  Description

  We are a family of four - my husband Chris (37), myself Julia (32) and our two sons (4 and 1). Chris is an electrical engineer who is passionate about playing soccer. I (Julia) work in the marketing department in the automotive industry and love yoga, meditation and learning :) We have both lived in the States for about a year during high school (different years and different states), lived in Australia for half a year and traveled various countries together. I have also studied in Madrid for one semester. We would love to meet some nice people and learn from great exchanges, as I believe everyone has to offer so much (experience, points of view, kindness etc.).
  
  We live in the beautiful city of Ludwigsburg. It has everything you need from castles to parks, a river, shopping opportunitites, cafés and restaurants. We love spending time outside (especially in the summer) and have a big backyard (with a fire pit, large lawn, trees, play structure etc.) to do so. That's also were your help would come in :) We would like for one to two nice and maybe fun workaway traveler(s) to join us for a couple weeks this summer between the beginning of August and the middle of September - we can still talk about the details.
  
  We offer a compfy room (or two) with a queen size bed, a desk, a closed etc. (all built and furnished in 2021/2022) in an appartment in our house along with some nice chats and cultural exchange with us. We can show you how to prepare some German food and you can join in on some of our family fun. If that sounds at all interesting to you - let's talk :)

  Help

  We would appreciate some help with putting up a fence, a wood shed, planting some plants etc. So mostly help with projects around the house.
  If you are good with kids and would like to spend time with them, help around the house or come from a Spanish speaking country that would also be areas we could potentially benefit from :)
