  Description

  Greetings travellers!
  
  We are a four-headed family, constisting of two girls: Anika (16), Pauline (17) the family man: Frank (60) and me: Carola (53). We are living in a small village near the town Werder (Havel). By driving it is 30 min to Potsdam and 1 hour to Berlin. The area we live in, is characterized by lovely calmness and beautiful nature.
  We have a quite big property with a little garden, where we harvest some fruits and vegetables. In the past couple of years we tried to transform our property into a little farm to be more independent. Therefore we have some chicken, bees and rabbits on our ground. That why there is allways something to do.
  We also have a lovely cat named Susi, which is considered as a family member :)
  Additionally there is a holiday home, where we have some guests from time to time aswell as a swimming pool, where you can relax on hot days.
  
  This is our third experience with workaway and being a host. It is a great idea to get to know new people from other countries and cultures. Last year we had a student from London and an Australian Lady. We are especially interested to speak better english and more fluently. We think the concept of workaway is just perfect to realise our plans.
  Thats why we are looking for somebody to teach us the language with empathy for our english deficit.
  Also we want to realize little projects in the garden.
  
  We are happy to hear from you.

  Aide

  You should have basic crafting skills and do not shy away from getting dirty hands.
  We think about working in the morning for like 4 hours in the garden or with some ongoing projects for example painting a fence or setting some stones.
  Additionally it would be nice, if you could spare some time to have a english talk with our girls, if they are coming home from school. Thats why it would be nicke, if you be cool with teenagers. We especially care about increasing our doughters and my own english skills.
