Descrição
About us
We are Anke (born 1974) and Olaf (born 1969). We care deeply about sustainable living, shared spaces and community-minded projects.
The place
Right now we are renovating our house and garden in Neu Zittau (near Berlin). We are living there as a family of four (our two youngest kids still live with us – 15 and 21) and we want to invite others such as workawayers to join us in our way of living from time to time.
Depending on your skills, interests, and the season, you can join us with:
- cleaning the house and garden
- helping with cooking and meals
- helping the garden to flourish, e.g., removing old bushes or unhealthy plants
- chopping and stacking firewood
You won`t be alone with your tasks - there is always someone to guide or help you with.
Until our full swap in May/June we are using two houses, the one in Neu-Zittau and another one in Erkner, which is nearby. Olaf (and sometimes Anke as well) will be in Neu-Zittau during the week to work in the house or the garten. So you have companionship and guidances for all your questions.
Accommodation
You can stay in our small garden house (which has its own small bathroom), or you can have a private room in the main house (depending on availability and the project situation).
Location & getting around
Neu Zittau is a quiet village near Erkner. The train station S Erkner is about 5 km away (approx. 20 minutes by bike or 10 minutes by bus). From Erkner you can reach Berlin Ostkreuz in ~15 minutes or Alexanderplatz in ~25 minutes by train.
We also have bikes for workawayers usage.
Cultural exchange
We love to get into contact with different people and their background through workaway. Sharing meals, having barbecue or sitting at the fire - those are moments we really appreciate.
