  Description

  We are a couple (mid-50's) living in a former farmhouse with several barns and gardens. Bedroom options in the farmhouse, in a barn, in a tent and in caravan. A space for Vanlife is available as well.
  As former travelers we are keen on having guests and we are are looking for support to paint barns, styling a natural garden and a water pond oncoming spring and summer. Or are you experienced to build a dry toilet?
  We are located near the westernmost point of Germany, surrounded by the Netherlands. It takes 10-15 bicycleminutes to a Dutch railroadstation which will bring you to Sittard(easy by bicycle too), Aachen, Maastricht, Liège, Eindhoven, Amsterdam, etc.
  Düsseldorf and Cologne can be reached by bus+train.
  Bicycles are available.
  
  If you are a free and tolerant person (couples are welcome too) who likes a, nearby, remote quiet location, with space to relax, read, yoga, meditation, taking sunbaths, work digital (glassfiber internet), walk in a nature reserve nextdoor but also enjoy to visit the nearby cities as mentioned above, then feel welcome to contact us.
  
  Please note: All races, genders, positive open minds and (non)+vegetarians are welcome. Extremists and energy pirates only if you are open for a quick and sustainable change.
