  Descripción

  I lived many years abroad and used to live with younger people in communities. I studied History and 3-dimensional Design ( Product - design/ polytechnico before). Now, back in Germany I got 2 houses and gardens, which need renovation and maintenance.
  I like hiking, surfing, biking, dancing, travelling, nature adventures, reading, various kind of music, design and history and I am curios to learn more and make new experiences. Sometimes I do a charity stand to collect money for animal care organisations and animal shelters.
  
  I am host since 2017 and I always had a good experience with workaway/ers.
  
  NOTE: I AM CURRENTLY TRAVELLING AND HAVE NO FREQUENT INTERNET.

  Intercambio cultural y oportunidades de aprendizaje

  Its the village of "Little-Red- Ridinghood", the country of the German Fairy tales (written by Brothers Grimm). The next big city is Kassel, where the largest international art fair, the DOCUMENTA takes place. Kassel has various parcs ( parc Wilhelmshöhe is Unesco heritage) and a univercity. As well Kasssel offers various museúms and festivals.
  The same distance south is Marburg, one of the oldest German University Towns, with a lovely old town on the hill, where lots of students live.
  There are several supermarkets and one charitystore (clothes), some restaurants (italian,turkish, chinese, thai, german) close to the house.
  Due to my studies and living abroad ca. 20 years I can tell you lots about culture and history (...if you are interested;-)

  Ayuda

  I got two houses to take care of. One is a modern bungalow, which needs gardening.
  The other one is an 200 year old typical German Fachwerkhouse, which needs renovation and full gardening as it will be transformed into a biological garden/ eco project. Its about 16 km distance between both of them.
  
  There is various stuff to do and usually we talk about the tasks before. In general any task is a job, which I assume, can be done in 4 hours -due to my own experience. We will talk about it before, as I always try to hand out a work, which suits your skills. You should be able to work autonomous.
  
  Some of the work is in the old house ( usually in the afternoon) and some at the new house.
  
  Range of possible tasks: garden clearance, planting, cutting bushes, weaving a fence with branches, various constructions with palettes, painting walls/ garden hut/ chairs etc., repairing bycicles, sewing...
  
  In winter I plan a constuction of a carport at the old house: so first a big hole has to be made and then filled with stones ( which I collect whenever I work there, as the ground is very stony), finally gravel and fixed with a vibrating machine; as well in each corner a pole has to be set with cement.
  Another Project is to renew the paving of the terrace : the paving stones have to be taken out, a new underground with gravel made ( see above) and replace the stones.
  Indoors: a glued carpeted floor has to be taken out and a new floor with boards to be layed out.

  Alojamiento

  At the moment the accomodation is in the new house, where I have several rooms. You will have your own room and a shared bathroom. There are several supermarkets close by and a charity shop in my street. Usually I provide breakfast and dinner and during the day sandwishes or cookies (often homemade). In summer we eat. Just let me know in advance, if you do not eat certain food. Eating time is flexible.
  
  Sometimes there are more than one or two workaways here ( got 4 sleeping rooms+) so its also a place, where you may meet other workaways from all over the world. If you are a more introverted person, you are welcome, too. The house is huge and you have enough space to be by yourself and work by yourself.

  Algo más...

  The villages are in the center of Germany, all trains north-south stop here and stops of Flixbus are closeby. As my village is central, there are also options to get here by Blablacar. Some workaways took advantage of its central location to do short trips on their day-off to other places in Germany .
  I got several bicycles and there are many biketrails close to my new house and hiking trails close to the old house in the Kellerwald.
  
  There is also a a little airport for gliders close to the house, s.t. they take someone for free. There are lakes for swimming and rivers for SUP and canoeing around..... in summer :-)
