  • Description

    Description

    We are an international (Polish/American, French/German) family living on the outskirts of Freiburg in the Black Forest. Our house lies in a lovely valley - we overlook the mountains on all sides and have a large meadow directly behind the house. It takes about 10 minutes to get to Freiburg city center with the car - about 25 minutes with the bus or bike.

    We would love to welcome you into our home!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Freiburg is a beautiful city with lots of activities for all times of the day or year. We also live in a sparsely populated area, surrounded by trees, meadows, and mountains - there are hiking and biking trails all around.

    Should you be looking to learn German, there are lots of language courses in Freiburg (we can also help you practice!).

    Accommodation

    We have a simple accommodation for you (a „Bauwagen“ next to our farmhouse where the kitchen and bathroom are located). We are only asking for 10-15 hours of help because we are providing only accommodation, not food. However, you are welcome to eat with us now and then, especially in the summertime when we are outside a lot.
