    Description

    Hi we are Harald and Marina a couple from germany/switzerland

    Living with our dogs, cats an chickens on top of a hill in a total rural, quiet and wonderful landscape.

    What we’re mainly doing:
    We have different tourist objects for rent and a little project for straydogs, seasonally making farm products for example black berry jam.
    Beside we‘re taking care of our own home with surroundings, animals, garden forest and orchard. Sustainability and independence is important to us, as we are abroad and do not have all the comunal amenities. For example without current water access, we‘re using rainwater instead….

    Harald(1980) moved to romania 2017 is a total all-rounder from the vet to car screws to any structural work. He loves to educate himself and gets the knowledge he needs by reading a lot.

    Marina(1988) moved to romania 2021 is a naturlover and was longtime active in childcare in naturepedagogy. Between spring and autumn giving courses for wild edibles and making cosmetics out of wild medicinal plants. Likes to be outside for long walks with the dogs and finding wildplants.
