Description
I was teacher for cooking and nutrition, now retired, living in a nice house with a little beautiful natural garden in Ried im Innkreis, Upper Austria, in the Innviertel, I have two grown up children and a little dog. I like to speak English, but I'm also able to help you to perfect your german. I can show you how to prepare natural, full-fledged, vegetarian food or typical Austrian dishes.

What else ...
My town called Ried im Innkreis is in Upper Austria in the middle between Linz and Salzburg. It is easy to reach by train, three hours from Vienna, 1 hour from LInz, 1 hour from Salzburg, two hours from Munich. The surroundings of Ried is a beautiful green area with many farms, wood, meadows and little villages. You have the possibility to go hiking, biking, swimming in Ried or in Therme Geinberg. You can do trips to the lakes and mountains in the Salzkammergut. There is a "Skatehalle" in Ried and a public indoor pool both very close to my house, a public outdoor pool in town, you can use my bicycles. You can go by train to the Salzkammergut, to Linz, Salzburg, Vienna,....
