    =============
    I want to travel to Latin America, but it’s postponed probably to autumn 2024.
    No long term housing in winter, see below. For the moment I can only take in massage or Feldenkrais therapists.
    =============

    Hi, I'm Regine, living in Germering, a small town just outside Munich. I live in my flat in a house for two families, there‘s a garden and therefore from spring to autumn a lot of work to do in and around the house. Sorry, no long time hosting in winter, (except you are a massage or Feldenkrais therapist or something similar 😇) as there’s not much to do and the guest room has some big plants in it, it kind of serves as a greenhouse.

    Please note: In the moment I’m not sure if I’m available as a host because I can’t plan ahead because of my mother’s health. So please send me only short term request, that means like only three weeks ahead.
    I prefer to host people who are interested in spirituality and healthy living.
    Don’t bother to send me copy and paste requests, if you don’t even want to put in the energy to tell me why you want to come to MY place, why should I accept you?

    I definitely love to receive a massage or Feldenkrais treatment, I also love to exchange energy healing treatments if it feels aligned.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Germering is very near to Munich, just 20 minutes on the suburban train to go to the center of Munich, and there are beautiful lakes in the area and the Alps, on a day off you could go for a hike there. So you could do a lot of sightseeing and outdoor activities. And I would also love to do a language exchange, German for Spanish, Greek, French, and start learning Farsi or Arabic.

    I'm a (mostly retired) pharmacist and very much into holistic medicine, homoeopathic remedies, Bach Flowers, I made a lot of plant essences. And I'm giving energetic healing sessions. So if you're interested in this area or in spirituality, like meditations or the Mayan Calendar, we could also exchange our wisdom in this field.

    As there's always a lot of things to do around the house and especially in the garden I'm looking for help. It would also be great to have someone who helps cooking. And please note than I'm a vegetarian (with occasional exceptions when I feel my body needs meat), preferably I even eat vegan.
    We had construction work done on the outside of the house and there are still some things that have to be tidied up. And there's always some work to do in the garden, like mowing the lawn, watering and planting or helping to cut twigs off the trees.
    I would also appreciate help with adjusting the colours of my recently digitalized color slides, they unfortunately lost colour during this process, and creating a photo book.
    But above all I love to get to know people, especially spiritual people and exchange ideas.

    Si solo hablas español, no sería un problema, hablo español también y siempre me gusta conversar en español. Si tienes problemas a entender lo que he escrito en inglés, pregúntame. Necesito ayuda en el jardín y para ordenar las cosas después de las obras afuera de la casa. También sería bien si sabes cocinar bien, pero soy vegetariana!
    Si tu parle seulement, de sera bon aussi ! J'ai besoin d'aide au jardin, à ranger les chose après les travaux de construction dehors de la maison et a cuisinier. Mais je suis végétarienne.
    Μιλάω και ελληνικά, αλλά όχι τόσο καλά.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    I have a guest room with a mattress on the floor. This would be your private room. There will be breakfast (if you don't want to leave too early) and at least one more meal included, but you might have to help to prepare it.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I think about three or four hours a day of help would be enough, the rest of the day you would be free. And we can always talk about it when you want days off to go to Neuschwanstein or the Alps or somewhere else where you need a whole day.
    My house is about 7 minutes walk away from Harthaus, a station of Munich public transportation, there goes a train to Munich center every twenty minutes, you'll reach Munich central station in twenty minutes from here. And Harthaus still belongs to the inner district of Munich public transport (zone M).
    I already hosted a lot of couchsurfers here and they really loved my place, the garden is a little paradise, but a natural, not a very cultivated one. I got a lot of great references on Couchsurfing, if you want to have a look.
    I live my life quietly, so it's not a party place! But I love to have new people here and cultural exchange.
    And, please note, no smoking inside the house!
    Lately I got some difficulties with my Wi-Fi, so I can’t host digital nomads as my Wi-Fi is not stable.
