Description
I like to work outside or move in the nature.
We are living off-grid and try to recycle materials. Gardening and self-sufficiency are our main purposes. We cultivate our own vegetables and own a lot of fruit trees.
We are still working regularly but retirement is on its way and therefore we want to check if we will be able to live in another country. We want to do short periods of helping somewhere on a farm or restoring projects.
My husband is an agricultural engineer but is working as an organic shop owner. He has a lot of experience in farming and all the upcoming works there.

When I was younger I travelled some months by bike and visited a lot of Asian countries. Today I also travel mainly by bike but I have to be content with an annual vacation.

More details about your skills
We are living off-grid in Germany for 11 years now. That means we use rain water and solar energy for our daily life. We work constantly on improvements and like to get new ideas. We know how to use energy conciously and how to create solutions.
Our handcraft skills are not perfect but we know how to use tools and how to bring the lights to shine. We have a lot of experience in gardening.
We like to experiment with all the harvest from the garden into new recipes.

We had a good time with Karin and Roger with a good exchange of knowledge by a good glass of wine. We managed to do a good load of work in this week even the weather wasn't always with us. Hope to see you again sometime in the future. Thank you and all the best.

What a luxurious stay for work-awayer! We stayed one week in beautiful Berzi, got this nice appartment to stay (luckily, because the weather was not so great!) and were treated like holiday-guests with full-board! The food was delicious, high quality and all perfectly organised. Anja and Markus are well-organised and never forgot the breaks. We… read more

We came as helpers and left as friends! We stayed with Max for almost a week and we had a wonderful time. We were impressed what Max has created in the middle of nowhere for the last two years. He shared all the knowledge, his food, his house and his friends with us. We had a lot of varied tasks to do, it was never boring. Max shows a lot of… read more
