    Description

    Hey!
    We are Geniia and Alex we are living in a community of 4 people (Evgeniia 26 , Alex 31, Hanna 26 and Eduard 26) in an old house, which we are renovating step by step :)
    We have a small garden, an outdoor sauna, a hot tub , a small workshop. it’s located in the north of Bavaria which is called the „Franconian Switzerland“. We are surrounded by beautiful nature. A rocky area (perfect for climbing) with a lot of forest, caves (I can give you some tours;)) small cold river (15 minutes). We are also just 15 minutes away from the most beautiful city of the world: Bamberg.
    We are living very rural and simple. We are living the upcycling mentality and try to do everything with our own hands. That means we are just heating with wood, are going for dumpster diving and second hand markets usw.

    I am very interested in different cultures and different communities. We are trying to break out of the hamster wheel and find our own way in the system. Freedom has a high value to me. That’s why we are also travelling regularly through the world:) I am looking forward to listen to your story and to share experiences and thoughts:) let’s connect and create something together !

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are living in the area with a huge traditional
    beer culture ( about 300 breweries in our area) and I am a previous brewer and product developer for alcoholic beverages. So I can tell you a lot of facts about history and process of brewing beer including tastings 😄 next to this I am an Outdoorguide who goes to caves and makes paddle tours with people, so I can tell you where to go or even make a tour with you together.

    I like to philosophize and to get inspired by different views to political and spiritual topics :)
    I am interested in open minded people which are also interested to go in exchange.

    Help

    I would need some help in renovating the windows of my house. Sanding and painting them . There is also still painting and plastering to do ..Previous knowledge is not necessarily required. A little manual skill is definitely enough to be a good help. Tasks will not be done every day (4-5 days) and if it is done, then for 4-5 hours max.
