Descripción
I have a few guests lined up for spring/summer.
There are short gaps in my calender, Workawayers are needed: June 12 to June 22 and July 7 till July 22,
then anytime after August 8 for a longer time.
... If any of these dates fit for you, you are welcome and more info will follow.

I am a nerdy, intellectual, conservative and humble person. In 2018 I had my right leg amputated due to diabetes, but my spirit is still great.

Born in Johannesburg, South Africa, moved to Germany in 1992. I was once a construction manager and once also a talented IT technician/advisor, but those professions both lead to "burn-out" ... now retired, in a wheelchair, live carefree and secure on early-pension, making hobbies my life and future. I wish to change the world through my online engagement and inventions to be patented or open-sourced. ... never stopped learning, also like to learn from others...and teach others what I can. I prefer to host guests that have similar interests to mine. I do not go to bars or clubs.... I'm religious, conservative, soft, romantic and self-taught in my many skills. I am a smoker, but the apartment is well ventilated. I sometimes drink but never get drunk!

My hobbies and interests; inventing, philosophy, astronomy, astrophysics, space travel, photography, Amazon-book- sales, home-cinema, classical music, ebay-shopping, formula-one racing, community work, plane-spotting, eco-villages, music & art, gardening, traveling, romance, cooking, religion, politics, humor...

There is a lot in Munich to explore and experience. Learn German or English here at home or in the streets or activities. Munich is a student city with many clubs and societies. I have traveled well in Bavaria and also 50+ countries, can share/compare experiences. I have been hosting travelers for 15+ years and I love interacting with people from around the world. See feedback, also from couchsurfers. I have had good experiences with hosting couples, also with toddlers/kids.
Ayuda
A bit of help needed, not really "work", but assistance, about 4 hours/day, 5 days per week, flexible. Please help where and how you can; light household chores, cleaning, improvements, cooking, shopping, chatting, events and visits to activities or parks. I clean my own mess. Guests should help voluntary with their own initiative and effort in their own time-planning. I do not like giving commands, do not need a maid, need very basic household help and some company. Cash reward is possible for very special activities like helping with major home improvements or help with my small Amazon and Ebay shops or special ventures. I can also host couples to share the work-load. I have great experiences hosting groups, partners and also families. Maximum stay 8 weeks.

Rudolf is a brilliant guy, very smart. Also the room is nice, the area is a perfect 'base-of-operation' to explore Munich, and the BAKERIES nearby are excellent. What's not to love? If you like yogurt, the fridge is always stocked full with them too.

Rudolf is quiet considerate, has a pleasant sense of humor, and is happy to help anyway he can.… read more
