Collective living in Tølløse.


After Hamburg we made our way to Tølløse (Denmark), where Jonas’ sister, Hannah, lives in a collective with eight more people. It was interesting to see this way of living in a group. They collectively asked for a mortgage to buy this wooden Swedish house that they are all repairing together. I wish this option of a collective mortgage existed in the Netherlands. I found myself easily imagining living with a group of friends in Rotterdam, sharing tasks and responsibilities. I think it’s an interesting option especially because I don’t have family nearby. 

We got a boat from Puttgarden (Germany) to Rødbyhavn (Denmark)

The Swedish wooden house that was bought with a collective mortgage. They are busy fixing it up. 

Cosy inside. 

All the right prints.

I wanted to show you our tents but Phil was really eager to be in the photo. 

Hannah and Line. Line is a stone mason. Hannah is a writer. 

Jonas, Hannah and their American granny. 

It doesn't get much cosier than this.
