Description
** Fully occupied until further notice. Check back in in early 2025 if interested! **
We're a couple living outside Zurich in a small house with a garden.
Please note that this is a homestay. We are selective about our workawayers, as you will share our home and daily life for the duration of your stay. Also for this reason, we aim to host workawayers for at most three weeks at a time.
Types of help and learning opportunities
Light gardening
Creative DIY projects
Help around the house
Light maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live in a location which is perfect both to reach the city of Zurich (museums, activities, cultural life), or the surrounding nature (forests, lakes, mountains). Daily life can involve language exchange (English, French, German), culinary exchange (cooking, baking, preserving, ...) - while we tend to cook quite an international range of dishes, we’ll be glad to prepare at least one typically Swiss dish during your stay, and would appreciate if you would also cook a traditional dish of your own.
Help
We would like help in the house and garden - digging, planting, DIY, watering, etc. The specific tasks will change depending on our needs and weather conditions.
On weekends, we enjoy working in the garden and will either work with you on tasks needing more manpower or will progress on our own tasks alongside you.
We will discuss upcoming projects with you during our introductory call.
Languages
Languages spoken
German: Fluent
English: Fluent
French: FluentThis host offers a language exchange
At home we usually speak French together. We switch to English when we have workawayers, but if you’re interested in a French language exchange, let us know. We're working on our Italian and Greek, respectively.
Accommodation
You will have a private room, with a double bed. The bathroom, kitchen and other common areas are shared but you'll be free to use them comfortably and respectfully. We can host two workawayers if you’re a couple staying in the same room.
What else ...
The city of Zurich boasts cultural opportunities, museums and a close proximity to nature. The house is well connected with public transport and Zurich is a good hub from which to explore the surrounding areas of Switzerland.

We do not have a separate office available, but once the furniture is moved in, you would be able to set yourself up in your room (with a small desk and lamp) or in the common areas of the house (living/dining room, terrace) with a laptop and are free to work remotely. We both work from home, so it’s important for us to know beforehand if you will be using internet a lot for video calls and so on.
