimes stay weekends in our holiday house in Kvikkjokk, which is located in a very small remote mountain village (15 inhabitants), about 1,5 hours from Jokkmokk, where you are also welcome to spend time.
We live close to nature and love being outside when we can, for example taking walks, going out with our boat, or at winter going cross country skiing, making snowmobile trips and cook over the fire.
We enjoy sharing our life style - which can of course also be hectic at times when we both work and there are evening sport activities. We love food and to cook healthy and eat locally sourced moose, reindeer and fish, and vegetables with it.
In your spare time, you have plenty of opportunities to explore the beautiful forests and mountains around us (walking in summertime, and cross-country skiing in wintertime). We might not be able to join you on your explorations, but we we will assist you so you can go out in your free time.
The experience is suited if you can recognize yourself as a person who:
-Enjoy your own company and doing things on your own in your free time, but still sociable.
-Appreachiate living close to nature.
-Don't need city pulse to get your heart beat going.
-Know how to clean.
-Know how to cook basic dishes.
-Are self-going and can identify what needs to be done.
-It is a plus if you have some experience of children.
If you are this person please apply now!
Welcome!
