    Description

    Hey there!
    We are Manuel and Michaela with our two little boys Levin (5) and Theo (3)! We live together with our cat Memphis in a wooden blockhouse with a huge garden in an area close to the lake Attersee and the stunning landscape of the Salzkammergut. Manuel works for as a CFO, Michaela is founder of a local community project with an organic coffee shop and as a potter. We are just founding an online shop for pottery, artesans and local organic food. We love outdoor activities such as hiking, biking and camping. We love music and handcrafting and enjoy time with friends and family, regional and organic food and a good glass of wine. Some time ago we travelled with our bikes through South America and the Balkan States. Before that we gained some workaway experience in Italy – we really enjoyed this way of travelling. We love to open our home for friendly and interested people!
