What's this?

Details

Description
I live 50 kilometers from Bremen and nearly 30 kilometers to
Bremerhaven.
There is a train station 2 km .

I have 2 lovely dogs, 4 Icelandic horses,cats ,chicken and one old cheep.
So there is always something to do.

You should be waterproof and don't mind do get your hands dirty.

You should be able to work alone and not only 15 minutes before i come home.

You should be able to carry a whellbarrow and not be afraid for dead mouses....

Or you really like to cook and clean.

The work is cleaning the horses, bring in and out of the green field.
Help to clean the chicken and sheeps.
Walk with dogs, help in the house or outside it depends on the weather.
Painting the fence,gardening,brushing...helping with my 2 bnb rooms.

Myself I am very interestet to meet people from all over the world.
But I stay here with my dogs and horses.So I like it to have people here, from all over the world.

In Bremerhaven there are special museums about ships(Deutsches Schiffahrtsmuseum),to emigrate( Deutsches Auswandererhaus ), about climate(das Klimahaus)
a small zoo,so many things to see.

In Bremen there are a lot of museeums,music and art.
A nice old market place with rathaus and the big old church.
In Bremen there is also a small old town part without cars called Schnorr.

So come and have a look on the countryside from north-west Germany.

Greetings Meike

I stayed with Meike for about 10 days. It was a good time. Meike is very friendly and hospitable. The work is not very hard, so you have a lot of time to yourself here as well. Different kind of work: garden work, cleaning animal area, painting. The food is very good and enjoyed having lunch and dinner with Meike and Nik. The animals are friendly,… read more

I had lots of fun looking after the animals, going for walks in the beautiful countryside, riding, and spending time with Meike and Nikolas. The horses are also very friendly and well behaved.

I stayed with Meike for a few weeks and it was way to short! Meike is a great host and a wonderful person :) I enjoyed the work and the company. Litla and Tommy walks were such fun and working with the horses in the morning was always a great start of the day. I definitely recommend staying with Meike and her adorable animals!
Best wishes Signy
