    Description

    We are a young couple living in a small hungarian speeking transilvanian village and are in the middle of our big adventure of having two babies and renovating our home. We work and take care of the earth, use only natural materials for our cob house, in the beginning of our way to a self-sustainable living we grow vegetables, grain,etc. aaaand we cultivate fruit trees and roses, which need a lot of attention. So basically our main projects right now are renovating the house with traditional techniques and gardening - all that next to two awesome children.
    We both love to travel, but due to our current situation, we are happy to"travel" by receiving travellers and having exchange with foreigners. We speak hungarian, romanian, german, english and spanish.
    Between mid-December and beginning of March we are not available.

    Help

    The help we would like from you depends on the seasonal necesities of the garden. This can include nursing the breeded fruit trees, taking out unnecessary weeds, spraying biological substances for protection of the trees and other things which can occure spontanously.
    Depending on the temperature and the condition of the house, the possibility to learn the traditional techniques of cob house construction can also emerge.
    Spending time with the kids and cooking are also fun things you can do here :)
