    I am looking for help:
    August 1 -11
    ... and from August 27 onwards ....

    Please see my availability calendar above and inquire about exact available dates, or propose dates as to when you are available.

    I am a nerdy, intellectual, conservative and humble person. In 2018 I had my right leg amputated due to diabetes and have neuropathy in my hands, well treated with CBD/DMSO. My soul and spirit is still great.

    Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, moved to Germany in 1992. I was once a construction manager and once also a talented IT technician/advisor, but those professions both lead to "burn-out" ... now retired, in a wheelchair, live carefree and secure on early-pension, making hobbies my life and future. I wish to change the world through my online engagement and inventions to be patented or open-sourced. ... never stopped learning, also like to learn from others...and teach others what I can. I do not go to bars or clubs.... I'm religious, conservative, soft, romantic and self-taught in my many skills.

    My hobbies and interests; inventing, philosophy, astronomy, astrophysics, space travel, photography, Amazon-book- sales, home-cinema, classical music, ebay-shopping, formula-one racing, community work, plane-spotting, eco-villages, music & art, gardening, traveling, romance, cooking, religion, politics, humor...

    Text me for more info and links to my web presence if you wish.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a lot in Munich to explore and experience. There are 80 museums in Munich, some cost only €1 on Sundays. Munich is a student city with many clubs, groups and societies. Nobody feels alone in Munich, and it is quite safe. I am well-traveled well in Bavaria and also 50+ countries, can share/compare experiences. I have been hosting travelers for 15+ years and I love interacting with people from around the world. See feedback, also from couchsurfers. Text me for a link to my tips on what to see in Munich and Bavaria.

  • Help

    Help

    Basic English or German required. The help I need is very light work; chores, assistance and companionship, about 1-4 hours/day, mostly daylight-time, only 5 days per week, flexible. Please help with light household chores, cleaning, improvements, cooking, shopping, chatting, events and visits to activities or parks. Guests should help voluntary with their own intelligent initiative and effort in their own time-planning. I do not like giving commands. Occasionally, push me in my wheelchair to the doctor or to events that we can enjoy together. Cash rewards are possible for very special activities like helping with major home improvements or help with my very small Amazon and Ebay shops or special ventures. Maximum stay 8 weeks due to regulations. You are sure to have a lot of fun and huge benefits if you keep me happy. You can do day trips or weekend trips out of Munich if you like.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Free accommodation plus basic food, humor, entertainment, life-tips and hacks. My home is like a studio, but you have a private guest-room (double-bed) for yourself, with shared bathroom, kitchen, balcony and home-cinema. Free high-speed WiFi. The basic rules in my home are morality and the "Ten Commandments", but I also appreciate order, enthusiasm and some intelligence. Guests will never be bored in my home or in the city yet enjoy a lot of privacy, chill-out and freedom too. My home is in the suburb "Laim", 30 minutes from the city center, easily reachable by underground, tram or bus.
