Description
Dear Workaway,

After having interrupted my profile for a while, I'm now happy again to invite and meet new people.
My name is Astrid and I´m married with two boys aged 19 and 21. We live in a small village, approx. 20 min. by car to Rosenheim and 15 min. to the famous lake Chiemsee, which is very attractive to tourists.
As we are staying on the feet of the mountains, there are many options to enjoy the landscape with skiing, hiking and mountain biking.
We want to improve our English skills while talking with a guest from a English speaking country. On the other hand we can show you our traditional Bavarian way of life. There are many cultural celebrations with ‘Lederhose und Dirndl’ that a tourist will never experience; they are a part of our life style. What a better experience then learning our whole cultural itself. And of course you can practice your German.

Additional to your experience in teaching English, I’d like to have support in self-sufficient cooking of lunch 4 times a week and in helping in the house. In short, I'd like some help for 5 h a day from midday to afternoon

My workaway in Bavaria was an incredibly positive experience. Astrid is possibly one of the nicest people I have met. She is full of energy, very positive and always happy. She is very open-minded and a pleasure to talk with. She made my Workaway experience very memorable and I loved learning so much about the Bavarian culture and to explore the… read more

Hallo Clare,
Having been incredibly busy, here is now my very belated feedback. First of all, thank you Clare for being such a big help in teaching. You gave the last great support before Maxi und Jonas passed their final exams.
Being like a sister both invited you to meet their friends and showed how to party in Bavaria. With pleasure I… read more

In short, I couldn't have asked for a better workaway experience! The region is beautiful and thanks to Astrid and her wonderful family and friends I got to see a lot of the area. Teaching and cooking were very enjoyable and gave my days structure and at the same time I had plenty of time to do my own thing and plan trips away to Salzburg,… read more

As this was my first workaway experience, I didn't quite know what to expect, and was a bit nervous beforehand. All my reservations melted away instantly when I met Astrid the first day of my time in the Chiemgau. Although I'm a professional English teacher and have spent the last 3 1/2 months teaching Astrid and her boys how to use my native… read more

Dear Darren,
Our agreement started with a two month stay and now we are sad that it’ll come to an end after almost 3 ½ month. We had a perfect arrangement while enjoying your excellent Caribbean dishes and having professional English lessons. As an active online teacher there was no open question you couldn’t have helped us with. Saying goodbye… read more

I have spent two months here with Astrid and her family (18th June-18th August). I can honestly say these have been two of the best months of my life - I don't think I could have ever imagined that I would be so lucky to experience so much of the Bavarian life! From day one I felt a part of this amazing family and I can now say that I have a… read more

Dear Brooklyn,
You are a sweet and smart girl, very trust worthy and adapted yourself quickly to our family. We felt very comfortable with your stay during the last 3 month and loved your laughing and humour.

A wonderful family, I had an amazing time and I was sad to leave! I've just spend a month here and it's a lovely community. I got to take part in local events and I even taught some lessons at the local high school. Unfortunately snowfall has been poor this winter but the family still took me sledging in the area and helped me to pursue my… read more
