The experience

For 20 years I ran a guesthouse where I hosted travelers and volunteers from around the world.
However, now I have moved to a small house in a residential neighborhood, where I will be happy to provide you a private room + breakfast in exchange for some of your time and help.
Also, I can offer you tips and tricks to explore the city beyond what tourist brochures suggest.

I don't bring meals because many times even I don't cook for me (meals to takeway is cheap here). But you can cook for yourself, or we can share expenses & cook together.

Activities & Shift

Tasks are simple: cleaning, painting, some house repairs. Sometimes a help to clean / fix something in my car. Not heavy works. I'm a retired engineer and handyman (friends call me McGiver), so you will learn skills.
