  Description

  My husband and I are a German-Australian couple and speak both English and German at home. We have three adult children at university back in Australia, and we moved to Germany at the beginning of 2026.
  
  Work in progress! My husband and I are in the progress of purchasing a house around the Rheinland-Pfalz area and would love to turn it into an artistic, creative retreat which can make available for free to artists of all kinds. We‘re also very interested in permaculture and are planning for a fantastic garden. We‘ll be starting with renovation of the existing house, landscaping and planting.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  My husband and I are a German-Australian couple and speak both English and German at home. We have three adult children at university back in Australia, and we moved to Germany at the beginning of 2026.
  
  You can expect a house full of books, music, creative projects, good food and laughter! My husband is a chemistry professor and my interests lean more towards the arts. We both love history and travel.
  
  The area where we live is surrounded by forests and farming areas, including a beautiful wine growing region. Being so close to the French border there are opportunities to discover both French and German culture and language in this area.
  
  I love a DIY project and have accomplished quite a few over the years in different houses and gardens. I even participated in building a yurt in my early 20s! While I am not professionally trained in any trades, I love to give things a go, and really appreciate the opportunity to learn and share skills. I am also not a bad cook so if you’re after tips in the kitchen, I am your go-to!
  
  We don’t smoke, so non-smokers are preferred please :-)

  Cet hôte propose un échange linguistique
  My husband is fluent in both German and English, and I am fluent in English, learning German (around B1 currently). I would love another German speaker around to practice with, and would also be very happy to practice English. My husband would also be interested in learning more French, as he studied this in high school.
