ウーフーホストなりたてです。冬はゆっくりですが畑仕事したり、保存食を作ったり、羊を放牧するための柵を整えたり、今住んでる古民家の改修をよく知ってる人に聞きながら進めています（私は素人なので、大工仕事が好きな方だととても助かります）長期2週間以上お手伝いできる方を募集してます。冬は寒いですが、温泉が近くにあります。あと、うちの土間には薪ストーブがありうちの風呂は薪風呂です。静かな里山の冬を体験したい方ぜひいらして下さい
I'm a brand-new Woohoo host. Winter moves slowly here, but I spend each day doing a little farm work, making preserved foods, fixing fences for grazing sheep, and renovating the old farmhouse I live in (since I am an amateur, someone who enjoys carpentry would be a huge help!). I'm looking for someone who can help out long-term for at least two weeks. Winter here is cold, but there's a hot spring nearby. Plus, our earthen-floored room (Doma) has a wood-burning stove, and our bath is heated with wood. If you'd like to experience a quiet winter in the foothills, please come visit us!
