Program Details

Depending on your skills and predisposition we will work out a personal schedule for the time you will spend here. I am interested in arts in general and I am willing to improve. Beside that I am also interested on doing some work out in our fully equiped gym as well as haiking around.

Activities & Shift

As said on the descripiton mornings are free for you. If you work from remote, if you like to take it easy enyoing a cup of tea and a good book you can do it. Around twelve or so we organize lunch together. Approximately from 14 till 18 your help will be required to bring on the planned activities we have discussed together. After that we are pritty relaxed and flexible and we might stay or go out depending on the mood and the weather. :)

Rules

I would appriciate if you could contribute to keep the public spaces of the house clean and tidy. While living alone I am generally set up to dedicate a morning every week to do my laundry and some "intense" cleaning but I am also very open to pick up new methods.
