    Description

    Hello good people.

    we already found a workawayer, but we can host a second person. I think it would be better to have some more hands on deck!
    The date for coming is from the 20th July.
    Important to know is that it's a very simple place with cold water and without connection to public electricity, this means without electric light and weak mobile signal.
    It's summer and the days are lasting long, so we need no electric light.

    I was traveling a lot and I like to welcome people from other countries but also from Germany.

    In the summertime there will sometimes be members of our family but primarily me, Christiane.
    We invite you to our very old house in a village to help a little bit daily tasks and play chess with my son, for example.
    We can look for plants in wild nature and insects with nature books to know about the diversity of the environment.
    For some days I have to leave and this means you will be alone in the house.

    The main task is that we have a good summer with a lot of leisurely activities, by going to a lake or taking a bike, or just hanging around in the sun.

    The food is cooked by the host, tasty breakfast and a warm evening meal , always vegetarian.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    There is a great context about culture and history in the area. The frontier of the West Germany/ East Germany in it's historical places gives an idea for conversation.
    And we are living in a minimalist style. So maybe you like to make the experience or you are already living in the same way.
