Slow living in the Austrian countryside with a lovely cat and a permaculture garden, just one hour from Vienna, Austria

  Description

  My large, south-facing house (a former farmhouse) and an 800 m² permaculture garden with fruit, vegetables, and medicinal herbs are located in a small village about 60 km from Vienna. I have a beloved cat—this is Lucky—who enjoys the house and garden very much. From here you have a beautiful view all the way to the foothills of the Alps.
  Friends love to visit and often help out from time to time. Ten years ago I moved here from Vienna to my former parents’ home, where I have done a lot of renovation. I transformed the garden into a permaculture garden, this is an ongoing process. I love medicinal herbs. I harvest according to the lunar cycle, and I grow many of them in the garden.
  
  In Spring, Summer and Autumn there is quite a bit to do in the garden, as well as occasional small maintenance tasks around the house, where I appreciate some support. But there is also plenty of time for relaxing in the sun, meditating, practicing yoga, Tai Chi, or Feldenkrais, doing energy work, writing or reading stories and books, watching films, petting Lucky, going on excursions, walking, jogging, or swimming, playing piano.
  
  IN WINTER it's very different. It's an even more quiet time. It is time to study, time to write stories and books, to do energy and body work, doing some art, playing piano, petting Lucky. I have a nice piano. If you like to play you are very welcome. Lucky loves it if somebody is playing nice music. It's time to do some work in the house, painting a room, special cleaning, cooking..
  If someone wants to work on a book, a dissertation, or another writing project and needs a quiet place with a cat with cooking or cleaning distraction, talking English in between, this is an ideal place in wintertime.
  
  I am a vegetarian. I don't eat sugar, I don't drink coffe, I don't trink alcohol. My native language is German, I speak English very well, and a little French.
  
  I am a member of Kerry K’s Plasma Light Tribe. Grounded spirituality is an important part of my life.
  
  The train station is about 5 km away and can be reached by bike or by car. Having a driver’s license is useful here.
  
  
  Before moving to this place I was travelling a lot. From 2008 – 2023 I worked in Hospice Austria, planning, improving and leading the project “Hospice and Palliative Care in Nursing. Since two years I am retired. I am 62 years young.
  
  I am looking for female workawayer English native speaker from 40 - 100...years old. My last female workawayer was caring, very watching, selfindependent, calm, a cat lover and did energy and body work. That is perfect here!!!!

  Hébergement

  SPRING SUMMER AUTUMN: You will get one of my two guest rooms. It has a comfortable bed and a hammock, a desk and box for clothes. I have a walk-in closet where we can store some of your things too.
  
  WINTER: The house is warm in winter but it's an old farmhouse and I need my woolen sleepers and my woolen sweater in the house to feel cosy. It’s certainly an advantage if you’re not very sensitive to the cold or if you sensitive that you have good warm clothes. I have a central heating and a small tiled stove too.
  
  At my place there is only organic, vegetarian food. I don’t cook big meals, usually it’s something simple like vegetables and rice, healthy organic food. But you are welcome to add your own things and sometimes cook for yourself. I am looking forward to share some recepices.
