Description
We are a young couple living in a small hungarian speeking transilvanian village and are in the middle of our big adventure of having baby and renovating our home. We work and take care of the earth, use only natural materials for our cob house, in the beginning of our way to a self-sustainable living we grow vegetables, grain,etc. aaaand we cultivate fruit trees and roses, which need a lot of atention. So basicly our main projects right now are renovating the house with traditional techniques and gardening.
We both love to travel, but due to our current situation, we are happy to"travel" by recieving travellers and having exchange with foreigners. We speak hungarian, rumanian, german, english and spanish.
Between mid-December and beginning of March we are not available.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In the village we live in, its normal to hold pigs and chicken, gooses, sheep, horses and cows graze in the fields, and many people still use a horse charriot for transportation. In the market you can find homegrown fruits and vegetables and many home made products like dairy products, zakuszka, marmelades, tomato juice, wine, palinka etc.
Help
The work we expect from you depends on the seasonal necesities of the garden. This can include nursing the breeded fruit trees, taking out unnessesary weeds, spraying biological substances for protection of the trees and other things which can occure spontanously.
Depending on the temperature and the condition of the house, the possibility to learn the traditional techniques of cob house construction can also emerge.
