    Hi,
    Robo and Dada welcome you to this site. Inspirational summer light in a beautiful forest with picturesque lakes and natural sounds expresses what we all seek: well-being and health. Are you tempted to join us and enjoy yourself?

    Our property is only 10 km from the Norwegian border, near Lake Tvällen.
    Since we acquired this place in 2014, we have worked to make it a pleasant place to stay, thanks to the efforts of our volunteers. Some became long-stayers, and some even sent siblings or friends, but we learned a lot from each one, welcoming new ideas and inspiring one another. In our workaway history, we have hosted over 70 workawayers from around the world.

    We have decided to pursue sustainable ways of life, such as baking sourdough bread, breeding chickens, practising semi-permaculture gardening, and carefully recycling waste. We gladly share our experiences.

    We speak English and Slovak, and are gradually improving our Swedish language skills. We enjoy practising languages during calm evenings and are enthusiasts in cooking, mainly continental style, but we also try exotic ones. Robo is a good fisherman, and I like baking and gardening.

    In our house, there are three cats.

    There is no easy access to public transport. If you arrive by plane at Oslo Airport (Norway), we will pick you up at the train or bus station in Arvika or Charlottenberg (Sweden). Trains connect all critical travel hubs in Sweden. Visit the Sj.se website and search for destinations such as Arvika or Charlottenberg.

    Living outside of busy cities isn’t for everyone. It's a remote forest, so be prepared for real Swedish wildlife :) Please write if you'd like to spend a few weeks hiking, watching wildlife, biking, fishing, kayaking, or simply pondering nature. It will make you a happy workawayer. And if you are alone, bring a buddy. We prefer couples for 2-4 weeks, with participants aged 21 years and above. A group of 3 friends is also acceptable.

    We look forward to meeting you!
    Dada & Robo

    Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

    There are kilometres of marked hiking trails and interpretive walks directly in the area. You can borrow bicycles, or if you'd like to try fishing, lakes with pikes, perch, and other white fish are located right next to the house. We also have canoes, and there is a small pier for those who decide to swim.

  • Ayuda

    Ayuda

    We are looking for volunteers who will help with basic tasks around the house, such as firewood preparation (splitting, stacking), home projects, marking tourist paths, feeding chickens, and cutting down bushes and weeds.

    Our ideal workawayer is an open, friendly and practical person aged at least 21 years. We prefer that you have skills in similar work already. Minimum stay is 14 days. Due to the different types of tasks, we prefer workawayers as a couple.

    Please note that we are not a company or institution providing volunteer insurance. Although we will, of course, take every precaution to prevent accidents, we strongly recommend that you have travel insurance that covers manual jobs.

    Alojamiento

    You will sleep in a separate guesthouse—there are two bedrooms, a simple kitchen, and a bathroom. Bed linens and towels are provided. We often eat lunch and, sometimes, dinner together. We would appreciate help preparing the food, washing up, and finally cleaning the kitchen.

    We have unlimited Wi-Fi. A mobile network to make calls is also sufficient.

    There might be mosquitoes on summer nights, so we recommend using repellents (available in our house).

    SOMETHING FOR FISHERMEN

    Only a 5-minute walk from our property is Lake Tvällen, which has approximately 100 acres. In the surrounding area (up to about 20 kilometres), there are many more lakes, some smaller but some large, with almost a thousand acres.
    There is no size limit set for fish; you can fish all year long, and the amount of fish you catch is not limited (besides the trout area). Welcome are especially the catch-and-release fans, who prefer the beautiful experience to a freezer full of fish. We own two motorboats on nearby lakes and 2-3 more on the larger lakes.

    TOURISM

    The best way to explore Sweden's beautiful nature and local cultural monuments is to take a bike or foot trip. An enjoyable experience is to take the "Path of seven farms" (7 torpsleden), which goes from Lekvattnet and follows the original trail of Finnish settlers.

    OPEN-AIR MUSEUMS OF FINNISH SETTLERS

    The settlement of Ritamäki is one of the best-preserved farms. In the summer, they offer a simple refreshment—coffee and awesome, freshly baked waffles. There are many other settlements nearby, for example, Kvarntorp or Purala.

    ROWING AND CANOEING

    There are many great places around this area suitable for a boat or canoe, whether for a day trip or a multi-day excursion. On lakes Tvällen and Kymmen or nearby rivers, there are many possibilities to spend a lovely time. There is access to the lake Tvällen for swimming.
