Description
House-full till 2020!

I burnt-out as a construction manager then installed 8000 computers for Allianz AG and fizzled out of working like a slave. I now live free and secure on early-pension and I'm making hobbies my life and future. I wish to change the world through my on-line engagement and inventions to be patented or open-sourced. ... never stopped learning, like to learn from others...and teach others. I prefer to host guests that have similar interests to mine. I do not go to bars or clubs.... I am religious, conservative-progressive, smoke anything, drink everything and eat meat regularly... I am a soft and romantic man but can easily be annoyed by laziness and stupidity, get sarcastic then... I do not like rap neither death metal music... I am also very flexible and tolerant with other cultures, yet try/learn to do things like we do them in Germany.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There is a museum in Munich for nearly everything, even a "Potato Museum". Most museums cost only €1 on Sundays. Learn German or English here at home or in the streets or activities. Munich is a student city with many clubs and societies. I have traveled to 50+countries and can share experiences.
Help
I lost a leg in 2018 but I am still very motivated and active, need a bit of help, average 2-hours/day or 6 hours every third day. Please help where you can; light household chores, cleaning, improvements, cooking, shopping, chatting, events and visits to parks. I clean behind my own mess. Guests should help voluntary with there own initiative and effort in their own time-planning. I do not like giving commands, do not need a maid!

Guests will never be bored in my home or in the city yet enjoy as much privacy as they want...
What else ...
City central (4km) with public transport only 100m from home. "MVV Isar" ticket (after 9am) only €16/week. Most museums cost only €1 on Sundays.

Abi and Alex make a great team. Their responsibility, initiatives and energy really amazed me, they quickly adapted to my home and put 100% into the chores they done without much explanation needed. We had a lot of fun and laughter too. Very efficient, they enjoyed their free time to explore Munich and surroundings to the full. Love them!

Rudolf is probably the best host one could have in Munich. Although we had some differences due to our differents perspectives of life, we managed to have a nice friendship during the time of my stay. Rudolf is a very welcoming person and generous. Also, during my stay I visited other cities and countries and it wasn't a problem for him. I highly… read more

Laura was an joyful education for me. We initially had some generation-gap issues but quickly leaned to adapt to one another. She is very quick in carrying out chores and in shopping she was a wonderful blitz in finding my products. We had a lot of fun and she really enjoyed Munich in her free time and even short trips to Berlin and Switzerland.

Kim was a great experience for me, learning about the generation gap. While I feel old and conservative I really appreciate the help I get from young travelers like Kim. We had a lot of fun between the chores of living. His knowledge and communication skills amazed me so we could chat intelligently about old music, business, economics, history and… read more

What a wonderful young lady, my favorite after 5+ workawayers.! With clear mind and her skills, helped me a very lot in my little lonely chaotic world. Eileen is already professional in her branch of study and has a very good future. I wish more help from people just like her.

I have stayed with Rudolf for a short time (I needed to leave earlier due to some personal circumstances), but I am so glad I had chance to meet this wise, warm-hearted man with great sense of humour. We had really interesting conversations. The expected help is not much, and Rudolf is very flexible host. Thanks for everything, I wish you all the… read more

I really enjoyed my two weeks at Rudolfs and Pedros well located place. The work is easy and there was a lot of time left to explore the city or meet some friends. We had a lot of interesting talks and it was nice to get to know more about his way of life.
If you don't mind that the flat isn't perfectly clean, I can definitely recommend staying… read more

Maxim is a not only a very talented photographer, he shared his other skills which helped me tremendously to make my some-what chaotic home much better. He could solve complicated shopping tasks. We had so much fun cooking together, enjoying our creations with wine. We had good discussion about cinema, music, comedians and about his trips… read more

Luigi is a very dynamic, talented and friendly young chap. His four week stay was a great pleasure and he helped me so much but also understood the generation gap and we became good friends. We could discuss many things, anything that bothered us in life. He was my very first workawayer and I am very impressed with the service.
