  Beschreibung

  We are a young family of three, soon to be four :) Ainar(27), Marju(34) and our 1 year old son Tambet. In September a new baby will join us too. We moved into the forest in Viljandimaa, Estonia about a year ago from the capital of Estonia, Tallinn. When we were living in the city I (Marju) was working as a hair stylist and Ainar was working in IT field. Coming here we both quit our jobs and at the moment it is a process of moving towards sustainable living. So we are figuring out day by day, how this life works in the country and learning about natural way of life. Whole household needs constant care and attention and every set of hands is very welcome to help us.
  Place itself is very private, quite deep in the forest. We try to build and repair as much as possible with what we can find locally and by recycling. This way of doing things can be very creative, so come and let your creativity run wild, with what can be done with so simple materials ;) We also try to find balance between chores and peace of mind so we could still enjoy the beautiful nature around us. There are also two cats, rooster and five chickens living with us.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We consider the strongest benefits of our place to be the nature and creativity. As we are blessed to be living here in such seclusion, surrounded by forests it is a beautiful place to share with others. Also the way we recycle and try to use local materials for most projects might be very diiferent from how things are mostly done nowadays.

  Unterkunft

  We have a room for workawayers on the second floor. It has a balcony, which is seen on the pictures and it is a bit separate from our living area. Morning sun will wake you, but it is a beautiful place to do your morning routines. Balcony is big enough if you want to do your morning yoga or exercise in the morning sun.
  We will provide food, yet unfortunately it is not our own grown, except for eggs ;) We try to not eat sugar and milk products. Step by step our intention is to move towards healthier life. At the moment we still eat eggs and rarely some meat.

  Was noch ...

  The closest village with a bus stop and small shop is about 3 km. In that village there is also a hiking trail and library. About 400-500 meters through forest there is also a small riverlike stream, where it is possible to fish. Into that stream it is also possible to go for a swim, but that would be for the courageous ones. For othes there are some lakes in the distance of 4-5 km.
