  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are passionate about food. We can teach the volunteers about kombucha, sourdough bread and other types of fermentations. We also make wine ourselves, which we will certainly taste together.
  You can take lovely walks here, and on the weekends we frequently visit the local market.
  
  As volunteers ourselves, we spent a year traveling the world. Being involved in projects at different locations was always a very unique experience. Having previously volunteered, we are aware of the needs and will make every effort to provide a fantastic experience.
  
  We look forward to getting to know new people in this way and inspiring each other.

  Help

  - Babysitting and creative play
  
  We need someone who can take care for Otto (1,5 years old. Otto is a very pleasant, playfull kid, who gives you a lot of love. We have a large garden where you can play. He takes a nap of about an hour in the buggy. You can take a short walk, and then he falls a sleep.
  During the culinairy retraits that we organize (two weeks during your stay), you cook something for yourself and the children for when they get back from school.
  Helping hours are from 9h until 15h00, or sometimes untill 14h.
  
  - Pet sitting
  
  From 22th december until 31th december we are looking for someone or a couple who wants to sit our house and dog. Our dog is a very sweet and kind golden retriever. He is very calm and only needs one walk a day.
  
  - House sitting
  
  In the summer 2027 (end of june to middle of august) we are looking for someone or a couple who is coming to live in our house. We have a winery and garden that needs to get watered. We have a drip irrigation system, so it’s just a matter of turning on the taps and checking that everything is getting enough water. We also have a small vegetable garden that needs to be maintained and harvested.

  Accommodation

  We have a small guest house with all the necessary amenities.
  double bed, bathroom and kitchen.
  
  We provide 3 fresh meals per day:
  We provide everything for breakfast in the guesthouse: sourdough bread, fruit, granola... We prefer to keep breakfast separate because we follow the rhythm of the family.
  
  We usually have a hot lunch togheter; since we organize culinary trips, these are always very tasty with plenty of fresh vegetables. We can certainly accommodate vegetarian requests.
  
  We also have dinner separately with the family to unwind together after a busy day. We provide delicious cheeses, charcuterie, and tasty sourdough bread, which the volunteer can enjoy in the cozy guesthouse.

• 

  What else ...

  In their free time, volunteers can enjoy nature and go for walks in the neighborhood. Go into our sauna, swim in the pool, or go to the charming village.
  We can take the volunteers to the market or take them to the nearest authentic towns.
