Description
Dear people,
We want to welcome you from 10/05-17/05 in 2026.
We had some beautiful exchanges in the past years and we want to continue with that.
We are waiting for 1-5 strong, reliable people.
We will be mainly outside in the garden.
We are Hanna and Jörg (both 50)
and we live on the countryside
in a former brickyard area (3ha)
15 km south from the Baltic Sea.
We live sustainable: solarenergy, wellwater, compostoilet, oven...
are a few things which make our living comfortable.
We are happy to grow food and share a simple way of living.
Jörg is a carpenter, he is into finding best ways to live sustainable.
He was breeding chicken in the past years and is happy with his dogs Dancer and Lexi.
Hanna is a body therapist and padagogue. She studied social work.
She is the gardener, the cook and happy with making fresh food.
Jörg has three daughters which are around from time to time.
We would love to meet people from all over the world (sorry, we are not in the position to help with visa )
who have a passion for being outside,
discovering plants and the way of natural living.
Feel welcome to ask questions,
Hanna & Jörg
