Description
GREEN WILDERNESS NEAR GRAZ
Hi, I live in an old house with a great garden and 2 cute cats. I'm an artist and restorer.
Because of work I am not always here and I could use some help with lawnmower, feeding and cuddling cats, watering plants, cleaning gutters,..
When I'm here i can show you around in graz or have tips for you what to see. The city has a quite vibrant cultural life and a beautiful old town.
The old wooden house and garden are cosy and has a nice view to the Alps. It feels like you are deep in the country, but it's just 30min by public bus away from the center of graz.
It's OK to not have fix helping times, like 3 times a week for 2-3 hours or just 1 day of a good helping session.
About food you should be able to take care for yourself. I like to share but please bring your own budget for your needs. There is usually some fresh salads or veggies in the garden, fruit trees... I would be happy someone likes conserving, making marmelades, collecting nuts....
The room you can use is cute and historic with a entry to a great Wintergarten. Of course it will be clean and prepared nicely. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Graz is a cute city with a lot of cultural Programm. I'm artist myself and so you might meet some of my beautiful artistic friends :)
We can go to concerts, exhibitions or just hang out in the great park in the center. I can give you some tips and you will meet some locals -
Help
To manage about 5000m2 of lawnmoving is a challenge. Someone who likes gardening, wood work and likes the charm and works in an old house.
I don't expect someone hard working but it would be great to find someone handy, relaxed and attentive.
If we agree I want to invite you for a week of trial. If we feel good let's see how long it's cool for both sides. -

Accommodation
The house is build 1914 with some later adaption. It's old school and it's got character. There is a little room I call the workaway museum. It's original with wooden interior of 1914 and I guess it was for the farmhelper. A Wintergarten in front of it can be used too.
I can only offer a room with furniture, shared kitchen and bath but you need to feed yourself.
I enjoy most if there is a good balance between giving and taking and easy sharing and caring
I cannot provide all your food. But I also don't expect someone to work hard. So please just write me, when you have your budget for your personal needs. About 8 hours of help per week for a free room in a shared house or when I'm gone it would be more housesitting and taking care of cats and plants. -

Space for parking camper vans
It's not the best spot for camping long time. But for up to 1 month its possible to stand on the grass next to a shadowing tree. Toilet, shower and kitchen can be used in the house

Can possibly accept pets
I have 2 cutest cats who enjoy life without much stress. Dogs who don't go crazy on cats are ok.
