Hello,
we live in a house on the edge of Cologne. Our 21 year old son, Philipp, is now living in Berlin, therefore his room (25sqm) with an own bath and a separate entrance is free. The Connection to the City is very good. It takes you about 30 min. by bus or train.
With our food we put very big value of quality. So the most is organic and whole food.
We eat mostly vegetarian only about two times a week we cook meat or fish.
It is not the first time that we will be hosts. Our son has already been for one year in the USA and during this time we had several guests. They came from Germany, the States and Japan. Also last year we had a girl from Costa Rica living for 4 months in the small room in the attic of our house.
And in the last two years Mathilde from France has lived together with us for nearly seven months. Carla from Chile has lived for nearly two months in our home.
We speak quite good english and also some spanish.
Two kilometers away lives our daughter with her husband and her two little children. They also work as artisans.
We have a lot of friends in the neighbourhood but unfortunately in november and dezember we have little time to share time with them.
We are really excited to get to know you and hope you will enjoy the stay at our home.
Please look at our calendar if we need somebody for the time you would like to come.
Because we are running a business we will pay you the normal wage deducting a proportion for your food and the accomodation.

The people of Cologne are known to be sociable therefore it is easy to get in contact with them. It is a Vibrant City.
We have a very interesting Job and you could learn how to create a pendant out of an old silber fork, to prepare the hut for a Christmas market and to build it up.
We are artcraftsman and make jewellery from old silver cutlery. We are selling our goods on craft-markets as well on Christmas markets.
We are looking for someone who could help us in the production of our goods. Also there is some work in our warehouse and we need some help for the construction of our Christmas Market huts (only in november and december).
For the spring of 2020 (the months of March to June, July) we are looking for a person who can help us a bit in the workshop, but especially when working on our house.
• Some painting work would have to be done on our wooden house
• In the garden, a small tree must be felled
• We want to dismantle a small shed and rebuild it at another location
• At the vacated place we want to build a new workshop in the garden
