  Description

  Hi! My name is Kristina and I'm a Swedish drummer, musician, teacher and composer, running a summerhouse with my son. The house is big and situated in a beautiful very small village, surronded by forests, in southern Småland, Sweden. There are cows and wild animals on the field next to the house. We have a beautiful lake where one can swim and take a trip with the boat. This is a calm place with beautiful nature and views.
  The house has three bedrooms for Workawayers, with more than one bed in each room. There's a big astonishing yoga room too.
  
  Sometimes I run drum and yoga workshops here.
  
  There's also plenty of windows that need some painting, and garden to be worked on.
  
  There is no internet in the house, and no public transport to the village.
  If you come by train I can pick & drop you at the closest trainstation (Emmaboda) after agreement.
  
  If you are interested in helping me do some work on the house / in the garden and explore the beautiful nature of southern of Sweden - write to me and I’ll explain more!
