    Description

    We are a a German/Canadian family of 5 with a dog, 2 cats and chickens. Our children are 11, 9 and 5 years old. We can all speak English and German. Our house is 500 years old and we are looking for someone to help out with dog sitting, gardening and cleaning up the property. Currently we are working on making a large vegetable garden in front of the house. Our location is around 13 km from Dannenberg and Lüchow. In both of these locations there is access to public transportation. At our house there are bikes that you are free to use. We are also looking for people that are willing to be a part of our family life. We plan on cooking and eating together. On our property there is a trailer with beds and a large table. This will be your sleeping place. For more information feel free to contact us.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We made our first experiences with workawayers in our last project. It was nice to have international people at our house for ourselves and also our children. The free lifestyle of travelers always helped us get out of our busy day to day lives and feel more lively and young. We can share our knowledge about gardening (currently start-up phase). For people that enjoy playing music, this would be a good household to visit.

    Help

    If you choose to join us you will be helping out around our old farm house. Tasks will include helping us to get our garden going, helping with a fence dog sitting and cleaning up outside around the farm. Ideally you are a person who likes kids. We do not expect anyone to take care our children, but it would be great if you enjoy spending time with them and the rest of our family.
