  Hallo,
  I am Line, me and my husband Paul live in a small village in the south of Germany about 1 hour away from Stuttgart. We live together with my parents, 2 two beautiful black horses,2 donkeys, 3 dogs and 8 chickens in our little “Farm “.
  Our village is surrounded by Vineyards

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You will get to know how it is to live in a south German Village. We will of course be showing you around and tell you about the history of the area my family has lived in there for many generations. While my husband’s family comes from the next town. I am a vegetarian chef so if ur interested I can teach some south German recipes or other recipes. You will get to know how we take care of the Animals our hoses for example are in an open stables system where they can move around as they wish.
  In the evening we normally like to all hang out around the pool or a fire or a nice dinner and talk about how our day was. Sometimes we watch movies together and of course you would be invited to all of that.

  Accommodation

  You would be staying in our Tiny house it sits right between our small Pool and our House. Since the stable is right next to the tiny house you will also get to know and especially hear our Donkeys and horses. The tiny house is mad out of wood and comes with its own little kitchen and bathroom with a composting toilet and a shower. Your also are free to use our House kitchen this is were the main meals would be.
  Of course ur free to use the pool and occasionally u can use the wood fire Sauna.
  
  Even though you will have your own little kitchen in the tiny house. We will have 1-2 meals together. I am a vegetarian chef so there will be lots of of vegetarian dishes however my husband is not so there will also be some meat a lot of the time we get it from the local market or form the shepherd in the next village.
  If you are vegetarian or vegan don’t worry the meat will be cooked separately it has its own pots and pans.
  My husband and I normally eat a late breakfast so more of a brunch and then a later dinner so this will be the times we can enjoy our meal all together. We will provide you with cereals oatmeal and some other breakfast essentials plus snacks in the tiny house. But our kitchen and dining room is very much a shared space so you can come in any time to make a snack or something fun. We can go shopping together or u can write a list so we can get things you like as well and maybe show you some German foods that you haven’t tried.

  What else ...

  Our village is right next to a big highway access so you can easily travel by care to many places, like castle and other historic sites. Stuttgart is only 1h away. And the closest city is only 20 minutes away. Our village also has a pretty good public transport service. Sadly we don’t have any stores one the village but the closest grocery stores are only 5 minutes drive.
  If needed were more then happy to lend you a bicycle.
