About the volunteering opportunity

Our flat share in Kreuzberg is looking for a committed leisure partner for the 26-year-old, fun-loving gentleman. He would like someone to do things together at the weekend, such as going to concerts, talking, playing pool, going to cafés, shisha bars, laptop activities, French conversation, exploring the city and going on excursions.

Thank you in advance for your valuable commitment!
