Description
My place is located a little bit outside of the center of Duisburg, in Wanheimerort, close to the metro station U79 and the supermarkets. I live in a nice apartment in a safe area and I am a teacher who loves to travel around the world, watch Rugby and spend some time with her dog.
Type of help
Cooking / shopping
Other
Help in the house
Animal care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I have traveled a lot around the world over the past years and lived at three different continents. If you want to travel the world, I am happy to share my knowledge but I would also like to hear your travel stories. If you don't know any German I might also teach you some German words and phrases that will make your life easier and I am excited about learning more about your country, culture and language.
Help
I am always looking for someone who gives me a helping hand in my house (cleaning, washing,...) and takes care of my dog when I am at school. That means walking the dog (twice a day), feeding her and sometimes I might send you to the supermarket to buy some stuff (short walk).
Languages spoken
German, English, Spanish
Accommodation
It is a small apartment with three rooms. It is a kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living room with a work station. There is free Internet and you will sleep in a small privacy space with a sleeping sofa and a shared bathroom. In the winter the apartment is heated.
What else ...
There are quite a lot of things to do around Duisburg and Dusseldorf area. The metro U79 runs between both cities, so you can either visit Duisburg or Dusseldorf. There are a lot of museums, zoos,...

It was out first workaway experience and we were really happy to come to Bianca! We stayed at Bianca's place for one week. Bianca is an incredibly nice person, she is kind and understanding. We felt like at home at her place. Our duty was to take care of Angelina. We walked her 3 times per day. This allowed us not only to spend time with Angelina… read more

Fiona and Erik stayed for about a week at my place and I have to say that I am really thankful. It was final exam week and we had just too much to do at work. So it was nice to know that they were there taking care of Angelina and taking her for nice, long walks. We did not have much time to talk, but they seem to be communicative, easy-going,… read more

I stayed at Bianca's place for one week and enjoyed this experience very much. It was perfect place to relax, because I didn't have lots of duties, and still I love dogs, taking care of Angelina was not difficult at all, she is adorable and well-behaved.

Mayra stayed for about a week at my place and when she came, she did not have a leaving date. So I did not know if she would stay for a week, two or longer / shorter? She has her own opinion about workaway and why she does it and holds on to her ideal. That goes also along with the fact that she does not believe someone should be limited to by… read more

Usually food is included on workaway and since it says on her profile that cooking is part of a workawayers job, I assumed it would be included in this case as well - my bad for assuming without asking... But when I arrived there was no food at all, and when I talked to her about what she wants me to do, I offered to get groceries. In the end she… read more

When Alejandro arrived I had already left to Bali, but during his stay at my place he took great care of Angelina. Every time he had a question, he texted me a short message.

Hi!
My stay in Bianca's home was my first workaway experience. I spent there one week and all I can say is good, unfortunately I didn't meet Bianca because she wasn't in Manila in that time but I kept contact with her during all my stay and she was very helpful and kind at any time.
Instead, I met Phillip which is taking care of the house, a… read more

I had a great time in Bianca's home! She's an awesome host and she has got a nice home just outside the city centre. Here you will also meet other travelers from all over the world! It's great to just hang out or go to the nearby mall or whatever you want to do. I also made a special friend, her dog Angelina. Everyone loves her! She's very nice… read more

Anders is very nice, friendly, proactive and thoughtful. He stayed for one week with me and Angelina: walked her every day, fed her and took care of her. He also went to the shop to get dog food, refilled the drinking water, helped around the house and interacted with other guests. One of the things I was really surprised by, was that he loves… read more

We had a great experience with our workaway in Manila.
