    Description

    Hello Workawayer,

    We, Elena and Gernot, are interested in cultural exchange at work and in our free time.
    We're doing this in Thuringia and Munich.
    In Thuringia, there's a house with a garden that needs care.
    You can live there and do some care.

    I'm Gernot, 64 years old and married. I speak German, English, and French.

    See you then, Gernot
    Spread good kharma
