    Description

    Hi, we are a German couple - Sarah (36 years), Timo (45 years), our son David (9 years), and our three young cats. We moved to sunny Cyprus in 2018 and now live in a village called Pyrgos next to Limassol (there are different villages with the same name - ours is East of Limassol). We like to be outside and David and Sarah are really into skateboarding, so we're spending many hours per week at the skatepark :)

    We run a beautiful office space in beautiful nature directly by the sea (between Limassol and Larnaca) and go here at least once per week. We'd like to invite you to also join us there and play in the garden with David or explore the surroundings.

    Please note: We live in a village and there's not a great bus connection anywhere. We have a kiosk, grocery shop, and one tiny coffee shop within walking distance but we're not in Limassol City and we're also not within walking distance to the sea (even if it looks close on Google Maps). This is the ideal place if you like to stay at home and recharge! (You're welcome to join us in our activities of course)

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We hosted quite a lot of people back in Germany (we were really active in Couchsurfing but then changed to long-term visits) and also already here in Cyprus, so we have a lot of stories to share.
    We're also happy to take you with us when we go somewhere, so you can see the local Cypriot sites that tourists normally don't get to see.

    We're also very interested in any health or spiritual topics and can provide you with lots of essential oils :)

    We're mostly looking for someone who likes to do activities with our 9 year-old-son David. He's very active and likes playing in our jacuzzi, skateboarding, playing soccer, he also likes music and board games .... He speaks German and English - both fluently.

    We both work and are looking for someone to entertain him for 4-5 hours per day so that we can get some work done and he learns from someone else and experiences new cultures.

    We also really appreciate if you like cooking and baking and would like to prepare some meals for us :)

    We currently have three young cats, so at times our house is a bit of a "cat madhouse". You should like cats and don't mind helping clean up after them from time to time.

    IMPORTANT: It would help if you're a morning person. We get up around 6:30 am in the morning and go to bed around 10 pm. Our whole daily schedule is very "early". Also, we love to watch the sunrise :)

    Accommodation

    You will sleep in an extra room. This is a room that also has a desk in it and I (Sarah) use it to work in it sometimes during the day. So while you're playing with David I might sit in "your" room. Of course, at any other time, we won't interrupt you in your room.

    Just note that we live a bit in the middle of nowhere. There is not much to reach by foot. You are of course welcome to join us when we go somewhere of course! Our place is ideal when you love nature and are happy to also spend some time by yourself (or with us of course). We also had one guest finishing a novel while staying with us :)
