  Beschreibung

  Hi There! my name is Hanno and I am a single male, Just retired. Living with me is my 21 year old nephew. I am restoring my old farmhouse, besides other hobbies such as work on classic cars, my sport boat and my camper. I also have a big garden that can be worked in by volunteers, but I myself do not (want to) have "green fingers".

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I am a foreigner in Switzerland myself, and learned a lot over the past 25 years that I've been living here. I can tell you a lot about this country and its traditions, mostly by sharing with you the mistakes and failures that I made in that time :-). I speak Dutch (native language), English, French and German, good enough to help you if you are learning these Languages and need some practical experience. However, I am not a language teacher. Also, I am trying to live a carbon neutral life by Recyclings and re-using as many resources as possible. However, I keep things in balance and do have a couple of classic cars, a camper and a speedboat :-).

  Arbeit

  In the winter, almost all of the work will be in the house. This would be mainly housekeeping like cooking, cleaning watering plants and laundry. We are a small household, so this means that it can be done in 2 to 3 hours. If or when the volunteer is able and willing to do more and/or to learn more, in the direction of some DIY work like painting or carpentry, this can also be done. However, in the winter and during office hours, I tend not to have much of this kind of work.
  
  In the summer, the above also has to be considered and besides that, also depending on the volunteers capabilities and preferences, there is a lot of gardening to do and the DIY work on the outside of the house can be done.

  Dieser Gastgeber bietet Sprachaustausch an
  I like to speak in- or listen to the 4 languages that I know well. Apart from some practical words and phrases, I don't really need to learn any other language (too many hobbies as is), but even if I don't speak your language, and you don't master one that I do speak, we will get along with the help of hands and gestures and, of course, Google translate :-).

  High speed internet and desk working space is available in the Helpers room at any time (24-7). I am retired but still do some work at home so I have an Internet connection that is fast and reliable.

  Platz zum Abstellen von Camper Vans

  We have enough parking space but most of it is not exactly level. This means that in order to sleep in the camper, it has to be leveled. However, we have enough beds inside!

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  Only smaller pets that are well house trained. Our apartment is small and a 60 kg St. Bernard just doesn't fit :-)
