  Descrição

  Hello WorkAway community!
  
  We are Antoine, Caroline, Basile (2018), Jean (2022) (and our cat Roquefort (2023) and dog Roxane (2020). We discovered the WorkAway platform almost two years ago. Since then, we've made unforgettable connections around the world: from Australia to Ireland, through Germany and Taiwan. What we particularly appreciate about this concept is that each new WorkAway experience brings something exceptional to our daily lives and reminds us of the richness of meeting new people.
  
  A little about us:
  Antoine is 32 years old. He is a French-German national, a fan of "apéros", and a musician/singer. His creativity also shines in his professional work where he designs robots for neurosurgery! He is the man of the family, known and respected for his unparalleled kindness and benevolence. Curious, sociable, and enthusiastic, his secret dream is to one day participate in Survivor. In fact, he thinks he could win..
  
  Caroline is 38 years old. She is a French-American national and has a deep respect for nature and authentic, kind human interactions. Listening to life story podcasts has recently become one of her favorite pastimes! Not long ago, she decided to stop her work as a middle school design teacher to teach yoga to adults. Her dream is to one day nourish her family primarily with vegetables and fruits from her garden.
  
  Basile is 6 years old. He is a lively boy who loves spending time with his neighbors and friends. He enjoys biking, running, playing football, and jumping on the trampoline. Equipped with his walkie-talkie, he occasionally explores the area around the house, gradually experiencing the joys of autonomy and independence. He will challenge you to beat him at chess. His dream is to one day buy a drone and go quad biking with his friends.
  
  Jean, the youngest member of the family, is 20 months old. He is a big boy, very tender and sociable. He is starting to develop a good vocabulary and knows how to make himself understood when asking for food. A fan of chocolate, raspberries, parmesan, and soccer, he will challenge you to kick the ball better than him!
  
  Our Hosting Style:
  We provide insights for exploring the vibrant Klingenthal area and beyond. Our family time is precious and fairly time-consuming, which limits our availability for spontaneous adventures, but we're always ready to offer suggestions and support for your explorations.
  What We Offer:
  You'll have a personal living space with a newly remodeled bathroom, washing machine, private bedroom, kitchen, bathroom. We value the mix of communal and personal experiences, ensuring a comfortable balance during your stay.
  Transportation Insights:
  While bus service to Obernai or Strasbourg is available, it's infrequent. For those with a valid driving license, a car is at your disposal, perfect for exploring the beautiful Alsace region or enjoying local hiking and trail running.
  Our Expectations:
  We view our Workaway experience as akin to having close neighbors. Interaction and shared moments are common, but both parties enjoy their independence and autonomy. In exchange for a comfortable, quality living space, we ask for about 20 hours a week of help. Our needs are mostly vegetarian cooking, dog, garden and children related :))

  Help We Need From Our Workawayers: Embracing Initiative and Creativity
  
  As a family, we deeply value and encourage personal initiative and creativity in all tasks. We believe that every individual brings unique skills and ideas, and we're excited to see how you can contribute in your own special way. Here’s a rundown of the areas where we’d love your assistance:
  
  Woodworking & Heating:
  
  Wood Logs: Your help will be needed in stacking, organizing, and cutting wood logs for our wood-burning heater.
  Wood-Burning Heater Maintenance: Our home is cozily heated by a wood-burning heater, which requires lighting a fire in the morning and again in the evening.
  
  DIY Projects:
  
  Bring your creativity to the fore in various DIY tasks like painting walls, sanding, polishing, and painting old or damaged furniture.
  Vegetable Beds: We’re also looking to construct vegetable beds, so any experience or interest in this would be fantastic!
  
  Vegetable Garden:
  
  We're planning to design a vegetable garden suited to our family's needs. If you have a green thumb or design skills, we'd love your input and assistance in making this a reality.
  
  Animal Care:
  
  Meet Roxane, our 4-year-old Bernese Mountain Dog, a gentle and loving soul. While we enjoy our daily walks with her, there might be times when we’d appreciate your help in taking care of her.
  
  Kitchen Assistance:
  
  Healthy, local eating is a cornerstone of our lifestyle. If you have a knack for cooking, especially vegetarian dishes, your help in the kitchen would be greatly appreciated. Let’s share recipes and create delicious meals together!
  
  Babysitting:
  
  With two young children, an extra set of eyes, ears, and hands is always a blessing. Your involvement in babysitting would provide valuable support to our family’s dynamic.
  
  We're excited to have you bring your own flair to these tasks, and we can’t wait to see how your presence enriches our home and family life.
