Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We speak english at home but Julia also speaks german. Having conversations with our workawayers and learning about each other's countries is a great way to get to know each other's cultures and lives.
There is a pool outside for the hot days during summer!Help
We have a very large garden and need help with weeding, watering, planting, mulching or harvesting and garden maintenance, depending on the time of year. Some help with animal care or housework may be needed on occasion.
The work will be a mix of individual work as well as working with Julia together in the garden.Languages
