Description
Hallo friends from around the world,
I am Tania and live on main land of Greece. I came back here after traveling and living in other countries ,like the Netherlands, Tsechoslovakia, for shorter time in Nepal, India, Australia and few more.
The point is that for me it became necessary to settle somewhere... and
Paiko Mountain in central Macedonia in Greece is the right place. It feels living completely in the nature but the culture is just around the corner. Thessaloniki, the international airport and the Aegean sea is an hour drive from Goumenissa. And at the same time our 'homeland' is seemingly lost in the mountains.
.What is most important probably to know about me is that...I am in Love with MOUNT PAIKO. To dwell and exist here is a blessing.
I believe that sometimes in our life we need to stop for a while and reconsider... so to appreciate even more that what we already have accomplished or to find the positive energy to start afresh
One important think that I did achieved in the time that I'm dwelling here on this land is that I have given back to Nature 10,000 square meters of deserted land. And what I happily still am capable of is to be the guardian and a volunteer myself to keep it in a Natural State voor the Plants aan de Animals.
What I do wish for is that this place would give opportunity to more people to come together here and learn and teach things to each other...like...Permaculture, General Gardening, Self-Sustainability , Meditation, Conscious Positive Thinking, Herbaling, and more kinds of 'Human Living'.
I would love to have families with children coming over.To participate and play around. Or to go out all together to collect seasonal herbs or wild green salads.Or in May collect cherries to make a jam or dry for the winter. Especially Greek people need to rediscover the value of there home land and the possibilities of living closer to nature. Things like permaculture do a lot of good, and there are young people that are questioning and searching for solutions. I'd love to be a part of it.
.If you come to help me you will stay with me in my little home , the small wooden hut or a tent . (the toilet is oldtimer outdoors). You will be part of my simple daily life. I'll take you with me and I share with you what I have. You can help with the daily life. and the different short projects like for example , two days cherries picking in June or two days olive picking in November. Collecting herbs or wilde greens for salads repairing one or the other around the land. And than Gardening from spring to autumn or wood stapeling for the winter...
When we will communicate we will always better talk the specific details from both sides. Because every season is different and every person is different.
Have different expectations and needs.
.
Wish you all good travels and great experiences.
Greetings from Beautiful and 'aromatic' Greece,
Tania ( SivaTsi)

If you are alone (spatially in the winter )than you can stay with me in my small hut.
Further there is a wooden house for two
and a space to camp as much as you like. (Outside toilet).
What else ...
Something practical... I am an "all eater" and do like celebrations, we produce in our region wine and tsipouro but drink occasionally (= not often). Also I am a no smoker.
Of course every one has so their own habits and should be able to satisfy them.
One thing is certain, I might not have always much but what I have to put on my table, we will share .
