Description
Hi, we are a young family with mixed cultural background. I was born in Poland, grew up in Germany and lived in different countries. My husband was born in Peru but grew up in Australia. He also has one granddad form Africa and one granddad from China so we ended up with three beautiful boys who look like little spicy mixed bags. Plus a dog who comes from Italy.
Karlos and I work from home. We speak English and German mostly. We are fun, easy going, happy, social and very interested in meeting new people from different cultures.
Work, household and kids gets a lot sometimes and so we would love for the person, who stays with us, to help out. That would mean some cooking, some cleaning, some playing with the kids basically. Sometimes I would love for a wall or some furniture to be repainted. I feel like our house gets messy easily as we have a lot of things with the kids. I need to clean up and reorganize but finding time with no help is difficult. We are very excited for the kids to practice some English or maybe learn some Spanish.
Our house is close to Bonn, Cologne and the Siebengebirge. Tourists come here to experience the beautiful scenery at the river Rhein.Types of help and learning opportunities

When life is normal, we are very social and like to have fun. We love the nature and go for hikes in the forest or a bike ride, we meet friends or have people over for dinner.
We eat 95% vegan, but don't mind people eating other things.
We have had lots workawayers stay with us since 2014 and have been loving it. We met people from all around the world and really enjoyed learning about other cultures, having interesting conversations and eating traditional dishes from the workawayers country.
We are looking forward to meet you!Projects involving children
