    Description

    I am 85 years young woman and I would like to offer free overnight accommodation to travelling people from all over the world via this platform.
    In return, I am happy to receive help in the house and garden and DIY projects.
    Sometimes I also have some guests on other flat on the house so that you also could interact with other traveling people.

    We’ll be renovating the house this summer 26. It mainly involves painting the house, the outbuildings and the fences. It might get a bit monotonous, but that’s just how it is. If this sounds like something you’d be interested in, we’d be happy to hear about you.
    What matters most to us is independence and reliability. I don’t want to have to ‘train’ young adults or constantly remind them that this isn’t not just about a cheap holiday. It should be a genuine give-and-take and learn more about each other.

    it would be fine if we could cook and eat together at least one meal a day, but not a must. Please no mobile phones at the table during the meals.
