Description
Hi,
we are a family of three: Ina (46), Marc (44) and Rio (9).
We travel a lot and we are workawayers as well.
When we aren't traveling we live in our house with a large garden in the south of Germany.
Just behind our house there is forest and meadow but you can walk to our small citycenter within 20 minutes. The cities Stuttgart, Ulm and Tübingen can be reached within an hour or two.
We like to go hiking, go to the public swimming pool or a small lake, meet friends and explore the area.
Marc is a graphic designer for textile printing since many years. His hobby is to cook, he always has a list with new recepies to try. He is also interested in future technology.
Ina loves gardening and cares for many beds full of perennials and ornamental grasses, we also grow a tiny amount of berries. There are also some pets: 2 rabbits, quails, 1 indoor cat and sometimes foster dogs.
Ina is also interested in all kinds of handycrafts: knitting, pottery, basket weaving...
Rio is into soccer and that's his one and only at the moment. We would be happy, if he learns some English while playing with our volunteers.
For our workawayers we provide a private room, the bathroom is shared.
When it comes to food you can help yourself in our kitchen and use what ever you like from our pantry. As we are out from 8am - 2pm you need to prepare your breakfast and lunch by yourself. Usually Marc prepares a warm meal for dinner. If you like to cook dinner you are welcome to do so.
We are happy to show you around and do some outings together on the afternoons/ weekends.
We ask for 4 hours of help.
In our garden: mowing the lawn, hedge trimming (hard task), weeding, preparing the compost and so on. General maintenance/ cleaning the house can also be part of your tasks (especially in wintertime).
During the week you will be on your own from 8am til 2pm. That means it is important that you are self-driven, reliable and able to help without supervision. You can plan your day according to your preferences.

As they were workawayers themselves and met lots of people, they know how to make one feel comfortable and welcome at their home.

The 3 weeks Marie was with us flew by.
We worked in the garden as a well-coordinated team. Although the work was neither easy nor pleasant, she worked diligently. She is very neat, practical, always knows what needs to be done and how, without having to explain much.
She is always friendly and accommodating, a great roommate!… read more

Not only was I able to explore the old town district of Schwäbisch Gmünd, but they also included me in their family time in Freibad, and dinners with neighbors. If not for their hospitality, I would never imagine myself in a… read more
We enjoyed having her in our family. We had time to tinker, go for a walk or grab a coffee together because Sol always finished the chores by the time I returned from work.
We miss her!

Sol, you are always welcome… read more

She is a positive, friendly outgoing person with a big interest in cultural exchange. It was pleasant to have her in our home. Recommended!
The family does everything for workawayers to feel at home. I spent a week with them and couldn't have chosen a better place. They took me to know a lot of places around.
They are always concerned about my well being. Their son Rio is always with energy to play or paint, a very sweet and loving child.… read more
