    Description

    I am 65years man and live alone in a large house with many rooms. I have four grown up children that all live a long way away.There is ample space for independant living during your time here. The house stands alone in the country side between the world renowned Mossell valley and Rhine valley in Germany. Wine making country, trully amazing.
    I come from Wales UK. and lived in Germany for many years. I live alone and looking for some general help and company. Not set hours just a few when you like really and as long as you like although a time limit or not for staying here should be agreed on before your stay.
    Whats great here is there is an Airport Close by, Franfurt Hahn, a cheap Ryan Air Airport that one can fly all over Europe and beyond.
    All I need is a little help. I am not as strong as I used to be. I can offer room or rooms in exchange for some help around the house. I can also offer basic courses in English and German as well as showing you Germany at what I think is its best. That is to say Nature in Germany.
    My town or village is called Herschfeld.......field of deers....that says it all.
    Singles, couples families all are welcome here. I am lucky enough to have the spa e and room.

    Learn ....what it is like living in Germany. The culture, the people, the language.
    I am a nature lover and as this place is in a forrest not a town ideally you would be too. There are trails and walks every where. I live a quiet life and a reflective life.

    General light household help nothing specialised. Hours to suit. If you can offer special building skills great its a big house and garden but as far ar workaway is concerned its more keeping the place tidy and clean and as I am one I do not make much of a mess and anyway I clean up after myself. More to do with having somebody around but even that is not ridgid in its time. It all means this is a great opportunity to spend time in Germany getting to know the place and its people.
