    Description

    Hello all good people.

    I already found a workawayer, but I can host a second person. Thank we have more hands and maybe a good group. Hopefully.
    The date for coming is from the 20th July.

    We are a small family of three.
    We invite in our very old house in a village for helping a little bit and share time together in summer. The small garden is a place for some activity.
    Another task can be painting--depending on the issues of the workawayer.
    The food is given by the host, breakfast and warm meal in the evening, and free selfserving.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a great context about culture and history in the area. The frontier of the West Germany/ East Germany in it's historical places gives an idea for conversation.
    And we are living in a minimalist style. So if you like to make the experience or if you are living in the same way or not we can learn something from each other or discuss it.
