Welcome to our Swedish cottage! 🧺🍓🍄🌻🏡🌱🌺
The best part of staying with us is sharing stories, learning about different cultures and discovering the world through the people you meet. I love hearing about where people come from and teaching guests about Swedish culture. As an Australian who has been living in Sweden for many years, I understand what it feels like to be far from home and to experience a new place. I want our cottage to feel like a warm, welcoming place where you can experience Swedish life, meet other travellers, learn new things and simply enjoy the adventure. The cottage is 55 m² and we have recently started a few DIY home projects.The tasks are generally low to moderate intensity, mostly outdoors and we are collaborative about how the work is organized, always respecting time and hours . Welcome to join me in my daily life, having hot tea and a chat & going on tours. Equally, there is plenty of time to be alone. It's a great opportunity to practice english if you are learning. We do pickups at Sölvesborg station near the cottage. Sometimes, Lund station and drive to the cottage. A bus runs from Sölvesborg station (nearest small town) to the cottage but we also drive our guests places they need. The cottage is 12 minutes drive to the train station. There is a modern indoor bathroom and shower, a well-equipped kitchen, a washing machine in the shed, clothes line and nice common spaces. There is privacy, freshly cooked high quality food. Talk to our previous volunteers who loved their stay. More photos of rooms, etc can be sent on request. Questions? Reach out to me.
