  Descrição

  Hello! Hallo! Salut!
  
  We are a family of six (four girls aged 17 - 25 and their parents), located in a village between Bonn and Cologne. My two older sisters are studying. My youngest sister is still going to school and lives at home. I (managing the account) will be home building a camper in our old horsetrailer. I will start University in Oktober and will still be here.
  We live in an old farmhouse with our animals: dogs, cats, chicken, ponies, rabbits, bees and more (we are not a farm, it’s just a hobby lifestyle). There is always a lot going on, from small projects in the yard to gardening work and dealing with the normal chaos called life :) We love to cook and bake, going on rides/ carriage drives with the ponies, having friends over and would love to welcome people from all over the world. We try to be as ecofriendly as possible and eat mostly vegetarian.
  We speak german, english and french and would love some cultural exchange! You would help us about 4 to 5 hours a day.
  We would like to have workawayers for a shorter period (between one and three weeks).
  
  Note: When you're about to write us please introduce yourself a little bit. It is easier for us to know if you would fit in our family when we know something about you expect from the fact that you want to visit us. Especially because we have a lot of animals you shouldn't be afraid of them. And we need you to speak a good englisch level so we communicate easily.
  
  Note: We do not host during Christmas Ewe and New Year. Our house and garden is a strictly non-smoking area.

  Ajuda

  There is always a lot to do in the garden, especially in summer and spring. We grow some fruits and veggies in a small vegetable garden and are trying to keep balance between a natural and beautiful cottage garden. There is always some weeding, planting or trimming going on in the garden.
  In autumn and winter we need help with feeding, harvesting, gather leaves, woodwork and preparing everything for the winter. If the ponies aren't on the pasture also mucking out the stables.
  Through the whole year we also need help with small outside craft tasks, Wood work and so on. We always like to have a Video call with our Workaway to say hi and also to explain with a bit more details which work we need at the moment.
  
  You could also help with the animals (feeding, brushing, mucking out stables). You don’t need specific experience. However it would be nice but isn’t a must have. Mostly you should love to work outside while getting your hands dirty. Of course we make sure, you won't be overwhelmed with work :)
  
  Note: As you can read in our feedback I (Henriette/Heni) used to work with our Workawayers together. But since I am about to start university you will might do tasks alone. So we will show and explain what tasks needs to be done and you can do it in your own speed. That might be a bit lonely sometimes cause the whole family will be at work, school or university during working hours. But if that’s the case we will 100% do some cool stuff together when we’re all back (playing cards, watching movies, cooking or help with the animals. Maybe we will also work together during the weekend and you will have your days of within the week.

  Algo mais...

  There is plenty to see and do in your free time. You could visit Bonn and Cologne (both can easily be reached by train, we could show you how) and the Eifel (a beautiful national Parc) is close by. We would be happy to show you the region and of course you could join us on trips and our daily life :) We would love to take you on a carriage drive with our pony’s or spending the evening together with a movie or card games.
