Description
living in a touristic city of Lake of Constance i have a huge house with 11 rooms and a 3-room appartment. In summer I rent the app. to tourists.
My garden needs urgent help with green thumb and a heart for gardening. We have a lot of renovation and sustainable and alternative work to do. My daughter and her children( 2,5 and 6 ) will move the 1st week of August 2023 from Munich to my house, we need help there as well.
I am the mother( 73 years) of 3 grown-up children ( 41,40,33 yrs) who live about 160 km away.
I studied languages and medicine. I used to travel a lot around all over Europe, USA, Australia,Egypt. I always met wonderful people !
But my big love is Mexico. I traveled there several times and in 2013 I stayed for 4 months with a family which is now my Mexican family.
during winter I have students or young ingeneers who do a 6-months practice and write their MA or MBA in a big Company. They come from all over the world and I love to have guests and to meet people.
As my children now have partners and children, I live alone and need a helping hand some times.
I understand and speak German, English, French,Italian, Spanish and would like to improve my Spanish.
There is a piano , guitar and a tuba available, we do any kind of arts.
Creative and helpful workawayers are very welcome !

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
If you come to Lindau, you can learn 'German and cooking with me or you show me how you cook at home.
You can do sailing and all kinds of water- or mountainsport, in winter all kinds of wintersports. you can visit Austria, Switzerland, Italy, France, all is very close.
I will show you around and help and inform you with everything you may need or are interested in.
Warning: There is no smoking, no drugs, no animals allowed at my place.
I am a good cook and I use seasonal local bio- food, some of them I grow in my garden. We sometimes eat meat and fish, sometimes the meal is vegetarian but not vegan.
I do all my jam and marmelade my own and very often I do bake my own bread.
Help
right now I need a carpenter to help me with renovating and my garden is changing into a jungle without help.
I want to improve and practice my Spanish, and I hope that there are a lot of Mexican people with workaway I would prefer to host.
And sometimes I just need s.o. who drives me to another place because my eyes do not like driving at nighttime, for example from Munich to Lindau.
Sometimes I go to Munich or Augsburg to care for my grand-children or I visit my numerous family and friends.

There are cycle and hicking ways right by our home which offers you the opportunity to explore some of the local historic sites, beergarden or whatever you like. Nice parcs, hiking areas, natural recreation areas within some minutes.
South Germany is in general a very pleasant area. If you like you will find plenty of cultural places to visit, or
