Description
Hello, we are a friendly and funny family of 4. Georg, 51 and Ute, 47, Bela, 18 years and Freda, 11 years.
Georg and Ute are both social workers. Bela and Freda still go to school. Our cat Chili also belongs to the family.
Georg and Bela are musicians and there are all kinds of instruments in our house (guitars, piano, drums,...). Ute and Freda love to bake and read.
We have a small half-timbered house which we are renovating ourselves. It also has an overgrown garden, which unfortunately sometimes gets a bit out of hand and we would be very happy to have help with it. In our garden we have a small fire place and we love to sit beside the fire.
There are also a lot of projects to be done on the house. Depending on your preferences and talents, we would be very happy to have you help with plastering or painting, for example.
You would sleep in our cosy Eriba caravan, which has two comfortable beds, a fridge and electricity. The caravan is parked in our yard directly in front of the front door. Toilet and bathroom are in the house. Of course you are welcome to come in your own camper or pitch a tent in the garden.
We have a small church directly opposite, which is important to know because of the bell ringing.
Our fridge is always well stocked, we live vegetarian at home. In the evenings we eat together whenever possible, and it's usually lively and fun. If you like to cook, you are invited to to it for all or together with us.
There is a train station in our village where the train stops for Darmstadt and Aschaffenburg (25 minutes each), two nice medium-sized towns. Also not far away are Frankfurt (about 40 min.) and Heidelberg (45 min.). There are many fields and forests around our village. In the neighbouring Odenwald or Spessart you can hike or cycle wonderfully.
There is a small cultural association in the village where we are part of. There are always interesting exhibitions and concerts to which you are cordially invited.
We would be happy if you shared our everyday life with us and would be happy to help you find activities, but we assume that it is okay for you to go out on your own.
We all could talk English very well, Bela talks French also
Hallo, wir sind eine sympathische und lustige 4köpfige Familie. Georg, 51 und Ute, 47, Bela, 18 Jahre und Freda, 11 Jahre.
Georg und Ute sind beide Sozialpägdagogen. Bela und Freda gehen noch zur Schule. Zur Familie gehört noch unsere Katze Chili.
Georg und Bela sind Musiker und in unserem Haus gibt es alle möglichen Instrumente (Gitarren, Klavier, Schlagzeug,...). Ute und Freda lieben es zu backen und zu lesen.
Wir haben ein kleines Fachwerkhaus, das wir selbst sanieren. Dazu gehört ein verwilderter Garten, der uns leider manchmal ein bisschen über den Kopf wächst und bei dem wir uns über Hilfe sehr freuen würden.
Am Haus gibt es auch noch einiges zu tun. Je nach Vorlieben und Talenten würden wir uns zum Beispiel über Hilfe beim Verputzen oder Streichen sehr freuen.
Schlafen würdest du in unserem gemütlichen Eriba Wohnwagen, der über zwei bequeme Betten, Kühlschrank und Stromanschluss verfügt. Der Wohnwagen steht in unserem Hof direkt vor der Haustür. Toilette und Bad gibt es im Haus. Gerne kannst du natürlich auch im eigenen Camper anreisen oder ein Zelt im Garten aufbauen.
Wir haben direkt gegenüber eine kleine Kirche, das ist wichtig zu wissen wegen dem Glockenläuten.
Unser Kühlschrank ist immer gut gefüllt, wir leben zuhause vegetarisch. Abends essen wir nach Möglichkeit zusammen, dabei geht es meistens lebhaft und lustig zu.
In unserer Ortschaft gibt es einen Bahnhof, an dem der Zug nach Darmstadt und Aschaffenburg (je 25 Min.) hält, zwei schöne mittelgroße Städte. Ebenfalls nicht weit entfernt sind Frankfurt (ca. 40 Min.) und Heidelberg (45 Min.). Um unseren Ort gibt es viele Felder und Wald. Im angrenzenden Odenwald oder Spessart kann man wunderbar wandern oder radfahren.
Im Ort gibt es einen kleinen Kulturverein, bei dem wir mitarbeiten. Dort gibt es immer mal interessante Ausstellungen und Konzerte zu denen du herzlich eingeladen bist.
Wir freuen uns wenn du unseren Alltag mit uns teilst und helfen dir gerne dabei, dir Unternehmungen zu suchen, gehen aber davon aus, dass es okay für dich ist, wenn du alleine losziehst.
Wir sprechen alle ziemlich gut Englisch, Bela spricht auch Französisch.
