We live in a lovely village approx 40km east of Munich, where you also can take a bus, which takes you directly to the capital of Bavaria.
As there is not too much around we always can provide you a lift when we go somewhere.
Because we have a house and a lovely garden, we would be pleased when you can help around 4hours a day in exchange for food and lodging.
If you are interested in playing sports, we have a nice sports ground near by, where you can join soccer training or having a tennis match.

We are looking forward to meeting people who are interested in living with us for a wile, have ideas for our garden and enjoys staying with another family. Together it`s easier and makes much more fun.
We are interested in persons with different cultures and habits and share experiences, as we can show you our traditional Bavarian life.

Alex war bei uns zwei Wochen und ein sehr angenehmer Gast. Er erledigte alle Arbeiten im Garten und wir konnten alles winterfest machen. Er war an allem interessiert und kochte auch für uns. Er räumte auch immer unaufgefordert die Spülmaschine aus, was ich sehr schätzte. Wir wünschen ihm weiterhin alles Gute.
