  Welcome to our nature paradise - I am an artist working with creative concepts and photography - please only send a request if your english or german is fluent - you need to be able to communicate with whats app or similar app for easy communication, please make sure you have your own data on your phone or a travel plan so we are able to talk when you leave the house as well.
  we do have internet but it is slow and not always good connection because of the mountains.
  
  We live in a small old house in midst of magical nature but very close to everything like shopping center, public transportation, bakeries, old village town, museum, movie theather.
  
  We (my cat Charlie and I ) live in the middle of the old village Näfels with a stunning panorama view to the famous Glarus mountains, forest and valleys.
  
  We heat the house with wood, we have a cozy stove and small outdoor seating area at the front entrance for workaways and airbnb guest.
  The balkony / terasse is privat.
  
  I travel a lot, so often the workaway might stay here alone or with other workaways and guests or me if i am around.
  
  From time to time we might host some artists and art-projects from around the world.
  
  TASKS
  
  HOURS 9.30 AM - 3PM or 10AM - 3PM ( with either 60min or 30min lunch break ) it might be able to adapt with workaways shedule...need to be discussed.
  In winter time we need to heat the house with wood, our firestove is big and cozy one also we can cook on that stove, so we do not need the electricity of the other stove.
  Heating times 6 or 7am, Noon, and Evening.
  
  Daily general tasks, to be done everyday: Feed the cat, spend some time playing and just spend time in the same room with him so he feels the connection and attention. He loves to rest and sleep in the same room, living room or the privat bedroom.
  10.30 am sharp daily cleaning of the rooms, common areas, ect. if needed, to be discussed with me.
  In winter time organize the wood for the firestove as soon as there is only litte left.
  It is a beautiful meditative beginning in the day to start the fire in the stove a beautiful ritual and very cozy as the warmth of the fire is so much more cozy then a regular heating system.
