  Description

  Hello lovely people! Let me tell you a little bit about myself and the place you would be coming to! :)
  
  My name is Blanka and I am 62 years young! I have always loved nature and gardening, and owning my own veggie garden was always a dream of mine - so you can imagine how ecstatic I was to have finally moved into my little oasis after 33 years of living in the city. This is where I spend most of my time, working online, but also have to be in my office in Zagreb 2 days a week.
  
  My garden is an eco garden, based on the principles of biodynamic agriculture and permaculture.
  I have a 16 year old cat.
  
  Nature Park is a place of beautiful endless nature decorated with forests, valleys filled with medicinal and edible plants, waterfalls, natural water springs..
  It is situated not far from our capital city Zagreb (62km).

  Help

  Most of the summer I will be at home, a part from going to Zagreb two days a week.
  I would need some help mostly outdoors - in my garden, mowing the lawn and with small repairs around the house - fixing the fence and similar.
  I offer accommodation and food in exchange for 4-5 hrs of work, 5 days a week. Including house sitting those days while I'm in Zagreb or somewhere else :)

  Accommodation

  You would be sleeping in the main house where you have a room available with a comfortable corner sofa at your disposal, as well as all the amenities (kitchen, dining room, bathroom).

  What else ...

  I am vegetarian and only prepare and cook a vegetarian diet, but if you would like to prepare some meat for yourself, I'm ok with that as well.
  
  There is a public transportation from Zagreb to Jastrebarsko (bus or train) and then catch 2 more buses from there to Donji Ostrc to get to my place, or I can pick you up in Jastrebarsko. For a more detailed route (or a different one if you're coming from somewhere else), I can let you know through a private message if you are interested in coming!
