Description
My home lies a bit remote and hidden in a forest glade. This unique and magic place is inhabited with wildlife and spirits. I want to create a diverse permaculture garden for self-reliance and a connection to the wilderness around it. I aim for a simple, alternative and self-sufficient lifestyle away from the system. Join me living a wilderness life out of the comfort zone and away from the digital speed of today. This is a place for experiencing a different way of life, enjoying and finding yourself in nature.
My name is Alex, i am an introvert, sensitive, down-to-earth, respectful and humorous kind of person. I like freedom, nature, the wilderness, calmness, sun, warmth, adventures, remoteness, hiking, backpacking, mountains, climbing, gardening, fitness, movies, cinema, photography, fantasy, botany, collecting plants, self-reliance, self-sufficient and primitive life, survival skills and bushcrafting, hippie style, campfires, laugh, deep and emotional conversations, philosophize, meditation, ...
When I meet new people, I need my time to open.

Accommodation
As with any volunteer project, accommodation and food are included in exchange for doing everyday needed chores. I usually take new guests to a local grocery store and you pick your food of choice for the next days.
You can stay in the small guesthouse. There is drinkable well water from a tap and also a cooking place inside.
A composting toilette is outside.
Electricity is available, limited WIFI only around my own cabin. In general there is a bad signal (phone and wifi) on this place, though there are a few spots where you have it.
For warmwater washing and showers you can use the bathroom in my cabin. Though intensive water use (like showers or washing cloth) is a bit limited by the well. So best if you do that only every few days would be great.
Its also possible to camp outdoors.
What else ...
Next shops, grocery stores and public transportation are in Fehring which is about 10 km from here. When you arrive in Fehring you can hike to my place, or tell me if you want me to pick you up.
I like to have people that can enjoy loneliness and retreat and dont need company all the time.
for your off time:
Be free, sense inside, enjoy this silence and solitude. We can talk, share, and hang out, but also be on our own.
There's the forest just outside of your doorstep. To the alps it takes you around 2h west by car. hungarian and slovenian border around 15min east. closest bigger river 10min by car.
Riegersburg castle around 20min by car.
there is a 3D archery parkour in my forest, free to use. equipment is available
