Description
Hello, my name is Andrea. I am 62 years old and live with my husband Hans in one half of the house. I would describe myself as creative, open-minded, spiritual and straightforward. I recently retired. My daughter Rafaela is 27 and lives in part of the second house with her two cats. There is plenty of space for you, and you will have your own bedroom and bathroom. You will have to share the kitchen and living room.
I look forward to hearing from you. -

Accommodation
The house is in a very quiet location, so you can relax well in your free time. Many Workawayers have already confirmed this to me. There is also a beautiful terrace in the garden that you can use. Recreational areas (forest) are right on your doorstep, yet there are good public transport links if you want to explore the city.
-
What else ...
A public bus that starts a few minutes from the house takes you to downtown Vienna in 30 minutes. The underground can be reached in 15 minutes on foot and also takes you to various culturally interesting places. There are countless sights, parks and museums to discover in Vienna. There are famous shopping streets as well as theater and concert offerings.

I stayed with Andrea in August for three weeks and felt very serene and peaceful at her place. My main tasks were gardening, watering, weeding, and a little bit of house cleaning towards the end.
I had my own private space to stay, which gave me both comfort and privacy—sometimes that’s all we really need.

Nasrin stayed with us for about three weeks, and it was so nice to have her here. She is very calm and radiates a great sense of peace. Nasrin did a lot of gardening, was thorough and worked at a brisk pace. She also watered the garden while we were on holiday. She was also very helpful and meticulous when cleaning the house.

Evelyn and Sam were my guests for 10 days. They were always friendly, tidy, attentive and enjoyed working in my garden. I soon realised that they had a lot of experience in gardening, even small trees were felled and cut up and everything looked professional. In their free time, they explored Vienna with just as much joy and energy. I can only

Finn was with us for a fortnight. He is a friendly young man and has a good manner. He still has a lot to learn to be a helpful workawayer. I had to buy and explain all the work several times. Many things remained half done until the end. He also had little motivation to do anything. When asked about it, however, he made an effort to improve it.

I also did some other small tasks which were easy, and besides that I built a small fence for Andrea's lovely cat, so that she can safely enjoy some outdoors time. Our

We had a very fine time with Lothar. He was a pleasant, extremely considerate and uncomplicated flatmate. He did his work very conscientiously and accurately. He put a lot of thought into things and also contributed his own ideas. He was a great help to us. We also had very good conversations with him. I can only recommend him highly.

I spent a month at Andrea's house helping with the garden, building things with wood and also putting some lamps and mirrors. It was an incredible time because Andrea is a easy going person and very flexible with work and with time. She gave me a room in one of her two houses, she also provided me with all the food and recommended places to visit.

Letizia was with me in Vienna for barely a week and during this time she helped me wonderfully in many areas. She did chores in the garden with perseverance and was also a great help around the house. Structuring my chaotic basement went very quickly with her and was fun. Her calm and considerate manner made her a pleasant roommate.

I wish her the very best in her future journey through life.
