Creating a small off-grid living space and live in my circus wagon in the woods in Kospallag, Hungary

  Beschreibung

  IMPORTANT: The heating season is almost here and the caravans are heated by wood burning stoves ( I have CO alarms). So in the autumn & winter I can only host people who have used these before and know how to light a fire by themselves. And who are familiar with other basics of countryside / rural living: using a gas bottle stove, carrying heavier things (firewood, water jugs, toilet bucket), to make sure they can take care of their own physical basics for themselves. Otherwise unfortunately it's more extra work for me and less benefit, and uncomfortable for the guest. I will of course show everything you need to know and always welcome questions, but guests need to have a certain level of independence for this exchange to be mutually beneficial. 🌿
  
  I'm Anna and in the last 3 years I've been building a small off-grid living space in the mountains and forest of Northern Hungary. I live on 2 hectares of forested land, surrounded by an untouched national park forest. It's a hiker's paradise, and the river Danube is only 10 km away, with many beaches for bathing during the summer, kayaking etc.
  I have several wooden caravans ("gipsy wagon", "circus wagon") and volunteers will stay in one of them. My personal mission is to live in harmony with nature as much as possible and to live an authentic and deeply fulfilling life.
  I have a veggie garden and currently 15 cute quail as well.
  I am 38, from Hungary, lived in the UK and travelled around Europe, India, the US.
  I studied social anthropology, and have been on a deep inner journey most of my life, so I have a lot of experience with self-awareness, trauma-healing, therapies etc - super happy to share my knowledge of these tools. I love dancing, I do yoga every day, and I love building things with my own hands.
  
  I CAN ONLY HOST PEOPLE WHO ARE PSYCHOLOGICALLY STABLE (ENOUGH ;) EVERYONE HAS SHITTY DAYS, THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEAN ) , WHO ARE NOT IN ACTIVE ADDICTION, AND WHO HAVE A STABLE BACKGROUND TO RETURN TO. I CANNOT UNDERTAKE TO BE ANYONE'S ESCAPE FROM HOMELESSNESS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING!

  Unterkunft

  In a cute wooden caravan / tiny home on wheels. It has a gas stove, washing sink, drinking water dispenser, composting toilet, and even a small shower corner, although that is more comfortable outdoors during the summer. (Also has wood stove with CO-alarm for colder weather).
  1 caravan has one pull-out couch for one person or a couple.
  The other guest caravan has two separate sleeping cabins (separated by the kitchen / entry / common area) with 2 + 2 beds, I think it's comfortable for 3 people max.
  
  I provide ingredients for 3 vegetarian meals per day, and there's a gas cooking stove in each caravan where volunteers can prepare their own food. I will also cook some days.

  Was noch ...

  The place is pretty much in the middle of the forest plus some fields, it's a hikers' paradise with many official hiking routes so you can explore the moutains etc. The river Danube is only 10 km away, with lots of varied beaches, some big and fun and busy with bars and music, and some hidden and quiet. There are a lot of musical events in the larger area during the summer, and also a lot of alternative and like-minded people live around here so there are quite a few alternative bars. However these are 10km away so it's more comfortable to attend these by car. There is public transport but it's a bit scarce.
  From Budapest, the village is about 1hr 10mins by bus and train, and then a 20min walk from the bus stop. Happy to meet you at the edge of the village :) (straight 10 min walk from the bus stop, i will provide an easy map :)

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  This depends on your job. I have mobile internet which I can share for basics: checking emails, messages tc. But it's not super strong, although I do use it for work myself. I'm a freelance translator and it's enough for downloading & uploading documents, using online dictionaries etc. I also regularly do 1hour video calls in medium quality. If you need more intense internet than this, unfortunately it won't be enough.

  Hier sind Haustiere in der Regel willkommen

  There are no fences around the property, and neither around the veggie garden. Dogs are welcome (max 2 at a time) but must be well behaved to respect the garden and any birds I may have. Cats are more than welcome :))
