Description
Hi! I am Pieter, I live in Centurion. Centurion is located in between Johannesburg and Pretoria in the Gauteng Province of South Africa; I work in Johannesburg as an architect and I have 4 large crossbreed dogs and a cat that sleep in the house with me.
I have started learning German and I am looking for a person who can teach me, and practise German with. I live alone in a large 5-bedroom house with a big garden, and I would also need assistance with decluttering the house.
A fellow traveller suggested that I create a Workaway profile for people that can assist me to learn German, which seems like a very good idea, as I like meeting people from different cultures.

Accommodation
I have an excessively large room with an on-suite bathroom for you. Since this is mostly a language exchange and the tutoring will take only 1-2 hours per day, I do not provide food. I have a large kitchen with all the appliances where you can prepare meals for yourself. Alternatively, if you enjoy cooking you could cook for us, I will provide you with the money for groceries.
What else ...
Gauteng is the central economic hub off Southern Africa and in the area you would be able to satisfy almost any social need ranging from culture, museums, sports, outdoor activities, mini game reserves, etcetera. Dinokeng Big Five Game Reserve is an hour and a halve away and there are plenty of other interesting places that could be visited over the weekends like going hiking in the Drakensberg and so on.
