  Description

  We are a couple in our beginning 50s. We have three boys (20,23,25) - two of them live independently, one is still at home. In 2024/25 we had the great opportunity of a sabbatical of 4 months - traveling to San Francisco and French Polynesia and spending three months in New Zealand, where we stayed at work away places, had great cultural exchanges and loved it a lot. That's why we decided to become host ourselves:-).
  We live in large house with garden and have got 11 chickens an 2 cats and love to welcome people from other countries

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  We are looking forward to a cultural exchange. We speak German, English and French. We lived in France for a year (long time ago), in the southern part of England as a family for 5 years.
  I (Doro) work as a primary teacher. Workawayers are welcome to visit our school if interested.
  Matthias is involved with forestry in his own woodland and likes to share his experiences here.
