Description
Hi! We are a family of four (Eva, Oscar, our son Dan (19), and our daughter Noa (21), who is currently doing Workaway herself) living with our two poodle (Preston and Byron) in a house about 15 minutes from the center of Fribourg, in the outskirts of Marly, Switzerland.
We are currently looking for someone to help us with our garden. The main tasks involve bringing it back into shape—mowing the lawn, trimming trees and bushes, and general upkeep.
We will show you what needs to be done, but you’ll have a lot of freedom in how you choose to carry out the tasks. We also warmly welcome new ideas and creativity when it comes to shaping and designing the garden. Your working hours will be quite flexible and can be adapted to what best suits your plans.
You will have your own room (we have one room available, which can also be shared if you are a couple or two friends), with a shared bathroom.
Oscar is a Chef- , and we would also be happy if you share your cooking from home.
In your free time, you can borrow a bicycle or take the bus to explore the area. There are several beautiful lakes at a short ride (we have a SUP you can use), as well as great hiking spots not far from our home. You can also visit nearby cities by train: Bern (about 25 min from Fribourg), Lausanne (about 50 min from Fribourg), and Murten (about 30 min from Fribourg).
We look forward to welcoming you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Living here offers a unique cultural exchange experience at the French–(Swiss)German speaking border, where everyday life naturally blends different languages and traditions. You can choose to shop for groceries or explore the area in either French or German, depending on your mood and curiosity. At home, we speak German, French, English, Spanish, Italian, and Catalan, creating an open and international atmosphere where communication is easy and language learning happens naturally through daily life and shared experiences.
Our daughter Nos is having the time of her live doing workaway in Asia. She encountered outstanding hosts and amazing workawayers. we are very much looking forward to offer the same opportunity to others. We'll be thrilled to welcome you home!
Help
We are looking for a (or two) friendly and motivated Workawayer to help in our garden and enjoy life close to nature. There is a lot of freedom to work independently, and we are happy to welcome your own ideas, creativity, and projects. Whether you enjoy planting, building, organizing, or simply spending time outdoors, we would love to share experiences, good conversations, and a relaxed atmosphere together.
