Description
I am a landscape architect with offices in Berlin and Munich. Recently, I spend more of my time in my late mother's house where I grew up, trying to bring it back in shape. The location is great for travelers interested in the area of and around Dresden.
You'll find here a large wilderness garden, permaculture veggies and three adorable cats.
Types of help and learning opportunities

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The house is located near Dresden (20 min drive) and many other architectural and natural highlights. So there is a lot of culture nearby, although once you are there, it is only nature.
Help
Cat sitters:
The cats want you to cuddle them and have them spend the night in your bed!
They are free roaming, will sleep most of the time and require 2 meals a day.
I also need helpers for renovation works:
- stucco, plaster, whitewashing
- paint windows
- roofing
- furniture building
etc.

Accommodation
The house has been built in 1936 and most amenities are original. That means wood stoves, compost toilet and a very basic shower. In summer we usually cook outside in the garden.
It is a pretty lone house in the woods - there is one permanent neighbour left and right, around 3 holiday homes further in the woods and an old watermill across the street. Behind the house are woods, in front meadows, and there is a small pond nearby.
There is a separate room for guests, everything else is shared.
You would be preparing your own food - I can join you for shopping or provide deliveries - as I will be away a lot
What else ...
A car would be best to get around. Other than that there are some busses, but you will need time for that.
