Help
Hello everybody!
We are a family of 5: me, Christine 41, Simon 45, and the 3 kids (the boy is 14, the two girls are 11 and 6)
We love to do things as a family and spend as much time together as possible.
We live and work in our 240-year-old traditional and new renovated modern farmhouse in Tirol, Austria, with animals like our cows, goats, 2 horses, chickens and a cat. The whole family loves animals and we are passionate farmers.
We do organic farming, we eat our own meat, vegetables and fruits. In this amazing place, life is still peaceful.
My husband also works as a consultant and I am a primary school and special education teacher and I work part time. In Summer, we spend a great time on our alp with all our animals. We all enjoy this periode.
We love to welcome volunteers who can teach English to our children.
Beside teaching English, we would love to welcome volunteers who are open to helping our family and using the experience to learn and immerse in the tyrolean culture.
We are a friendly, positive & open-minded family and we appreciate people with a positive attitude to help and living.
And in case of questions, don´t hesitate to ask ;-)
