    Description

    Hi, Im a mum with 2 youngsters (14,16) and a cat named Gizmo. I love to welcome you to our family.

    When staying with us, you'll blend in as a friend or familymember.
    If you like young adults (who most likely like to live in their own cave/bedroom) , a strange cat and helping me/us out? You are warmly welcomed. You’ll be Gizmo’s servant during your stay.🐈 We have awesome neighbours & friends and my boyfriend living in his own house, down the street.

    Things to do around the house? Mostly general maintanace like sanding, painting, woodworking, cleaning, organizing and you can help me with cooking. We have plenty unfinished DIY projects as wel.
    we love to recycle stuff.

    In the past people helped me a lot in the kitchen but due to work/private mixup nowadays we try to focus on all other small things in and around the house.

    We live a 5 minutes walk from the forest, and the beautiful moor. You can walk and enjoy nature at its best. It is a 20 min. drive to the city of Eindhoven.

    Im a social cultural worker and a (vegan) chef. Most of the time i cook with an intercultural organisation to learn (former) refugees Dutch language.
    I work on different locations and the kids are used to co-parenting so they are not allways with me and I’m commuting a lot. Therefore you have to keep in mind that you allso are in the home alone sometimes.

    Once a month I host a dinner at my place to connect people and let them meet vegan foods. Thats always a joy with a house full of people to talk to and to get to know our culture from the inside out.
    In my household there is above average cooking. If you want me to teach you some vegan cookingtricks, just say so.

    We live with a budget that is paltry. So we can’t spoil you rotten, but love to have you in our family. I do provide you food & drinks and dinners are allways shared. (need dairy products? that’s your own costs) Contribution to the daily grind is a must;; Everyone shares cooking, wiping down the table, vacume clean, shopping and cleaning like a normal family. (Not part of the Workaway hours.) We hope you to be pro active. So your stay does benefit both of us.

    So, basicly we are looking for trustworthy, motivated Workawayers that are fun & with initiative, to share our projects, dreams meals and home with. So please send us an email/apply that is written for us instead of a basic story! We don’t want you to be ‘just’ a workaway, so don’t treat us as ‘just’ a family or place to sleep (that is where a hotel is 4). Connect, and you have a family to come back to for the rest of your traveling-life.

    Important;
    Due to some family issues, I’m not able to host guys/male workaways at the moment.
    Im sorry for that.

    extra;
    If you stay with us, it would make us happy if you contribute to our world travel receipy book. Just bring your own favourite vegetarian or vegan receipy to add to the book. I'm planning on publish it in the future 😊
    (So if you know how to help with that? We would be pleased)

    Leaving a readingbook in your own language for the attic where you sleep, would be great to! There is a big pile of books to swop.

  • Hébergement

    Hébergement

    You will be staying under our roof as a familymember. We’ll eat together (Duluth dinner times! So please ajust) and share the house. Our house is cosy but not that big. You sleep in the attic where we made you your own private space. It is not a hotel but an adventure sleeping in the attic where Gizmo constantly checks if you are ok. The attic has a very steep loftladder! Be carefull!
    Facileties are shared.

    That is why preferences go to solo travellers. It makes it more easy to connect.

    Eindhoven AirPort is near. Only 15 km away. And if you are in to doing things together, we can. I wil help you with all cultural things you want to learn or know.

    There is no public transport here in the evening or during weekends. Ofcourse I can bring you to nearest public transport then. (If we can make it fit in my agenda)
    And a bike is in the shed. If you would like to go for a spin, you can use that! Make sure you lock it!

    The cities of Eindhoven, Tilburg and s-Hettogenbosch are near and I travel to Tilburg or eindhoven each week, so i can drop you there for your day off if you would like that.
