Description
last house before the wood begins. charming loneliness. quiet silence. fire heating. elements at the doorstep. birds orchestra. next grocery store and bakery in the village 4km away. next town is remiremont 20min by car. i need little but constant help with wood, household, garden. as i work in basel sometimes, the house needs to be sit. especially in winter-heating-times. so sometimes you are alone here. sometimes there are a few people. and sometimes just my humble self, chilling under a tree. there is a lot of space for personality and privacy. also if you are working on your own projects and need silence, it is probably the best place to be.
i am a multivalent being with a fully functioning sense of humor. happy to open up for different people who want to meet in respect and peace.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
it is in the vogesen, a very woody mountain range in france. intact nature, friendly people. we can learn french, german, english. visiting small towns or the wood-museum or the textil-museum. doing sports like bike, ski, snow-shoe, sledge... going to the theatre du peuple or sing together our fav songs... i work as a singer and body-meditation-teacher. this place is definitely lgbtq+ friendly. i just use this terms because it is common sense/language but actually i consider it non of my business how you identify yourself and to whom you are attracted to. i would love my guests to feel free and to respect each others liberation processes in this incredible times we live. culture for me means to communicate openly without fear. may this expression of communication be your very individual one. i like to have open conversations about what actually happens and i love to stretch contemporary communities from their differences to their commonalities. i am looking forward for a cultural exchange in this new project in france.
Help
small but constant helps are: wood piling, wood chopping, making fire, cleaning windows, cut the grass, raking the grass or prepearing the garden for the winter. as this project is in its beginnings, i can not yet tell exactly what needs to be done. every day i learn new things. but let me assure you that i do not expect you to do the BIG work for free or any of such.

My stay at Dina home was amazing. For my first Workaway experience, I couldn’t have hoped for anything better. Dina’s welcome was wonderful, her home is a true haven of peace, and the region is incredible to explore. I’m leaving with wonderful memories. I’m very grateful to you for this experience, Dina. Thank you so much.
