  Description

  Hello beautiful people - we are looking either for a single person or a couple. We are Christina and Maximilian, mid 30ths, both from Germany and recently moved to Austria. We are living in the mountains of Vorarlberg, embedded in a beautiful landscape with clear rivers and green fields. As an active couple we are looking for support in creating and maintaining our garden aswell as for adequate support in caring for our animals and houshold. Aditionally we are happy to have someone here to keep everything running while we are away for business meetings and other trips that require overnight stays, which happens quite sometimes. This area in Vorarlberg is a premier alpine destination famous for its unmatched snow reliability and year-round mountain access. It offers the perfect opportunities for both skiing and summer hikes. We would love to welcome you in exchange for lodging and of course the food in line with the famliy dinners is for free. We are easy going, generous people and happy to figure out what works best for everyone.
  
  We are living with our animals (one dog, three cats, three chicken) in this natural paradise. Our house is surrounded by mountains and green fields so you are about to experience great nature here. My wife Christina is a mentor for conscious living and human potential. She guides people toward a wider perspective on themselves, their relationships and life. Her work takes many different forms - from private mentoring and retreats to workshops and creative collaborations. She deeply values simplicity, authenticity, beauty and meaningful conversations. When she is not working you`ll find her in the garden, loving on our animals, in nature, dancing around, cooking delicious food or making our home more beautiful. I`m the co-founder of a medical technology company where I work closely with my team and fellow founders to develop innovative healthcare solutions. My professional life is currently quite demanding but I`m deeply enjoy building something with purpose alongside my co-founders. Outside of work I enjoy road cycling, home workouts and spending time with Christina. I appreciate a good routine and enjoy the quiet satisfaction of an active, healthy lifestyle. Besides that we are both very open minded people, always up for adventures, we live quite healthy, eat almost everything organic, cook fresh every day, love activities, sports and inspiring company. In winter we enoy skiing and snowboot hikes - of course you are welcome to join these activities.
  
  We moved in only a few weeks ago, so there are lots of little things to do in general which we can organize flexible. You are most welcome here.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The area we are living here is perfect for souls who enjoy nature and mountains. You can literally start walking into different trails a few meter besides our entrance. It is a very calm village, from where you can explore many trails, ... We have also lots of paragliding workshops here and many bicycles around in summer. In winter you can do all kind of winter sports - we live literally only a 5 minute drive from the next cable car station. Aditionally there is a bus station in front of our house that brings you into the mountains aswell - summer and winter. The mountains are THE thing to experience here and we are beyond grateful to have them right in front of our door. The next little city with shopping and cafes are about 10 minutes away, but there is also a little supermarket in our village. We are about 40 minutes from the next big city Dornbirn, 1 hour from Bodensee, 2 hours from Zürich, 2 1/2 hours from Munich.

  Accommodation

  We have a nice room on ground floor with big windows and view into the green that would be your room . There is a little bodega inside with washing maschine and dryer, means sometimes we need to quickly pass through to reach our washing maschine since this is the one we are using aswell. (they are kinda separate from the room that would be yours, not visible). Alternatively you are invited to come with camper van to sleep, and use all other areas of the house freely (like bathroom, kitchen, sauna, living room, balcony, garden, ..)
  
  We are all in for clear communication so that we can figure things out together. Transparency is very important to us. Come as you are, express the way you feel. Then we can easily flow and adjust.

  What else ...

  If you can bring your own car thats definitely a big plus since the area is very rural. Even though we have a car and a camper van that you could also use if needed.
  
  We live very aligned to our own rhythm and natural cycle, which means that there are days where we are more calm and retreated and days where we listend to music or sing and dance around the house. There are no specific rules around the house and we want you to feel as free and relaxed as possible to be yourself and have a great time. We prefer quit times in the early mornings where we usually dont talk too much. We eat quite healthy, which means mainly organic and freshly cooked. Besides that we love movement, and authentic connection.
  
  We are very looking forward to connect with you - reach out if you feel resonance.
