    Description

    Hello!
    We are Johanna and Johannes. With our 3 kids (aged 10 years, 7 years and 3 years) we live in a small house in the little village Waidhofen/Ybbs in Austria.

    We are looking for help working around the House and in the garden, playing and learning with our children and do diffrent projects together.

    We use our land around the House to grow our own food as much as possible. We are also very interested in permaculture. So garden-lovers are very much welcome :)
    Learning by doing, learnig together and learning from each other is very important for us and our kids.

    We are looking forward to cultural exchange, working together, learning English (or other languages) and having fun together.

    Our hometown is located in the Pre-Alps-Region and provides beautiful scenic views and many hiking trails all around. Also there is a nice river flowing through the town, where you can take a swim. The small town (12000 inhabitants) has an old historical background and a pretty-looking town center. There's an old castle and lots of towers to visit, it's also called the "Town of Towers" :)

    Waidhofen/Ybbs is located between Vienna and Linz.
    Public transport is easily available, there are regular bus and train connections:
    - 1 1/2 hour to Vienna
    - 1 hour to Linz
    - 2 hours to Salzburg
