Program Details

Stay at Kurrebo and learn to be and train the many different functions there are in having a B&B and café. Task can vary from day to day or be repetitive – according to the season. We can adjust the shifts to your and our needs and we will provide you with place to sleep, food, a bike and the possibility to explore the amazing nature here in Småland and learn more about sustainable living.

Activities & Shift

Before you come we can talk about your interest and what we need most at the time of your visit. In Summer we mostly support the café in the kitchen and with cleaning etc. as well as preparing and cleaning rooms. Basically everything around the guests.

There is much more to learn then you expect about chopping, stirring, arranging food, to cleaning up afterwards or helping with the dishes and the customers. You will learn new and creative ways how to cook great vegetarian meals and how to run a Bed& Breakfast and a place like ours.

It is busy and can be a lot of hard work for the team specially in Summer but it is very rewarding when you see all the happy guests!

Rules

We would love someone who likes to live and work with other people and is interested in a sustainable lifestyle. You don't need previous experience but we need to be up for learning, knowing that the practical experience can be monotonous and even a bit boring. Also be aware that kitchen are very dangerous! Knives, hot soup etc. Always follow the instructions and never do anything without previous instructions.
