****************************************
Hi guys,
I am Anja and I'm someone who enjoys connecting with people from different walks of life and backgrounds. If you're looking for a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, you're in the right place!
I’ve hosted several workawayers over the years and love exchanging stories, learning from others, and sharing experiences. I believe in creating a warm, respectful environment where we can all learn from each other.
My home is in the beautiful suburb of Terrigal (Central Coast) it's quiet, green leafy and still walking distance (about 15-20min) to lovely Terrigal beach and village.
Public transport is not too ready available and we do live on a steep hill so we prefer workawayers who have their own mode of transport.
Our home is a relaxing beach cottage with a cozy fireplace in the living room and a beautiful deck overlooking the trees. We live in a quiet and residential neighbourhood.
I am looking for 1 workawayer who is able to help me with a few tasks for one to two weeks in our house in Terrigal, Central Coast.
I enjoy working on various creative projects around the house and am passionate about home improvement and gardening. If you're into hands-on tasks or have any creative skills to share, you'll feel right at home!
You will need to be a **DOG LOVER** since we have a 4 year old Groodle and 3 days a week I run a doggy daycare business from our home. Please only apply if you are happy to share the kitchen and living space with a few furry friends (they do not have access to your room).
I can offer you a safe and beautiful home, someone who embraces new experiences with an open heart and mind.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am a blend of German/Spanish background but have lived in Australia for approx. 14 years (and two years in Lugano, Switzerland). I speak German, English, Spanish and Italian and I am more than happy to practice with you :-)
I love to dance salsa/bachata and I am taking several classes weekly. I am more than happy to take you to dance events if you are interested!
Help
Our ideal workawayer are people who are respectful and mature adults who can be independent and autonomous.
We are specifically looking for help running the house, and this encompasses everything from gardening, cleaning, DIY tasks, cooking meals and assisting with walking and taking care of our dog.
General maintenance could be moving the lane, remove weeds and leaves, lay new mulch, plant flowers, painting jobs, organize the workshop, tidying up etc.
Cleaning help would be general household task but also cleaning windows, cleaning the terrace etc.
We would like someone who would enjoy talking our dog for a walk or to the beach once a day for an hour.
We will offer food for breakfast, lunch and dinner but are not always around to cook so need people who are independent enough to cook for themselves and share the cooking/cleaning up when we are all together.
In exchange we expect approx. 20-25hrs of work during the week and are flexible with helping days.
