Description
Hello...I'm Christine, retired (68) and living alone with my dogs in the center of a small town (Axel). It's in the south of the Netherlands (Zeeuwsvlaanderen), close to the belgian border (Antwerp, Gent ,Brugge) and not far from the beach .

Through a friend I ended up on this site and got excited. I am social and caring. I like to socialize and meet other people/cultures. In the meantime I've met very nice people, learned cultures and habits... Animals are very important for me, so you need to be an animal lover, and experience is a pre.
Type of help
Gardening
Building
General Maintenance
Help in the house
Animal care
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

Help
I have not always projects/work, but in spring I need somebody for gardening and house maintenance/cleaning. As I have 3 dogs (2 very large ones) in the house, you need to be a dog lover and have no fear of dogs. You need to be independent and self-supporting so now and then.
Languages spoken
english, french, german and a very little spanish

House with 2 extra bedrooms...large living and kitchen. Small garden. 2p bedroom and share the house with me.
What else ...
Visitors can go to the beach (Noordzee) , visit Antwerp or Gent (30 min by car) or Brugge (1 hr by car). There are a lot of very nice and quite areas around for walking and cycling..

Franziska is a very nice and quiet person. It was a last minute, but we had a good time and nice talk together.
Her stay was short, but one to remember!
Franziska...maybe we ever meet again! You know you're welcome!

Although the stay by Christine was very short, I had a fantastic time with her! You can talk with her about God and the world, she is a excellent cook and her house with the garden is amazing. I really enjoyed the walks with her dogs or beeing and playing with them in the garden. Christine is always ready to give you tips for your excursions or… read more

Mariko en Hayata are very hard workers, friendly & social and excellent cooks! I've learned about Japanese tradition and food and they learned about dutch food . For me it was a wonderful experience, which I wouldn't have missed.
Last day they prepared a wonderful sushi party for me and my family...We won't forget!

It is our pleasure to have met her and her dogs. She always taught me various things gently. And it was very nice to take a walk with the dogs in the beautiful trees. On the last day we had a party of sushi with her family. We will never forget that wonderful time.Dank u wel Christine.

Christine was the perfect workaway host. She cooks amazing food and provides comfortable living quarters. Her and her three dogs made our stay one to remember and she doesn't ask for much in return. Highly recommend her

Thank you Christine for everything! The stay was absolutely lovely. We were supposed to be there for a week but ended up staying three weeks! She is such a lovely young spirit and a great cook. And her dogs are so much fun as well :) We couldn't have asked for a better host. The city (village) is beautiful, everything within reach.
