  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  You will have lots of time to explore the surrounding nature and culturally rich city.
  (more info about activities listed lower on the profile)
  
  We also hope that this experience can help you with learning German.
  
  Unfortunately, we are not on holiday when volunteers are here, so we won’t have a lot of time to show you around the city and parks. You have to be autonomous and organized for your needs.

  Arbeit

  We are currently looking for Workawayers to help on a number of building and renovation projects and general maintenance, as well as helping in our garden.
  
  🚧 Construction 🔨
  For one, since we are in a huge renovation process at the moment, we need help with construction work. Here experience with carpentry, tiling and/or work with concrete or wood is highly advantageous but not necessary in all cases.
  
  🧹 Maintenance - Gardening - Cooking 🍳
  The renovations are really demanding timewise, so we're struggling with the maintenance of our place, and would greatly appreciate help on all fronts.
  
  5 hours a day, 5 days a week or equivalent depending on team requirements

  Unterkunft

  💤 SLEEPING 💤
  One Tiny House with a double bed (for friends or a couple)
  One dormitory sleeping 4
  These basic but comfortable.
  We have shared bathroom facilities.
  
  🍲 FOOD 🍲
  We have a big kitchen in the warehouse, where we have plenty of space to store food and cook in big quantities.
  In our family, breakfast is usually a “serve yourself”. :)
  We have lunch together at 12:30. We mostly cook ourselves, but since the renovation, we find ourselves ordering food more frequently (Which is why it would be awesome to have someone who wants to be in charge of preparing meals for everyone)
  Dinner is a half-and-half, sometimes we cook, or have the leftovers from lunch, or we have a cold “Jause” the classical Austrian way.
  
  🌳 OUR PROPERTY 🌳
  We have a beautiful big garden, a pool, a vegetable garden, a little forest, a huge treehouse and much more!

  There are a few rules that we live by to make living together better:
  ETIQUETTE

  USING RESOURCES
  - Using tools and machines: There’s a communal toolbox with a key that everyone can use. Always bring back the tools after usage. If something breaks, tell someone or fix it. Please, don't just put it back and hope no one notices. :)
  - All other tools and machines are private. If you need to use one of them, please ask.
  - Don’t use tools and machines without getting a proper introduction to usage and storage first!
  - Take care of your leftover material and trash
