Description
Hi, I am a single mum with two teenage daughters. We live in a very beautiful countryside with lots of vineyards, forests, small villages and lakes. I work as a freelance writer from home and part-time at university. I usually have a big workload including our garden, maintaining our pretty little house, cooking, baking, laundry, sewing, repair jobs, community work etc.
There is always bread to bake, vegetarian meals to cook and harvest to preserve.
You can stay with us for one or two weeks and will be a part of our family. We speak English and a little French. My kids would be glad to practice their language skills! We love having workaway volunteers in our home, each one has contributed in some wonderful way to relieving my workload and to our family life.
Your experience with us should not be just work but an exchange of knowledge and culture. We are very happy to learn new things from you : recipes, songs, games, worldviews.
You will have your own room plus bathroom. Plus lots of English books, a piano, guitar, a craft room and wood workshop.
Our house is situated 20 minutes from Heilbronn, 1 1/2 hours from Frankfurt, 1 hour from Stuttgart and 2 hours from Nuremberg.
You will be working five days a week around 4-5 hours each day.
In particular you will have to ...
.....help around the garden (depending on the season: shoveling compost, cutting back plants, watering, weeding, harvesting, transplanting plants, etc).
....do household chores such as cleaning windows, dusting, mopping, etc.
....do home improvement tasks (painting, minor repair jobs)
....cook family meals and preserve when needed.
Expect good meals, time around the table, board games, hikes, little sightseeing tours. In return, I hope you will feel part of our little family.

Overall our time with Diana was a memorable one.
I enjoy all the time I spent in obersulm, I recommend this experience if you want to have a German culture exchange.
