    Description

    We are a family of friends, living together in a big, old house that has a lot of space and needs a lot of work to make and keep it livable. We've been hosting travelers for years, and find it phenomenal to have them be part of our family. However, we can't keep up with the work in the house anymore and need some extra help with cleaning, maintenance and some building in and around the house.

    Like said, we've been hosting travelers for years. There is always someone who is up for taking people out into the city or nature. Sometimes we do group trips, renting a boat or go camping. Every day is unique if you just go with the flow and immerse yourself into our big crazy family.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Doing life together with us will include absorbing a lot of cultures.. because we've been hosting travelers for a long time, we know all the details about our own culture. Also, there may be short-time travelers passing through while you're staying, with many different nationalities and cultures. It's always an amazing mix where we constantly learn about our world.

    Help

    Mostly cleaning and maintenance. It's an old house, so we try to keep up with keeping it standing, so there may be some building going on from time to time. We also have a yard that could use some love.

    It's a big house with many sleeping surfaces. We're currently fixing up a few of the rooms, so we have all guests in two rooms, one male, one female.
