Description
We, Stefan and Audris, are a happy and creative couple. We are living with our dog and our friend Cindy (she has her own apartment in our house) in a house with a big garden in the midst of a village. Audris speaks english, french, spanish currently and has travelled also quite a lot years ago. Stefan has skills in constructing (he made a camper out of an empty van and much more). Stefan is the calm, practical but also very sensitive person, and Audris is the firework with always new ideas and joy of life. Niall, the dog is very powerful, sensitive and veeery clever. Cindy, our friend is quiet and very sensible.

In our Shop 10 driving minutes away in the center of an small medieval town, we sell yoga features, singing bowls, candles, stones, jewelry, orgonites that Stefan produces himself and much more. Audris offers also energetic work there.

As we are always full of enthousiastic projects for the house, we would apreciate your skills and help (we come to it).
First of all, we love people, sitting and exchanging, playing society games etc. Humour and laughing are important for us but also quiet, deep going discussions. We also need our retirement space and time and respect this also for the others.

Your space: in the basement with direct access to the garden we have a room, cozy and simple, with a terrasse and lounge and fireplace. There is a 160 large bed, good matress, table, chair, shelves.The only thing you have to be aware is that the room is not isolated as a house, so, in the winter it is cold and we dont use it. Sure, there is an electric oven for the colder summer moments.
Beside is a toilet and a shower and also a kitchen with gas, a sink, fridge. This place is used by us all when we are in the garden in summer or washing. Also there is a gas oven when you shower and it is fresh.
We live and work in the basement and first floor. You can have dinner with us if you want, use the living room together with us.

Coming to the help we would apreciate one or more of the following help:

- we would love that someone cookes and bakes for us. We eat organic food when possible, Audris dont digest well the animal products and gluten, but we are not fixed on it. Stefan eats meet, but organic. If you love cooking sane and fresh, and baking cakes and bread (glutenfree) we would be so happy!

- Over all in May and June the big wild garden needs to be looked after. We are very bad at that, so it is quite wild. The advantage: it doesnt have to be perfect. We have a pond with frogs and places with good earth if you like to plant things to eat (this is not a must, just if you like)

- we would apreciate help to go walking and playing with the dog. So it would be better you like and understand animals.

-Drivers license would be appreciated for you and for us

- There are always things to do in and around the house and Stefan has all the material for woodwork or repairing. A practical person would be great. Also this is not a must, only if you enjoy.

- Last but not least Audris is a musician in heart and plays quite well piano. She likes drumming and maybe if she dares singing. But she does not practice it, other people are missing. Maybe you have those skills? (again, not an must).

We are all excited to meet YOU! Feel free to ask questions.

Greetings from Audris, Stefan, Niall and Cindy

You can benefit from a very positive and highly sensitive, authentic, uncomplicated and joyful environment. The house is a very cosy but simple place, decoration an colours are important to us because it contributes to the well being. The nature in Switzerland is gorgeous, the mountains are fantastic. We are very spiritual people without any dogma, just living the magic of life. And, oh, Audris speaks english, french, spanish currently and has travelled also quite a lot years ago.

Simple, colourful, with big windows and direct access to a cozy protected corner to the garden. The room is not isolated but has electric oven, so it is not for the winter. Shower, toilets and a kitchen just beside (used also by us if we are washing or in the garden).

Bus station is at 2 Minutes walk, train can be reached by bus, but no problem if you have a driving license to have one of our cars sometimes. Swiss mountains and nature around are great, the towns also. Zurich is at 45 Minutes drive, Bern and Basel at 1 hour. We live near a river (10 Minutes walk) and forest (village is at the bottom of a big hill). Aarau is nice for going out, a small town but has everything.
