We are a family of four, living in Lapland, in the north of Sweden. We have a daughter and a son, ten and seven years old. We also have a dog (Norrbottenspets).
We are currently looking for a Workaway from the beginning of September, staying 4-6 weeks. During that time it is hunting season, when we might be away to hunt (elk mainly), as well as a busy period for us at work, why we are in need of some help. You will have the opportunity to see part of the process when we take care of the animal and the meat, and help out if you wish. It is also time for picking forest berries, which can be nice.
In general, we mainly need help with normal household chores, such as cleaning, laundry and cooking. You will also be minding our kids from time to time. Our kids are sociable and easy-going and our dog is well behaved, so you should have a good time with them too :-)
We hope to give you an experience of Swedish Lapland - the nature, our food, culture, our everyday life - and activities according to the season!
Both me (the mum) and my husband are working. My husband works away 1 week at a time in another town, and is then off work 1-2 weeks in between. I work Mon-Fri.
We live in the town of Jokkmokk (2500 inhabitants), where the kids' school and my job is.
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 work. We love food and 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. Over the years we have had over twenty workawayers so you may read their reviews.
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!
