    FOR ALL WHO WANT TO COME WITH THEIR VAN. PLEASE GET IN TOUCH EVEN IF THE PERIOD OF TIME YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IS MARKED AS NOT AVAILABLE!

    Welcome to all friendly and animal loving helpers.
    We are a vegetarian, non-smoking couple with four adult children. Two of them live together with us in an individual farmstead (private, no business) about 45 min away from the baltic sea. Our horses, dogs, cats, sheep, turkeys and chicken belong to our family and are looking forward to cuddles and caring helpers. There is always a lot of different work to do. If you’d like to help us with that and don’t mind getting a little dirty from time to time, than you could be a perfect match and are more than welcome
    We are looking forward to:
    - Bob the builder – you are skilled in craftmanship? Bingo! (Future projects are building up our tiny house, renovate the roof of a small and very old washhouse, building several wooden benches...)
    - A hobby cook who likes to share vegetarian or vegan recipes.
    - Nature lovers – cranes, sea eagles….great sunrises and sundowns and a terrific starry sky are waiting for you.
    - A hobby gardener who helps us create a vegetable patch and has no fear of tons of weeds, mowing the lawn
    and wild areas of our courtyard.
    - Fitness freaks who like to test their strenght by working in the fresh air.
    - Language learners who want to improve their german (we don’t speak any dialect) and like to teach us more
    about their language in return.
    - LGBTQ+, people of colour – simply everyone who‘s friendly, tolerant and empathetic.
    - No smoking, no drugs and no excessive use of alcohol.
    - Everybody who wants to have a great win win experience for both sides.
    - Responsible animal lovers.
    - People who come to Germany in a legal way and have a valid health insurance.
    - People who do not expect a whole day of entertainment and are able to enjoy their freetime by themselves. If you like to have company throughout the day come with a friend.
    Since we’re all very busy throughout the day, we still try to work together as often as possible because it‘s more
    fun then.

    Good to know:
    *for singles or two people

    picked up in the evening 😉. Train connection to Rostock or the baltic sea is good. There is
    no public transport from our home!!! If you can’t live without party, hustle and bustle,
    company around the clock and nightlife this offer isn’t for you!

    Lust auf Natur, Landleben, Tiere und eine nette Familie in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern?
    Ein herzliches „Hallo“ an alle tierlieben, fröhlichen und tatkräftigen Workawayer!
    Bei uns erwartet euch ein vegetarisches Paar (Nichtraucher) mit vier erwachsenen Kindern. Zwei davon wohnen zusammen mit uns in einem alleinstehenden Hof ca. 45 min von der Ostsee entfernt wohnen. Unsere Pferde, Hunde, Katzen, Schafe, Truthähne und Hühner gehören mit zur Familie und freuen sich auf Streicheleinheiten und tierliebe Helfer. Da es auf unserem Hof immer was tun gibt, fallen ganz unterschiedliche Arbeiten an. Wenn du also Lust am Mithelfen hast und dich auch mal schmutzig machen kannst, bist du bei uns genau richtig.
    Wer passt zu uns:
    - Bob der Baumeister – hier kannst du dich handwerklich austoben. Du kannst etwas besonders gut? Lass es uns
    gerne wissen. Zukünftige Projekte sind z.B. der Ausbau eines tiny house, Dachrenovierung unseres kleinen alten Waschhauses, Bau von Sitzbänken...
    - Die vegane/vegetarische Küchenfee – wir freuen uns auf neue Rezeptideen.
    - Der Naturliebhaber – Kraniche, Seeadler und Co., tolle Sonnenauf- und Sonnenuntergänge und ein fantastischer Sternenhimmel warten auf dich.
    - LGBTQ+, people of colour – einfach alle freundlichen, toleranten, empathischen Menschen.
    - Gartenfreunde – wir sind dankbar für Tipps beim Gemüseanbau, auch Rasentreckerfahrer kommen hier auf
    ihre Kosten.
    - Fitnessfreaks, die ihre antrainierten Muskeln gerne mal bei der Arbeit an der frischen Luft dem Praxistest
    unterziehen möchten.
    - Deutschlerner, die bei der gemeinsamen Arbeit ihre Sprachkenntnisse verbessern möchten (wir sprechen
    Hochdeutsch, also keinen Dialekt) und die im Gegenzug bereit sind, uns ihre Sprache näher zu bringen.
    - Nichtraucher, keine Drogen, kein (übermäßiger) Alkoholkonsum
    - Alle, die möchten, dass diese Erfahrung für beide Seiten einen win win Effekt hat.
    - Menschen, die ihre Freizeit eigenständig nutzen möchten und kein Dauerentertainment erwarten. Du hast gerne Gesellschaft? Dann komm doch mit einem Freund/Freundin. Wir sind
    tagsüber alle beschäftigt, versuchen aber, die meisten Arbeiten gemeinsam zu machen, weil es zusammen
    einfach mehr Spaß macht.
    - Verantwortungsvolle Tierfreunde
    - Menschen, die legal nach Deutschland einreisen und eine gültige Krankenversicherung haben.
