    Description

    Hello,
    we are Henrik and Ligia, and we live in Bötzow, the
    "horse village" near Berlin, surrounded by forests, lakes, and fields. This is the ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful nature and lake landscape of
    Northern Brandenburg... as well as the cities of Berlin and Potsdam, whose centers are only 30 minutes to 1 hour away. We live on a 1,700 square meter property in a beautiful old house from the
    1930s and feel very much at home here.
    I, Henrik, am a craftsman, passionate gardener, and wild herb expert. Ligia is a naturopathic psychotherapist, dance movement therapist, and former journalist. We have a large natural garden and grow a lot of fruit and vegetables; we love healthy food and are mostly vegan—it would be great if you did too.

    We love animals. Our dog,
    Elly, is the sweetest, most lovely and lovable dog in the world and lived with us for almost 18 years; we miss her very much, she is always in our hearts.

    We are currently in the adoption process to welcome Roni, a lovely dog ​​from Romania, into our family.

    We're also converting an old shed, and you can help us with that. Handymanship experience is a huge plus, building skills are wonderful, and helping hands are always needed. You're welcome to come alone or as a couple (even with a child). There's plenty of space in our lovely home and garden, and always something to do. We look forward to meeting you!

    Best regards, Henrik & Ligia

    Hallo,
    wir sind Henrik und Ligia, leben in Bötzow dem
    "Pferdedorf" am Rande Berlins, umgeben von Wäldern, Seen und Feldern. Hier ist der ideale Platz, um sich zu erholen und die wunderschöne Natur und Seenlandschaft
    Nordbrandenburgs zu genießen … sowie die Städte Berlin und Potsdam, deren Zentren von hier nur 30 Minuten entfernt sind. Wir leben auf einem 1.700 qm großen Grundstück in einem alten, schönen Haus aus den 30ern und fühlen uns in hier sehr wohl.
    Ich, Henrik, bin Handwerker, leidenschaftlicher Gärtner und Wildkräuter-Experte, Ligia ist Heilpraktikerin für Psychotherapie, heilpädagogische Tanztherapeutin und ehemalige Journalistin. Wir haben einen großen natürlichen Garten und bauen sehr viel Obst und Gemüse an; wir ernähren uns gesund und hauptsächlich vegan - es wäre toll, wenn du das auch tust.
    Wir lieben Tiere. Unsere Hündin Elly ist der liebste, wundervollste, liebenswerteste Hund der Welt und fast 18 Jahre alt bei uns geworden; wir vermissen sie sehr und sie ist bei uns in unseren Herzen.
    Momentan sind wir im Adoptionsprozess, um Roni, eine liebe Hündin aus Rumänien, zu adoptieren. Außerdem bauen wir einen alten Schuppen um. Dabei kannst du uns unterstützen. Handwerkliche Erfahrung ist ein super Vorteil, Bautalent ist wundervoll, zupackende hilfsbereite Hände ebenso. Du kannst gern alleine kommen oder als Paar (auch mit Kind), Platz in unserem schönen Zuhause und Garten ist da, ebenso auch immer etwas zu tun. Wir freuen uns, dich/euch kennenzulernen. Liebe Grüße,
    Henrik & Ligia

    Help

    Craft talent. A shed is built back and a tiny house is built in the same place. Help is needed to demolish and then rebuild. A certain physical resilience is important. These are simple activities that do not require any manual experience or training. Of course, people with manual experience are welcome. Enjoying these tasks is important. In the household it is about simple support with everyday activities such as cleaning/preparing meals. Even with light gardening such as plants, watering/watering, harvesting, etc.

    Handwerkliches Talent. Es wird ein Schuppen zurück gebaut und an derselben Stelle ein Tinyhouse errichtet. Es wird Hilfe beim Abriss benötigt und danach beim Wiederaufbau. Wichtig ist eine gewisse körperliche Belastbarkeit. Es sind einfache Tätigkeiten, für die keine handwerkliche Erfahrung/Ausbildung nötig ist. Natürlich sind Menschen mit handwerklicher Erfahrung willkommen. Freude an dieser Arbeit ist wichtig. Im Haushalt geht es um einfache Unterstützung bei alltäglichen Tätigkeiten wie Reinigung/Essensvorbereitung. Auch bei leichter Gartenarbeit wie Pflanzen, Gießen/Wässern, Ernten o.ä.
