Descrição
From 25.05 until 14.09 I need help with a bit of eco gardening and wooden deck repairs :)!!
I'm a Polish born South African with a 3000m2 land in Poland (Bory Tucholskie area). The plot (with a summer house) is beautifully situated, with lakes, rivers and forests which can be reached on foot or/and bicycle. The area is ideal for canoeing and swimming in summer. I am a professional translator and writer, as well as a Montessori teacher.
My objectives:
For the past 2 summers I've traveled across Europe, (incl Germany, Italy) gathering experience and observing attempts at self-sufficiency, organic and Permaculture farming. I benefitted especially from working as a volunteer for 3 weeks in the Italian Alps herding goats :) and helping to make cheese. So, I know what it is like to be a volunteer! I am a cycling commuter and practice yoga daily, mainly as a way to alleviate pain in my shoulder (due to a car accident years ago). I speak English and Polish fluently, also German. English language teaching is also one of the projects I would like to get involved in. I would describe my English competence as being at a level of 'native speaker' :) but I wouldn't mind if an actual native speaker would be prepared to join me. I am also interested in Italian language and culture :), trying to learn Italian via Duolingo :))) and I will welcome any volunteers from Italy for some conversation practice, while we ride our bikes to the local shop or for a swim in the lake! The accommodation I can offer is pretty 'basic', but there is internet access via your own data, electricity (mains), running water (hot & cold) in the house. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs and a big lounge with additional sleeper couch downstairs, plus a bathroom. I can accommodate 2 volunteers in the house and also 2 more in tents in the big garden outside. My land is located just outside the village of Bladzim (see link). Bladzim railway station is located 20 minutes away on foot (a pleasant walk through the forest). Bladzim is located approx 30 minutes by train from Bydgoszcz, the closest large city. The railway connection is by Arriva RP and is very regular and reliable.Tipos de ajuda e oportunidades de aprendizado

The surrounding outdoor areas of Bory Tucholskie are especially worth visiting, if you are a keen swimmer, cyclist or enjoy canoeing, but there are also many places of historic interest such as Chełmno (with a Tutonic fort), Toruń (birthplace of Nicolaus Copernicus), and Gdańsk on the Baltic coast. One can also experience a wealth of Kashubian cultural traditions and cuisine in many small villages in the area, which every summer host a variety of summer festivals. ,
Ajuda
