    Accommodation

    The traveller will have a private sleeping room. Other rooms in the house will be shared with me, a senior. One livingroom can be used alone if wanted.

    My guests will have breakfast consisting of bread with spreads + coffee, tea, milk and juice. Or cereals with milk, yoghurt and fruit, or oatmeal. For lunch they will have slices of bread with spreads, and sometimes a hot lunch; e.g. soup or omelette.
    For dinner there is always hot food with meat or fish, vegetables and potatoes, rice or pasta. Workaways are welcome to cook and serve food from their own culture, if desired. We will of course eat together when it suits them.
