    Description

    Hi! We are Andrea (58) and Josef (62) and we live in a romantic farmhouse in Lower Bavaria, 25 km away from Passau, a lively city with 50,000 inhabitants.
    I am a physiotherapist, I dance tango, my children are grown up and I love to create meals, parties, spaces and events. I love hosting my family and grandchildren and our friends.
    My husband works in Passau during the week and enjoys to revive his childhood home.
    We are looking for dedicated helpers to join us and the lively life in the countryside.
    Of course we offer free meals and accommodation.
    We are German, speak English and have some knowledge of Spanish, French and Italian.
    I worked in Peru myself in childcare, though many years ago (I was 20 then ;)), and I still enjoy traveling.
    I am very hands-on and familiar with volunteers from workaway: a few years ago I converted an old construction trailer into a cafe together with helpers. We had a lot of fun.


    Hallo! Wir sind Andrea (58) und Josef (62) und leben in einem romantischen Bauernhaus in Niederbayern, 25 km von Passau,einer lebendigen Stadt mit 50.000 Einwohnern.
    Ich bin Physiotherapeutin, tanze Tango, meine Kinder sind erwachsen und ich liebe es, Gerichte, Feste, Räume und Veranstaltungen zu gestalten. Ich liebe es, meine Familie, meine Enkelkinder und unsere Freunde zu bewirten.
    Mein Mann arbeitet unter der Woche in Passau und genießt es, sein Elternhaus wiederzubeleben.
    Wir suchen engagierte Helfer, die sich uns und dem lebendigen Leben auf dem Lande anschließen möchten.
    Selbstverständlich bieten wir freie Verpflegung und Unterkunft.
    Wir sind Deutsche, sprechen Englisch und haben gute Kenntnisse in Spanisch, Französisch und Italienisch.
    Ich habe selbst vor vielen Jahren in Peru in der Kinderbetreuung gearbeitet (damals war ich 20 ;)) und ich reise immer noch gerne.
    Ich bin sehr praktisch veranlagt und habe schon mit Freiwilligen von workaway gearbeitet: Vor ein paar Jahren habe ich zusammen mit HelfernInnen einen alten Bauwagen zu einem Café umgebaut. Wir hatten eine Menge Spaß. Schau auf Facebook unter "Cafe Roulotte".
    Ich habe drei erwachsene Kinder, die von Arbeits- und Reiseerfahrungen in der ganzen Welt profitiert haben. Ich möchte die Gastfreundschaft weitergeben, die ich selbst erfahren habe, und möchte Menschen aus anderen Ländern beherbergen und mit ihnen arbeiten und leben.
    Natürlich gebe ich Dir gerne Informationen über die Gegend und die schöne Stadt Passau in der Nähe. Ein Führerschein ist sehr nützlich.

    I have three grownup children who have benefited from work and travel experiences all over the world. I would like to pass on the hospitality I have experienced by hosting people from other countries and working and living with them.
    Of course I will be happy to give you information about the area and the beautiful city of Passau nearby. A driver's license is very useful.
