    Description

    Dear workawayers - bonjour a tous!

    We are a couple living in the beautiful region of Bavaria / south of Germany.

    What we are looking for:
    We would like to practise / improve our french - therefor we appreciate french mother-tongue speakers
    in our little garden we love to grow organic vegetables and fruits, a lot of flowers. This needs care too, so there's always a little bit to do in this beautiful spot...
    Other tasks are: help in the household, do the dishes, cooking together, discussing...
    We often take our bike, make sport, so it would be beautiful, if you like sports too.
    We are / like people without prejudice, who are open, cordial.

    Who we are:
    We (Stephanie & Peter, 54y.) live 50km south of Munich / Germany.
    Our village is in front of the alps surrounded of mountains and many lakes.
    Our attitude is ecological and open-minded. In our little garden we try to share and enjoy nature in an ecological way.
    Regarding the climate change, it is essential, that everyone starts becoming active, looking for solutions.
    As a technician (Peter), I love to tinker with all kind of solutions to live with nature - like generating (and saving) ecological energy in order to achieve a high level of autarky.
    Modern lifestyle and ecologically sensitive living aren't contradictions.

    In our sparetime we love to meet friends, cooking, gardening and sports: mountainbiking, swimming, sailing, hiking...
    We have a lot of lakes nearby you can reach with the bike. If wind is available, I love to sail our catamaran

    Any questions? Don't hesitate to send us a message - telephone / video call is also possible (we speak french/english/german).
