    Description

    My wife and me live on a hill next to a mid-sized city in East Germany. Our peaceful place is surrounded by nature, woods and fields. It's quite unique around here. We love to share, welcome people and treat them as family. Together we could make this place even better. And there is also our partner Sascha who owns the rest of the hill. It’s kind of a lifetime project and we love what we do – appreciating the progresses in fulfilling our visions. :-)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here you can experience warm hospitality, world wisdom, German and Chinese culture, languages, lessons for life, peacefulness, nature and fresh air. A good place to slow down, get some really good sleep and live positive. And if you are interested in a specific field I will be glad to support you. It’s all about clear, open and positive communication. We love all to have a good experience and can explain about cultural differences.

    Help

    There are plenty of things to do in and around the house, garden and wood where we really could need helping hands. Depending on the season there are always several different smaller and bigger projects to choose from and work on. Some need patience, others strength or smartness. It can be physically demanding and you might need some endurance and show spirit to get some things done. I personally enjoy what I do and will be glad to work together if I am free.

    What else ...

    We love to host guests and always did. Global life experiences and attitudes shape our thoughts and actions. Enjoy the nature around here, feel free to explore the city, state of Saxony and countryside or join us if you like. I can lend you a bicycle or give you a lift. Next bus stop is about 2 km downhill. We try to stay on the hill but will go weekly downtown for shopping and running errands.
