Description
Hi, my name is Ian. I am a global traveller for the past 25 years. Finally I've decide to settle and start a new project in the most beautiful part northwest of Slovenia, Soča river is a few minutes away. I have a ditached house in a small village surrounded by the amazing nature.
I have a long term goal for this house. In the future I would like to set this place up as a creative guesthouse, where people from all creative backgrounds can come and share knowledge and skills. A collaborative project with a alternative therapies & Yoga retreats , where we can practise a spiritual, holistic approach to life amongst the beauty of nature. Our dream is to be 75% self sustainable and reproducing our energy from solar by end of 2024
We also introduced permaculture design and we harvest most of the seasonal greens,healing herbs and cooking herbs.
The ideas are neverending we look forward to build an A frame glamping small house and green house and wood yoga platform by end 2024,join us for some adventurous ideas.
We are also interested to collaborate with volunteers this year 2024 on a long period stay,Interesting project coming up from January,march April 2024,we are Very interested to collaborate with Yoga and holistic teachers, artist, carpenters and basic renovation experience experience,
Herbs knowledge and alternative medicine experience, homeopathy. Project coordinators.
When this project is completed, holistic workshops will be available for guests to enjoy as well as the local community. My village is a small community of private house owners who are very much involved in sustainable living, growing organic fruits and vegetables and working the land with pride and love.
This is a perfect opportunity for someone who loves the outdoors and want to come and immerse themselves in nature connect with one self and feel the nature in full blossom,experience abundance of outdoor and extreme sports at your fingertips. Come and join with a positive vibe !

Trekking opportunity as lots of mountains around and mountaineering and ice climbing in winter times. Hope that this year we will have some nice ice climbing 😂
Special Meditation spots by the river in walking distance.
Help
I'm looking only for volunteer with some experience over 25 years of age,to come and help in the garden,and general maintenance in the house and live fully connect to nature.
The garden isn't huge or small but is in need of some tender loving care, I'm unable to manage everything alone so some assistance (preferably with gardening experience) is key. I have a vegetable patch which will need some attention, fruit trees and two small lawn areas that have been taken over by weeds. I'm working on a larger project on the first floor of the house, so I'm looking for someone to take care of the food shopping (on occasion), cooking and cleaning as well. Looking for individuals that are self motivated willing to exchange experience and fun to work with. I would very much appreciate help over the coming months. Please describe yourselves and what it is about nature you love and why my profile got your attention and interest. If you have knowledge of handy work or other trade let us know.
For those who are looking for holidays only and not a collaboration exchange please do not contact me in the first place,we would like to exchange be productive and working in a peaceful way,shere food and culture joke enjoy the work and have a Lough.
Please come with a positive vibe,smile.
Thanks.
