Description
Hey:)
I recently purchased the old house next to me and like to renovate it in old style.
Besides that I have bees, some chickens, 2 cats and a vegetable garden.
I intend to set up a greenhouse and another fenced area for chickens and finishing a sauna.
The only experience I had so far with people staying in my house was having an Ukrainian couple in my house. But 99% communication went through Google translate which was not so easy but I am still in touch with them:)
I do not eat meat but I have no problems with any diets that people like to follow.
This text could use an editor :)
But feel free to check me on Instagram. - ask me for the link
Update:
Grape harvest is finished now, work at the old house is going on still.
Gardening is little less now since temperatures are dropping.

Grapes picking.
I love hiking and playing boardgames and watching arthouse movies so this could all be included in your stay.
Hope to introduce you also to some dear friends I made in Slovenia.
Help
Next upcoming projects:
-Picking grapes at the neighbors
- help for filling up grouts in the old house
-picking apples, cleaning and pressing apple juice
I think none of the tasks are really hard or require technical skills.

I offer a place to sleep, food and if you come in the end of September you can participate in the harvesting of grapes in my village. (It actual involves drinking a lot of wine).
