  Description

  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 also weak mobile signal.
  
  I was traveling a lot and I like to welcome people from other countries but also from Germany.
  
  We invite you to our very old house in a village to help a little bit daily tasks and maybe play chess with my son.
  We can look for plants in wild nature and insects with nature books to know about the diversity of the environment.
  
  The main task is that we have a good time.
  
  The food is 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.
