    Description

    My boyfriend Christian, our two dogs—Xela Wie (an Australian Shepherd) and Stan (a Labrador)—and I live in the beautiful small city of Klagenfurt, Austria, near the wonderful Wörthersee lake. We don’t live directly in the city but on the outskirts, in a lovely area surrounded by forests.

    Last year, we built a beautiful wooden house, and this year, we want to focus on the garden—building a fence, creating a raised garden bed from wood, and constructing a wooden terrace. For these tasks, we would really appreciate some help.

    We speak German and English, and my boyfriend has recently started playing the handpan. Christian is a professional dog trainer, and I am a university teacher. We are both not very handy, but we are easygoing and open-minded. I am a vegetarian, while Christian eats everything. I guess this is the perfect place for you if you love dogs, enjoy working outside, appreciate nature, and value peace and quiet.
