  Descrição

  My name is Angela and I live with my husband and two kids (20+24) in Glashütten, in the Taunus region, 30 minutes from Frankfurt.
  Our eldest took off last May for work&travel to South East Asia and she convinced me to be a host here in Germany.
  
  This winter /spring 2020 we could use some helping hands in the garden with weeding, ideally you do not mind working at this climate temperatures outdoors and would like to help me indoors with house spring cleaning.
  
  this summer 2020 we will be starting an ECO microhouse (72m²) low-energy building project in our garden.
  We welcome skilled builders, carpenters, drywall specialist, painters to join this project.
  
  Chef 's or enthusiastic hobby cook 's , Physical therapists or physical trainers and garden lovers are welcomed throughout the year. Different professions ;) are welcomed too, please take a look at our open projects and other help required below.
  
  I'm using a walking-aid due to a autoimmune muscle weakness and am therefore not able to work in the house and garden as I would like. So a helping hand is always welcomed ;)

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  The Taunus area where we live offers a lot of nature and woods to go walking. We live next to the Feldberg, a high mountain that is great for hiking, mountain biking and running. In the winter it is very popular for sledging. Frankfurt city is 30 mins away by car. With 1 bus & 1 train it takes 1 hour and to Frankfurt. The bus station is 10 mins away if you walk slowly. I'm happy to help you find a transfer route where you would want to go :)

  Algo mais...

  If I can manage i try to have Breakfast and Lunch together with our workawayers ;) we prepare it usually together or you make your own.
  
  Dinner is usually prepared and taken by yourself. Sometimes we can have dinner together.
  
  Due to a long working day, my husband is exhausted and prefers to have a quiet dinner with the family. We enjoy our privacy in the evenings, so workawayers are encouraged to arrange to have their dinner before and retreat to their quarters or enjoy some of the various outdoor activities.
  The house is quite large so you can enjoy your privacy and retreat in the groundfloor/garden and pool area while we live in the 1st floor.

  We have a nice big indoor pool that you can use and lots of nature and forest nearby to hike and explore in your free time. Königstein which is a very nice small city just a few minutes away by bus is very nice too or if you feel more like city life you may explore Frankfurt.
