  Description

  Hi there,
  
  we are Maria and Merlin. Both of us are creative, with a focus on music. We live in Graz, a small city in Austria and we just moved into our new house where we would like to start community living. Graz is cute; we are well connected in the art scene so we always know what cool events are up and where.. ;) You are never far from nature either here and we love to go there. There is a forest close to our home and it kind of feels like living on the countryside even though you're only about 20 minutes away from the city center.
  
  Our goal here is to create a small intentional community, a close, interdependent network of indiviuals that live life together. Eventually we want to move closer to nature probably, the goal here is to build secure relationships and find people to do that with..
  
  We are very much looking forward to meet you!
  
  cheers,
  Maria and Merlin :) <3

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can take trips together to artistitic and nature sites, we can take you to concerts and all sorts of cultural events in our little city. Merlin and I are both from around here so we know good places.
  
  You'll get to meet some of our lovely friends (most of them are artistic too) and if you're lucky also a real austrian grandma! ;)
  
  About every three months we host a fabulous jam session, so there's the possibility to be part of that too. We love to make music together, cook and learn new things.
  
  We can teach you some German if you'd like of course.
  
  I (Maria) also love to dance, let's share some moves!! :))

  Help

  We need a helping hand with tasks on the house. Before we arrived it had been empty for some years so theres stuff to do.
  Current projects are light painting, setting up an art studio and a music room, gardening, other smaller things to fix. There is room for creative projects as well, like murals, mosaics,...
  
  There might also be the opportunity to help with setting up jam sessions or DIY community concerts and stuff like that and learn about community event technology (Merlins domain).

  Accommodation

  As of now there is one prepared guest room in the house with one bed and an extra mattress on the floor. There are other empty rooms that can be converted too potentially. Sometimes we have friends staying over. We will most likely share a bathroom. There iis an extra bathroom as well, it just needs a goood clean before use. (We haven't touched that one yet...)
  
  We don't always cook for lunch or dinner but most of the days we do. It is always vegan. If you want eggs or dairy you'll need to provide that for yourself xd.. We really value eating healthy so most of the stuff we cook is organic and gluten free too. Breakfast is provided regularly; we have porridge 98% of the time (we are porridge pros hehe...).
