  Descrição

  I am looking for someone or a couple that would like to do workaway during the end of November and December including Christmas.
  
  Staying. maybe much longer. These dates are adjustable. You will need your own transportation especially for buying your food. I need to return to the USA and need one or better two people to stay in my home. A digital worker would be fine or a retired couple. After a short period of staying with you in the house I would have to leave and you would be responsible for it's basic care. I would be glad to have a whats app or viber phone call to explain my position and what I would expect from you. I wecome questions.
  
  I am a widow of 5years. I am a retired American that has lived in Greece for over 50 years. I graduated from MSU in Michigan. My home is very American. I speak English some Greek and I also speak German. I live in a passive solar house and consider the environment to be something to be cared for. We have about 6 stemmas on a steep hill just above Athens. We are 2 km from the commuter train which goes to Athens nearly every hour and arrives there in 22 minutes making it easy to tour the city and to return. There is always something that needs doing. We had a terrible forest fire. Thankfully, the house was saved. The flower garden always needs some work. There is not much going on in the garden duringthe Winter.
  
  Depending on the time of year I usually have something to do outside. I have a weed strimmer and use it to keep the grass down. I do not have a lawn. I like it when you drive in that it looks good, no junk around. My two dogs sometimes dig holes where I don’t want them. One dog stays outside and the other comes in usually evenings.
  
  I live in a farming area very close to Kifissia. Here it is quiet but easy to get to lively Greek life. Absolutely no smokling. Couples would have their own space and bathroom. Bedrooms are air-conditioned and heated.
  
  Because my house is just outside the city limits it is in a quiet area. It might be nicer for couples as they would have another person to explore Athens etc.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  My husband, Leonard, was an exchange student to Pakistan in the International Farm Youth Exchange program. That experience changed his life. When my husband was alive we traveled a lot and we enjoyed meeting different nationalities. I appreciate different points of view.

  Ajuda

  Farming experience is a plus. Knowing how to set up a dripper system is also helpful. Knowing how to use a weed eater or strimmer is very useful. To protect from fire I must keep the weeds cut on the property by law.

  Acomodação

  I live in a one family home. You would have a room with two twin beds and maybe you would have to share your own bath room. The bed rooms are air conditioned.

  Algo mais...

  We are 1 km from the bus, 2 km from the commuter train, about 20 minutes by car to the subway station. That depends on the time of day. Within 22 minutes the commuter train has you in central Athens. That same train takes you to the port and from there the islands. Athens has lots of things to do and see. Far too many to list here. Young people like visiting the islands.
  
  Please note the commuter train is different than the subway, and it usually runs every hour during business hours. The subway runs every 10 min. If I want to go to Athens, I take the commuter train and then go by subway.

  If really interested I would upgrade my Internet to the highest grade. If you are interested in a lot of night life, I'd suggest having your own car as I am outside of the city. I can use the commuter train every hour mornings and evenings and during the other times of day every 2 hours. It goes Into central Athens in 22 min.
