    Description

    I live on a hillside in Transylvania, in Bihor county, altittude 700m. I moved here in 2016 from a city life in Bucharest to be closer to nature, to be as free as possible from the system in which I lived up to that point.

    I repaired an old stable on the property I bought and I live peacefully in a village with houses widely spread. More than 90% of the inhabitants are slovaks.

    I aspire to reach a balanced existence, alone or in a comunity, inspired from the values of Nature.
    Freedom, truth, integrity and compassion are my most important values that guide my decisions in life.

    For 2020 I am planning on building a small cellar, a wooden shed, acompost toilet, have a permaculture small garden, plant some trees, gather wild fruits, make some alcohol, finding as much mushrooms as I can in the forest...

    I would also want to start laying the fountation for an earthbag house.

    I have some wooden pallets that are in good shape and can be transformed into different, useful, beautiful things, benches, tables, chairs, boxes, shelves any many other. There is plenty of material to work and play with.

    There is always something to do around here and the activities are various and for anyone.

    So if you are interested to pay me a visit, let me know and I will gladly let you know if, what and when is available for you.

    In a trailer (caravan). It has heating, running water, electricity, toilet, a double bed and a couch.

    I do not eat animal products (except for honey). I eat very simple meals, mostly once a day is enough for me. I can offer for my guests bread, cereals, honey, potatoes, beans, fruits, nuts, sezonal vegetables, even milk and cheese bought from the neighbours if anybody would like that. Also I can share my alcohol beverage which I produced myself from wild pears and plums.
