    Hello, I'm Franziska. I am a graphic designer and more. I live with my two sons in a large wooden house with a big garden in Kakenstorf, a village south of Hamburg. This year I want to paint my house this year and create a small swimming pond and a fence :)

    I offer a nice accommodation, meals, and language practice in German and English. I think 4 hours helping a day would be perfect, the rest of the day you can enjoy with your own programme. Kakenstorf is nestled in the rural region of the Nordheide and offers peace and relaxation.

    Help

    I have a 30 year old Norwegian house and the facade needs to be painted (walls and windows), one side has already been painted.

    I also want to create a small natural swimming pond. There is already a hole, but it needs to be enlarged. It would be great if someone know about this. But it's not important. Google helps :)

    Of course, not everything has to be done by one person.
    You don't need any special skills, but you should be strong enough to do physically tasks.

    I have two bikes that you can repair, if you can and of course.

    Maximum 4 hours a day / 5 days a week (your days off are at your convenience)

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You get a nice guest room with a bed, clothes rail and desk, as well as another room that would be available if necessary (for two people). There is breakfast and at least one other meal included. We eat almost everything and we have no allergies. If you have any special needs, please let me know. The kitchen and living room can of course also be used. The house is large but also very noisy, especially the stairs creak. And my boys are not the quietest either.

    What else ...

    Kakenstorf is nestled in the rural region of the Nordheide and offers peace and relaxation. The Lüneburg Heath is a popular recreational area for hiking and other activities. activities. It covers an area of over 107,000 hectares and comprises the largest contiguous heathland in Central Europe. But moors, old forests, heath streams, rivers and lively villages with old farmsteads and thatched houses are also part of this unique cultural landscape. Kakenstorf is easy to reach by car thanks to its links to the A7 and A1 motorways. The nearest railway station is approx. 3 km away. My house is opposite a bus stop, a railway station with a connection to Hamburg is 3 km away, there is a train to Hamburg and Bremen once an hour. I would be happy to provide more information.

    The garden is a little paradise, but a natural one. We have a sauna, which can be used exclusively once a week.
