  Description

  We are a couple in our mid-thirties living in Switzerland, and we would love to welcome workawayers into our home for a few days.
  
  We enjoy meeting people from different countries, exchanging stories, sharing meals, and learning about different cultures. We see this as an opportunity to connect with fellow travellers and offer someone a comfortable place to stay while they explore Switzerland.
  
  We enjoy a relaxed home environment and appreciate people who are considerate, independent, and happy to share everyday life with others.
  
  We are based in the Lucerne area, which is a great starting point for exploring the city, the lake, and the surrounding mountains.

  Help

  We appreciate a little help with everyday household activities, especially in the kitchen. This might include simple things like cutting vegetables for a salad, cooking rice or pasta, or preparing a basic sauce. We usually keep meals simple, so there is no need to be an experienced cook.
  
  One of the main things we appreciate is help cleaning up after meals, such as loading and unloading the dishwasher carefully, putting things away, and keeping the kitchen tidy. Occasionally, we might also need a hand with general tidying, sorting recycling, or picking up a few groceries.
  
  We are flexible and happy to keep things simple. Sometimes we can do things together, while other times you might help independently. We appreciate someone who is considerate, takes initiative with everyday tasks, and enjoys sharing a home with others.

  Public transport is easily accessible, with a bus stop about a five-minute walk away. There are also rental city bikes available through an app, which is a convenient way to explore Lucerne.
  
  We are non-smokers, so smoking is not permitted inside the apartment. We appreciate a quiet and respectful home environment, especially during the evening and at night, and ask everyone to be considerate about noise.
  
  We value cleanliness, mutual respect, and good communication. Since we share our home, we also ask that guests check with us before inviting other people over. Other than that, we hope you will feel comfortable and at home during your stay.
