Description
We are Mesi and Joe, living in the heart of Hungary (EU), Gyömrő . It is 15 kilometers from the capital Budapest and 15 mins from the Airport.
We are two friendly, happy, helpful and open minded people. It always makes us happy when we can meet new people, hear their stories, share our experience and have a good time. We are interested in healthy eating (sugarfree & wholegrain) and we are open to other nation's food (but no worries, we like sweets occasionally 😉). Direct and empathetic communication is also important for us in our household. We like to go out, chat, share the experiences and enjoy the happy, fun and calm atmosphere.
Mesi is a friendly and compassionate person with a big heart. She likes chatting, direct communication is important for her. She speaks intermediate English, so the practise is really useful. Joe is extroverted, likes good stories and jokes, always open to going out, speaks upper-intermediate english, but likes to practise. Also we have a black inhouse cat (Mici). In daytime we usuall listen electronic music and we watch a series in the evening. Both of us working from home 3-4 days a week. Also likes to go out in the weekends or late afternoons in the summer.
Our lovely town has restaurants and a cafés, live music and summer events, a castle, a swimming lake, fishing lake and a swimming pool, but there are a plenty of any other trip activities in nature with beautiful walkpaths, small rivers, forests. If you prefer city life and historical downtown sight-seeing, you can go to Budapest in 30 min by train, 40 mins by bus.

Help
We are looking for one/two workawayers. For practical reasons we cannot invite helpers who are travelling with pets. We love to share our daily life, and mainly we need help inhouse like cooking (so if you love to cook you are welcome), cleaning, play with the cat if you want, some garden work out like fence painting in spring, watering plants in summer etc. Also we need help in veryday English language practice.
When messaging us, please include:
Your travel dates (start date, duration, any flexibility), your household experiences and why you think you are the right person for our family.
Our ideal workaway volunteer is reliable, has experience in cooking&household and a person with whom we could chat, laugh and have a good time around a table. You are always welcome to join us for family meals. We eat meat, try to avoid sugar but we can easily adapt vegetarian diets, or other allergies if you have. Weekends are flexible. You could join in our family life, but get to have a lot of free time to do your own thing, whether it’s learning or pursuing an activity/hobbies or sight-seeing around Gyömrő/Budapest or just relaxing.
