Description
We are a familiy of five who are happily living in the beautiful Bavarian forest. Me and my wife have three 16 year old children, who currently visit the 11th grade of a grammar school. Also our household includes an active and loving labrador, some cats and a few chickens, wich live of course outside, except for the dog.
Our house, with a very big garden, is in a little village with a beautiful landscape. If you want, on the weekends we can show you more of the bavarian forest.
You can take a bus or train to nearby towns (Passau, Regensburg, Deggendorf), also here is a perfect place for hiking, biking and a lots of other trips.
We are a 2 1/2 hour train ride from Munich and a bit longer to Nuremberg.
You must help us with light work in the household and in the garden but your main task will be, helping our children to improve their English skills. So you will be doing some exercises with them, because next year they going to make their A levels. For these tasks, we already bought the exercise material, so you don't need to worry about that. And if you want, we teach you some German, too.
A few years ago we took a little break of workaway but now we would be very pleased if you would like to come and stay with us.
