Description
Hello, my name is Ruth, living in Germany, near the netherlands border (near Emmerich). We live on the area of a former farm - old house, big garden in a village. I live here with my old mother (82), my daughter is sometimes here and most times in another town to study (she did workaway this year and so I thought about being a host), sometimes other family members join us for a while. I‘m an architect. I like gardening, sometimes painting and sailing. I always like to learn new things and make new experiences.
