  Beschreibung

  Hello everyone. Im a bit new to workawaying. After 22 years of world travel, I have returned to my roots and it's magical. Bought this old country cottage some years ago with 5 hectares of land and now renovating it little by little.
  Welcoming any help with the house, renovating, cleaning the surrounding or just being here and enjoying the peace and quiet of the place. Breathing new life into this place is fun and feels like a good thing to be doing.
  
  We are 7 minute walk from the road (a good hitch-hiking spot) and 7km from closest town called Antsla, for shopping etc - 7 minute drive away.
  
  I travel a lot over the summer and not sure yet, when will I be in the cottage. So I have to apologise for not being able to entertain you much.
  This place would suit an independent traveller who is not scared of the wild conditions and appreciates the peaceful rugged magic we have here. On the upside - this means that you are also not expected to work certain amount of hours every day and you have lots of freedom and spare time in your hands and you can enjoy yourself and follow your inspiration. That said, of course I am very grateful for any help. Once we get the bathroom and kitchen happening, (hopefully soon!) the life in the cottage will be much more cosy. Right now there is an outdoor toilet and wood fire stove for making food. Traveling to and from the cottage is very easy by hitchhike or bus. Cottage is near the Kauksi bus stop (Võru county). I think there are 2 buses a day. From the nearby town Antsla - you will find the buses to everywhere else.

  You are not expected to work certain hours per day. Any help with the house and surroundings is appreciated - building / renovating/ cleaning, organising etc.
  Right now the house is a big mess due to renovation, but we should be able to complete the renovation of 2 rooms very soon!
  There are no set ways about how its all going to work. We will make it all up as we dance along the path of least resistance and most fun.
  One is for sure: this corner of the world is special.

  Unterkunft

  It is a work in progress right now. There is an outside compost toilet and running water from the hose, outside the house. Our shower construction is still in the works. We have a beautiful sauna where you can throw buckets of water on yourself. You can warm water for washing in a big pot on the stove or in the sauna. Swimming - jump in the neighbours pond, that is 7 minute walk away.
  There are 3 rooms, with 6 single beds right now. If needed, more mattresses can be organised.
  The conditions are quite wild right now, but this way it is even more fun to see the creation happening through your own hands and to watch everything grow and unfold.
  Right now there is option to cook on wood fire stove, theres sandwich press, toaster, water kettle, fridge, freezer and internet connection.
  Be responsible for your own food please.
  The house is heated by the wood fire ovens.
