In our home, we live together with our family, two friends, one cat, and two chickens.
Families and groups of friends are also very welcome.

Both of us work full-time and have busy schedules, so please feel free to enjoy your free time.

She taught me so much about happiness.
I'm not very good at English, but she spoke in a way that was easy to understand, and the words she chose were always kind and uplifting.
She taught me how to cook German food and even made a guestbook for my home!
I'm so glad I had the chance to spend time with her.
