Description
Hey there I am Holger living on an old Farm near Berlin,
I am as much self sufficient as I can means I have Solar Panels, heating with wood in winter, I repair the cars on my own, growing vegetables and fruits in the garden without any chemicals, I refurbish and restore the house inside and outside to make it stable again, its a three corner house- old farm from the 1800, I usually go in the forest to pick mushrooms and herbs to eat, have some fruit trees.
I am a traveler and want either to support other traveler to give them a roof over their head and I need some help for our gardening and construction work, I can teach everything what has to do with garden, animal, building and being self sufficient. I have a big fire space in our big garden, bicycles and lot more to offer.
