  Beschreibung

  Gardening and general maintenance in a nice little village near Mtskheta in Georgia (40mins from Tbilisi)
  
  If you are an artist and/or have a project to work on, and want some peace and tranquility, alone or with a partner or friend, it's a great place to relax and reset while helping with little tasks to upgrade and take care of the house and garden.
  
  The house is a three-story building with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a workshop, kitchen, a studio with a separate kitchenette, a terrace, balcony, and a garden.
  
  You can use the kitchen, paying attention to keep containers closed and make sure there are no mice.
  
  As for the village, it is not too small, not too big, has many small grocery stores, there are two lakes nearby (5minute walk from the house), the Aragvi river, and a very nice restaurant one village over (5min drive or 30min walk) and it is connected to the city, there are minivans going back and forth multiple times per day for 2gel stopping close to the house, and otherwise every 30mins or so from the highway if you walk out to it - takes about 30 minutes.
  
  A little about me:
  I'm a writer and poet myself, half Georgian half American, I'm quite nomadic and really appreciate having spaces like these whether with artist residencies, volunteering spaces or with friends, so would like to create and offer the same.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Walking around the village, meeting with people (there is someone who has started an interesting hospitality project nearby with treehouses and ceramics, he may be glad to exchange ideas), discovering nature, etc
  
  If I am there, we can collaborate on art projects if we feel like it.
  
  If I am not and you are housesitting, it will be more of a retreat for you, and you're free to explore and discover
  
  Depending on what you're interested in, I can also recommend events and art and gardening spaces in Tbilisi and Georgia, as you can travel around fairly easily using the house as a base.

  Arbeit

  As a volunteer you will help with the garden, pruning and cleaning up the yard, raking, rearranging and making a better garden design with me, basic house repairs and upgrades.
  
  Depending on the season, you/we might also be pruning the trees, collecting different fruits or walnuts, making jams, etc.
  
  You won't be helping a lot of time each day, I am starting this Workaway as a way for artists to retreat and have a space to create art, and to fill the house with some nice artistic creative energy. There will be artist residencies happening there soon, and this is a way to start that.
  
  In your message, please include a link to either your artist website, social media account where you post your art, a Google drive link with some pieces of yours (whatever type of art) or something in that vein and tell me if you would plan on working on any particular project (if not and you're exploring or not sure, that's fine too).

  Unterkunft

  See above in general description
  
  You'll have your own bedroom. They are all comfortable with double beds or extendable couches.
  
  There are sheets and towels, all the essentials, there is a washing machine.
  
  Depending on which bedroom you stay in, you might be using a shared bathroom.
  
  You will need mobile data, there is no WiFi (but we can perhaps get it installed), but getting a SIM with monthly unlimited data is asy and cheap (32 gel/mo, around 10$).
  
  --------
  If housesitting:
  
  You can choose the bedroom you like.
  In the winter, there is electrical heating which needs to be used carefully, and gas heating which I will need your help with setting up well, as it's been installed but hasn't been used much.
  
  You can stay with a friend or partner, or receive guests if you like as long as they are respectful and neat.
  
  You will do your own cooking and will need to get your own food, but it is all quite cheap in the village. Although the items sold are often quite basic, so you might want to go and get groceries in a bigger village or in town from time to time. I like to relax, cut down and stick to basics when I am there, and live more simply, but I also enjoy cooking. Normally, you'll find all the utensils and essentials you might need.
