    Description

    Dear workawayers and travellers,

    I live in a beautiful old house very close to the fascinating city of Vienna. You will enjoy hiking on a hillside 5 minutes on foot from my home, but also reach Vienna via a 5 minutes train ride from the very nearby train station (in 15 minutes you'll be at Praterstern and can explore the "Riesenrad". ;) ) . In summer you can can go swimming in "Neue Donau" on Donauinsel or in a small lake nearby. Donauinsel is also great for biking! You can go to the city that way, if you're up to it - it takes about 40 minutes to the city center on good bikeways almost exclusively next to one or the other stream (I'll provide bikes ).

    You will have your own room with hardwood floor and a view into my wild garden to yourself. If you want to go out, there are great restaurants in walking distance (Austrian, Greek, Chinese, pizza & kebap, a bakery, a supermarket, .......).

    I currently need help with the household, sorting and boxing stuff, and basic renovation. Language practise would always be welcome, too. :) I can help you with German and English, and am especially (but not only ;) ) interested in practising Spanish.
    I can tell you about Austrian culture, cuisine, which sights in Vienna are a "must-go-to", which places in the surrounding area are worth seeing (there's an amazing old castle, a ferry, a famous "stift", wineries, ........).

    Some of my personal interests: yoga, cooking, herbs, wild plants, foreign cultures and people, .........

    Looking forward to having you here! 🌻

    Love,
    Sahja

    PS: @review: There is hot water for showering and wifi.
    PPS: i ask for about 2-3h/d, offer a private room in my home and 1 (to sometimes 2) meal(s) :)
