Description
We are currently living in and helping out with the restoration and maintenance of a Renaissance Castle in the middle of Germany. We met there last autumn and decided to stay because we love the atmosphere and the people that come and go. Simon mostly does construction work, and Mailyn helps out in the huge garden. Together we also manage the castle's workaway page.
For the summer, we are planning to travel to France, where we hope to one day settle and open up a cafe, bed-and-breakfast, homestead or a combination of all three.Interests
