    Description

    Hello dear Workawayer, we live in a small village in Mecklenburg, in northern Germany. 70 km from the Baltic Sea. Our village is truly small, idyllic, and located directly on a lake. We both work in art and crafts and need a helping hand on our farms. If you love the peace and quiet of nature, you'll feel very comfortable here.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are both artists and craftspeople, and there's always something interesting and inspiring about us. As a painter, I work a lot in my studio and give workshops in the house. As a basket weaver, I work in my studio, growing and harvesting willows myself. Then I weave the most beautiful things. We are two very open people and have adult children.
    Wir beide sind Künstler und Handwerker, es ist immer sehr interessant und inspirierend um uns herum.
    Als Malerin arbeite ich viel in meinem Atelier und gibe Workshops im Haus. Als Korbflechter arbeite ich in meinem Studie, baue Weiden selber an und ernte sie. Dann flechte ich die schönsten Dinge.
    Wir sind zwei sehr offene Menschen und haben erwachsene Kinder.

    We welcome helping hands on the property; there's always something to do, whether in the garden or in the house. Our house is very large, and so is the property. We have sheep and chickens, two dogs, and two cats. Ralf harvests his own pastures, so there's a lot to do, and we appreciate any help. We're happy to pay pocket money.
