Description
I am seventy-two and live in a village in southern Poland, right by the forest. Have a small garden with veggies and flowers. The countryside is quite attractive for nature lovers . There is a big forest, a lake and lots of walking paths. Bikes are available. I live alone with my cat but just next door lives my daughter with her partner and four nice dogs. We come together daily and often have a meal together. The atmosphere is very friendly here. I am a retired teacher and I love chatting with people and working together as much as I can . I could host one voluteer and provide her/him with a room and meals. There is also access to the Internet at my place. I speak English and a bit of Russian.

Help
I am inviting people with both good attitude to practicality and artistic skills. At this time of the year gardening experience is more than welcome as well as nice cooking approach. Operating some basic tools people use when living in a village like a hammer, axe, screwdriver is welcome too. I would appreciate some nice and cultural people.

Accommodation
A room, bathroom, kitchen , living room in my house will be available. We will be cooking on spot with some occasional barbecue in the garden .
What else ...
I have had some helpers in my house including the workaway volunteer. This gives me some experience, appreciation of the exchange, collaboration, sharing cultural background information and nice meals with chatting.
Arranging free time may include walks in the forest, walks to the lake or nearby town. There is also some old part of the town with a castle and a museum of Polish folklor to explore, a river with a dam to walk on and nice coffee shops.
Krakow - our old and famous with tourists city can provide my guests with variety of interesting cultural events, beautiful sights like old forms of architecture, folk arts, museums and concerts to attend. It is just within one hour and half by bus from my place. Another very attractive opportunity is exploring the Salt Mine in Wieliczka which is less than an hour to get to.
As to sharing my house with the volunteers -there's lots of space here then my privacy should not be challenged . I value quiet nights and no smoking inside the house.
Artistic and musical skills are very appreciated.
