Description
We are a romanian-german couple (35 and 36 years old), Raluca, who is a restaurateur for cultural heritage and a traditional medicine practitioner, and Gabriel who is a geographer. We have two locations where we need help. one location is in Valea Zalanului, Covasna county, know for the holiday houses of King Charles III. Here we are building a educational and cultural center with a museum for Traditional medicine, a botanical garden for medicinal plants and a classroom. The other farmstay is in Nima Raciului, close to Cluj Napoca and Targu Mures, where we cultivate the medicinal plants used in our cosmetic and food production.
Our Homestays are a place where people can find a connection with the nature and with the rural life, where they can learn about susteinable life, traditional medicine and cultural heritage.
Our main point in this project is to restore the former image of our homestay and work with our neighbors for a better and ecological lifestyle.
During the summer we organize seminars and workshops on different subjects.
