  • Description

    Description

    Hi, we are a family of 4 with two girls aged 17 and 19. We live in Bad Kohlgrub, a small village in Bavaria, around one hour away from Munich and next to the Alps, on a little farm with cows, chickens, ducks and cats. We are looking for some help around the house or in the garden, but the tasks can vary according to the season and your skills.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can get to know the famous and interesting bavarian culture and landscape, learn Bavarian and German and learn a lot about what live on a farm in the middle of the nature is like.
    We would also be happy to learn about your culture and your language during your stay with us.

  • Help

    Help

    There are several different things you could help with: gardening, cooking, harvesting, householding, cleaning around the house, help on the farm (no tasks related to the "farm business" because this isn't allowed ) or do little DIY projects.

    In winter, there's less gardening so more works around the house, cooking and cleaning.
    In spring and summer we are looking for someone who has experience with gardening to help us with preparing the vegetable patches, planting, dugging out groundsels,...
    If you want, we can do some of these tasks together in order to get to know each other and learn from each other (about culture and language, for example).
    Besides, we would also love to get lessons in english, french or spanish if one of those languages is your mother tongue.

    So if you love to work in nature, surrounded by a beautiful landscape and are willing to get your hands dirty and learn new things, then don't wait any longer and write us!

    What else ...

    In your time off you can either stay with us or have private time in your room or visit the surroundings. The next bigger village with a beautiful pedestrian zone is just 20 minutes away and Munich around 1 hour by train.
    We also live next to the Alps so you can go hiking or skiing in winter without needing to drive and there are a lot of beautiful lakes not far away.
    As for the internet access: in your room, there is no wifi at the moment, but you can use mobile data and in our kitchen and living room there is wifi.
    We can't offer you a car, but you can use our bikes and if you come with your own car, there is enough space to park it.
