  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I love languages and would be happy to teach you Dutch. The plot of land is 2005m2 in size and the garden is very random and still in development as it's young and building is also happening. A bit of permaculture, a bit of vegetable garden and lots of flowers. I will happily share my love and knowledge of plants and what I don't know we'll figure out together :) I draw and illustrate and can show you my gear, tips and tricks.

  Arbeit

  Building a house in the near future and I am currently looking for companionship to help preparing the building site.
  
  In the garden there is always lots to do! I hope you like digging, we can share the love of digging in heavy clay :) I don't have a drivers license so need help picking things up, I can borrow a (stick shift!) car easily.
  
  - general decluttering
  - make paths
  - chickens; build a bigger chickencoop, foxproof. Build fencing and a chickentractor so they can feast on bugs and greens in different spots
  - make low beds for vegetables, fill with compost
  - feed the chickens, land-turtles and play with the cats
  - garden jobs
  - alternate cooking dinner, you one day, me the next. (AIP diet or lectin free diet; healthy and fresh)
  
  Please tell me as many details about yourself as you can and also what you are experienced in, what your goal is and why you would like to stay here.

  Caravan, fit for 2 people. The caravan has a comfy 2 persons matras and a cassette toilet. The drinking water there comes in bottles. Bathroom/shower is with me and there is also a festival toilet outside. There is heating, internet and electricity. You can wash your clothes here too. I can host a campervan / motorhome / minibus and there is space for tents; I have a large tent for 2 people available in the summertime.

  Was noch ...

  I'll provide you with a bycicle, public transport is at 18 minutes walking but not frequent. A weekend and evening bus goes at 40 minutes walking. It's 25 minutes by car to Amsterdam and 30 minutes cycling to the train station. There is a organicmarket every saturday and the supermarket plus some convenient stores are at 7 minutes cycling. Almere Oosterwold is an experimental young neighbourhood outside the city. Only 12,5% of each plot is allowed to be built on, so there is lots of green and interesting architechture. it's only 6 years old so lots of people are still building and there's great community spirit. 50% of each plot has to be dedicated to urban agriculture. I feel rather lucky living here and would like to offer you the opportunity to see this and meet people. =] There are really nice neighbours here and we help each other out if needed. We can discuss minimum working hours, no problem. I'm not sure I'm the best of cooks and unfortunately there is a list of things I shouldn't eat (lectin free) but we can work it out :) Help cooking will be really helpfull since I have a job and this project to manage.
