    Description

    Hello everyone,

    We are family of 6, me , my husband, our 9 month old baby girl and 3 cats. I am portuguese who came to study in Zagreb in 2017, long story short I met my husband which is croatian and now we have a baby. :D
    We live in a beautiful house, in a beautiful location, in nature. And we are slowly starting to grow our vegetable garden, but we need help with our baby so I can spend some time working.

    We are both very relaxed people, going with the flow most of the days, so we expect someone with similar vibe.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    We are very close to beautiful trails to hike in the mountain Japetic, but also in the valley. This location is perfect for nature loves as its a village with not much to do except hiking (which is what we love about this place).
    Sometimes our neighboor has wild herbs foraging workshops, we could check before the schedule.

    From our village we can catch a train to Zagreb, which is only 35mins long, then you have access to all the kind of stuff that a big city has to offer.
