  Descripción

  We are David (geographer, 31) & Alina (drafts woman, 34) with four cats and a few chicken.
  A few years back we've bought an old homestead in a tiny village in France. We are now renovating the buildings and bringing live back to the neglected garden. David is working from home and I'm on two and an half day in a city closeby.
  We are both passionated about nature, gardening and traveling. We stayed ourselves at a few workaway hosts all over the globe and love the concept. Our little paradise is located in northeastern France's Lorraine region, sourrounded by the biggest continious forest area of central europe (Les Vogues du nord / Pfälzerwald) with infinit opportunities for hiking, climbing, camping, fishing and swimming. Nearby towns (for shopping, hospital, restaurants, etc.) are about half an hour drive. You would need a car to get around but we can always share a ride or borrow a bike.
  So if you like peacefull, little villages, this is the right spot for you :)

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Here you can learn a lot about history (the main road of our village is around 1900 years old), local foods (we have a very nice traditional restaurant in our village), learn the local dialect (some weird mix of german and french, haha!) and see how people still try to live with and within nature in the 21. century in central europe.
  There are also plenty of natural sides like rock formations, castle ruins and forest lakes around to explore.
  
  Beside all of this we both have traveled a lot and are happy to share experiences and stories around a campfire in our garden.

  Ayuda

  There's all kind of work on our property :D .. some examples :
  * there's always something to do in the garden (weeding, watering the plants, harvesting, etc.)
  * we're renovating the main building (plastering and painting walls, sanding the floor, etc.)
  * we need to declutter the shed so future animals have a cosy place to stay
  * since we're only heating with wood there's a loooot of wood waiting to be chopped ;D
  
  You see, it TOTALLY depends on the peole who will come to help!
  What kind of help are you willing to offer? Which skills do you have?
  We won't force you to chop wood if you're a garden person ^^
  
  Skills of an electrician, a carpenter or a roofer would be highly appreciated but any kind of help is welcome!

  Alojamiento

  One room is yours :) But you're also free to put your tent or vehicle somewhere around the poperty.
  Bathroom and kitchen is shared. We provide breakfast and dinner on all working days. Weekends are individual but we mostly like to cook and eat together. Alina is cooking vegetarian most of the time. We cannot provide special diets but if you are alergic to something just let us know.

  David's working from home too, so this would be perfectly fine. However since we're living pretty rural connection can be poor sometimes.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  A van would fit somewhere and I guess a small motorhome too :)
