Description
Hello dear workawayers,
We are inspired by nature and handcraft works to improve the confort of this incredible place. We intend to build various wooden constructions such as a Dome for the campside, a Tepee for the labyrinth part, a treehouse and so on,... We are located half an hour from the main city Zagreb in middle of the nature on the hill of the mountain Plesivice. Surrounded only by nature, we are just a step away from the village and 10 min from a city wich has all you could need!
We share respect, working knowledge and our culture to whoever feels like doing the same. We use our brain to find ecological, more practical and smart sollutions for our needs.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
In middle of a traditional village , there is already plenty of cultural contact with the surroundings. Living and working in close-hands with local farmers or habitants, they learn us everything we need to know about the region, the ground, the seasons and really all what you can dream of as a source of informationto live closer to natur, again!
Help
We are for this step of the project looking for good builders, mainly with wood but all eco-friendly materials will be involved. With many parts of the project going on, each one will be givea mission and a project in the hands. Igloo building, teppee, wooden boat on dry land,...
We are looking for good minded people, social and gifted with « golden hands » and the brain that goes with it to provide efficient and smart help.
Artist willing to realize art installation like sculptures are more then welcome aswell.

Plays incredibly guitar which we miss the melodic notes now!
A great experience overall and a great human experience
Great friendly company, extremely dedicated to whatever tasks, has a great sense of initiative and take things as her own project.
I would hardly recommend her but I would rather call her back here ;)
Future is in these young smart and lovely people.
