Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We live right next to Opusztaszer, the place where Hungary originally was founded, there is a massive national park there where you can learn all about this country. Then we are lucky to have a lot of remarkable and very interesting hungarian neigbours (an highly educated engineer that has now become a sheep farmer, a strawberry grower that loves and knows all about the hungarian history, and a 40year old city girl from Budapest who has decided to come and live here in the middle of the southern great plane. We also have hungarian friends who have a horse farm, so riding is not a problem if you wish to do so. In the neighbour village there is a famous Akhal Tekkiner stud where you can go horseriding anytime. Then there is a world famous bird photographer who lives in our village and has lots of bird watching hides around this area, one in our neigbours back garden. The list goes on.....
Help
A little help would be nice, but we don't want "workers". There is always something to do, that will make your day fullfilled, like grass cutting, fence painting, walking the dogs, tend to the little kitchen garden, do a bit of light housework or cook a meal if you feel like it, or you can also get involved in the few ongoing building projects if that's what you like to do. There is no children. If you are a free spirit that appreciates nature, quiet and likes to have a bit of fun you would be at the right place at our little farm! We also help occasionally in a near by dog shelter, so if you love dogs you are welcome to come along.

Accommodation
You would be staying in the house on the 2nd floor, it’s all open plan (80m square) and you can organise it to your needs. There is a double bed, air conditioning, office space and running water.
We are not vegetarians but don’t have a problem with somebody who is. We appreciate delicious food and don’t save money on it.
What else ...
As already mentioned there is lots to do around here. 15 mins away there is both, a beach on a big lake with possability to hire a paddling boat, an indoor Spa and a bowling alley. Horse riding, bird watching, endless amount of hiking, fishing or a trip to the nearby University city Szeged, which is very nice and has a friendly atmosphere. There is the possability of the use of a car, a vespa or bicycles. And of course you can always walk…
