Description
We are a german-swedisch family with 4 children and a dog. 3 children are grown-ups and study in different german cities. Our youngest daughter will be 15 soon and is at home with us. We live in a house in the outskirts of Hamburg, in the country side. It is a wonderful place for people who enjoy country life and nature. A big forest allows wonderful walks with the dog. We are not isolated, though. It takes 30 minutes into town by car or by train. The latter leaves every 20 minutes, and Hamburg is a beautiful city to go and see.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Animal Care
Language practice
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Hamburg is a beautiful town everybody should see who comes to visit Germany. And Berlin is just two hours away, by train or by car. A lot of culture, and a lot of fun! All the old towns around the Baltic Sea,the "Hanse" -towns, are worth visiting, Lübeck, Wismar, Rostock, Stralsund, etc..... All within 2 hours drive and a nice idea for day trips.
Projects involving children
This project could involve children. For more information see our guidelines and tips here.
Help
We look forward to people visiting us who are willing to blend into family life and help or assist with anything that comes up. For instance walks with the dog, driving our daughter to her activitites and fetching her, practice languages with her, it would be wonderful if people from Sweden would pop by!
Some assistance in cooking would also be great, we are thankful for new ideas!
It would be ideal but not necessary if someone came who has their own car. A drivers' licence is compulsory, though...

Accommodation
A private room
What else ...
There are usually other volunteers around that you can meet up with. We live a quiet life that evolves around work and family. Would enjoy someone who knows how to blend in and be independant at the same time. You should be able to occupy yourself and we can try to find you little works around at other friends' places, if you need to earn money.
