    Description

    Hello travelers, we are a small family that loves Nature and to share it with others! We have a new project and we need more hands to help us finish, we are transforming and old bus into a house for 5, we can learn together as we work on it.

    We have woodworking, welding and basic electrical knowledge we can share with you and the surroundings of the bus area have rivers, plants and animals you can enjoy. We feel very motivated to have fresh ideas and different points of view in order to complete our challenging task; so some basic skills are needed. Let us know if it’s something you would like to do, thank you in advance :)
