  Description

  Hello lovely travellers,
  
  I am a 31 year old woman, living in Germany, in Voerde (Niederrhein). My family is from Poland and I can talk to you in german, english or polish :) . If you want I can help you learn some of those languages, though german is the only language a speak perfectly :) .
  
  I am currently living in my parents house in a, let´s call it village, in Northrhine-Westphalia in Germany. My parents live in Poland, so I live here alone most of the time.
  There was nobody living here for quite a while so there is a lot of love and work I need to put in the house. I suffer from depression, so this is a little bit hard sometimes but all in all I am getting better and enjoying more and more energy coming back to me :) . So using this energy I am starting to make things look better here and try to put a bit of my character in the house. Hopefully with a bit of your help :) .
  
  There is a lot of sorting out, throwing away and cleaning going on. But soon it will be also some wall painting and decorating going on. Now the hedge surrounding our little garden also got kind of gigantic and needs a trim with the hedge trimmer. I tried but I can´t reach so high up, so if someone wants to help me with that, I will be more than happy.
  
  I don´t have so much money now and have to be quite careful with what I eat so I think it would be best if you buy and prepare your food by yourself but instead just have a lot of free time :) . Or instead, if you want to, we can share expenses for food and cook together or one time you, one time me, blabla :) . I really love to cook, so I would actually enjoy cooking for you.
  If you like to paint or anything like that I would be happy to enjoy some of your art on one of the walls here :) . You can come up with projects yourself too, if you feel like it :)
  Around 3 hours per day, 4 days a week of your help, would be perfect. Ah, and you would have your own room, maybe you would want to put some work in the room too, but that is up to you :) . If you want to have your own room, then I can have two workawayers at a time but if you are friends or a couple for example, then you can share a room, if you feel like it and there can be more workawayers here :) .
  
  I have some bicycles you can use and if you´re older than 25 and have a drivers licence you can also use my car when I don´t need it.
  All in all I would love to take you with me for some hikes around here, for some bouldering in one of the boulderinghalls nearby and we can do a lot of Yoga together. Also some cooking, as mentioned before :)
  Maybe also a daytrip to one of the smaller cities in the Netherlands, that are nearby :)
  At the same time I think it´s important to mention that I also need my alone time and will also have plans for myself, so I hope that you are a person, that is fine with being on your own, and dont´t need someone around you all the time to feel good :)
  
  The village I live in is quite peaceful and there is not so much to do, but bigger cities are very close. You can very easily take the train to Düsseldorf, Cologne or the Netherlands and will be there in around an hour.
  But we have some very cute lakes here :) . Now the water is really cold but I´m open to challenge myself to take a swim anyway, so you would be welcome to join :)
  
  I think that´s all for now :)
  I´m happy to read from you!
  
  Lovely regards
  Susanne

  I think all in all things you can learn are: languages, as mentioned before, cooking for sure. I eat very healthy but without restrictions, so you can learn sth here too. Some yoga and meditation, a bit of bouldering, stand up paddling. And plenty other things but those are the ones I´m most comfortable with teaching you :)
