    Hello!
    We are a friendly/easy going/open minded (all typical words for a profile I know, but it's true 😉) family of 4 who are relocating to the Austrian countryside in Carinthia (a small village 15 minutes from Villach and 15 minutes from lakes and Bike/Ski resorts)
    My husband (40) is a Video Game Director and I (38) am a stay at home mum of 2 amazing kids, aged 9 and 13.

    We would like someone who knows how to do some light carpentry, we have an old 90's style kitchen with oak cabinets that need a light sanding down and varnishing. I am happy to help but have never done it before so would really appreciate someone with some knowledge on how to do this properly 😀

    So we hope to get someone to help maybe 3/4 hours a day (morning or afternoon, depending on the weather so you can enjoy some hikes while the weather is shining).
    The rest of the day is yours to enjoy the lakes or mountains!

    Your room (pictures to come as we dont move in until July) will be on the ground floor, you will have a double bed, a TV and you will have a private bathroom on the same floor (toilet/bath with shower)

    You will be welcome to dinner with us each night (we are pretty simple cooks, typically we love chicken fajitas, pasta dishes, sausages, BBQ in summer a lot) but if you rather cook for yourselves you are of course welcome to do so and I will also provide room in the fridge for anything you also want to buy but please feel free to snacks/fruit/lunch items we have in the house.

    We are non smokers and have 2 cats that once they are used to you love a snuggle! We also have 2 children that are very used to hosting guests as we are also on a home exchange platform.

    You will need a car for the area or if you are travelling with a bicycle then that will be fine too, you can get to a train station within 15 minutes on the bike. This train station has trains running to and from Vienna etc..

    My husband works in Ljubljana and so if you fancy a day trip to Lale Bled on a day he is commuting you are welcome to jump in the car and he will drop you for the day and collect you in the late afternoon.

    We have been home swapping and hosting for years and can show you over 50 5star reviews that we are "completely normal and likable people" 😅 so even though we are new to the workaway kind of set up you can still feel confident in your choice with us.

    We are looking for someone to stay at least week to get the tasks done but after that you are welcome to stay a few more days, without any tasks, to explore the area even further if you want.

    We will have just moved in so please be a little patient with the organisation of the house :)

    We speak fluent English and Spanish and the children are fluent in German. If someone wants to also speak German to my husband and I that would be an awesome plus!
