  Help

  I am looking for a reliable person who is talented in one or several of these skills to help with computers or with our private home and garden:
  
  Manual tasks: cleaning, tidying, gardening (also growing fruit and veg), repairing stuff around the house as well as fences around the plot of land. Explicit routine is to keep the house tidy - all is explained in video.
  
  The help depends on your speed and organisation and how many tasks you want to take on. An average of 20 hrs per week seems fair; you decide on what days you want to help.

  Accommodation

  A super nice room inside the house or in a cute cabin on the plot. Good healthy matrasses. There's no real separation between rooms. For example, at night, you walk through common area to reach the bathroom. We have a chamber pot if you need that solution.
  Food: you cook, we cook, we decide together who wants to do what.

  What else ...

  We are 1 hour from Brussels, 3 hrs from Paris, 3 hrs from Amsterdam, 2 hrs from Germany, 5 hrs from London. There is a bus stop 10 min walk from here that takes you to a main train station. I can drive you around at the local rates if you need to and there are taxis, too. IN BRIEF: Dear Workawayer, how about staying at our special place for a while, where we need 3 types of skills:
  - growing vegetables and doing all the necessary work to keep the land looking good
  - cleaning and tidying the house and premises so they always are super clean and tidy
  - help with work on the PC for people talented with geeky AI stuff or admin stuff.
  Of course, yu pick what you can do according to your skills.
  You get accommodation + big organic breakfast (we can share other meals too if you enjoy this). In exchange, you work about 20 hrs per week on the days you choose, which gives you plenty of time to go on city trips to the best capitals around. I often go there myself. We are a group of 2 to 3 people, depending on who is travelling. You can also occasionnally rent the car . Here is what our place looks like and the links to the YouTube videos about it. Hoping to welcome you soon!
