  Beschreibung

  We are a family of 5. My wife is from Transylvania and grew up in an off grid community, until she was 10 years old, using a bartering system, exchanging goods, produce and physical work. I was born and raised on the California coast and moved to Virginia as an adult. Our two boys were born in Virginia. When they reached the ages of 3 and 5, we thought we would expose them to a different culture and smaller community life, so we moved to Hungary.
  Our family is multi-lingual. The children are fluent in English and Hungarian, and my wife is also fluent in Romanian as well. We are big in crafting with leather and wood and play music together most days (drums, violin, banjo, recorder, harmonica, guitar, accordion, etc) .
  We also like to organize farm to table events in the summer.

  The kids love being in nature, wrestling and playing music: drums, violin, banjo, recorder (flute), harmonica, guitar...
  
  We are living in a natural way, so please know that our farm is a place where you may experience a "digital detox", and you'd be enjoying our (odor free) compost toilets.
  
  The main priorities where we'd be happy to receive help are:
  
  + Gardening and Soil work
  + Teaching the kids skills, such as: Acrobatics / Music / Juggling etc
  + Wood work (craftsmanship)
  + Taking our dog for daily long walks, taking the goats to pasture

  Unterkunft

  We have 3 properties in Hungary and one in Transylvania that we are developing for sustainable living, to teach our children the values and lessons from living a simple life in harmony with nature. We are obsessed with alternative living . One property, our main residence, is in a small village North West of Budapest. Here we have an off-grid solar system, ducks and chickens, a green house, young fruit trees and a permaculture/bio-dynamic garden and forest garden. The other 2 properties are 8km away (close to Pilis hills) on a hill with a scenic view. There we have a fruit tree orchard, with various cherry, plum and other fruit trees, goats and off-grid living tiny houses.
  We have separate rooms or apartment or tiny houses or tent.

  Was noch ...

  We enjoy growing, harvesting and cooking our own food and sourcing our own materials for making crafts, structures and instruments. Hiking in local vineyards or walking along ancient Roman roads is as close as walking up the street. Bluegrass banjo often generates a improvisational sing-a-long and frequent quests keep each day eventful and unpredictable. Budapest is easily accessible by car or bus and we often go for a day trip.
  We have a music barn where often we play together with local musician. Music in the barn..
