  Description

  Hi, we are Damir & Ana (39, 33).
  
  We live in a beautifull forrest, in a clay -wooden house. :)
  
  Also, we are part of an eco viliage Blatusa in Croatia.
  Our goal is to live a life worthy to remeber with graditude and respect. We would like to grow most of our food and are making steps to be self sustainable.
  
  To be honest, we like to work, and the style of life we have chosen asks a lot of it, especially because we try to recycle and make as less garbage on the way as possible.
  We love to host motivated people who can balance work and rest, and one of the most important things for us, is to be open in communication.
  
  Besides all the work and comunication, we do like to have fun and play instruments, have jamming sessions, sing in the evening next to bonfire! :)
  
  If you would like to support this way of living by helping us on our projects, feel welcome to contact us, and we will share our knowledge and experience with you! 🥰

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  You will have opportunity to get experience how it looks to live in the forrest, helping us build with natural materials, using solar panels for electricity and rain water for showering etc.. We do cook mostly traditional Croatian meals without meat. So, if you like adventures and different style of living, houses out of natural materials like clay, this is a place for you!

  Help

  The work we do, depends on season and time you come. Sometime it's hard to tell, but in general.. We gonna need you to help us with some gardening, building with natural materials or just to cook while we work on something. There will be for sure a lot of small tasks like chopping the wood for winter, or cutting the grass, maybe even some digging... Anyhow, we wont lie, some days can be harder then others, we depend on seasons and weather.

  We had one volonteer from Venezuela, really nice guy who was struggling with english, so we decided to learn spanish with his help while he was here. It reminded us that when we want to find a way to understand eachother, there is always a way! 🙏🏼❤️ We do like to learn new languages and share knowledge of croatian language as well.

  Accommodation

  You will be sleeping in a room with a seperate kitchen and shower. If outside is nice and warm tent is also an option (during summer). We cook and eat breakfast and lunch together, other meals are prepared as we agree.

  What else ...

  We live in "eco village", where we try to create healthier and more ethical environment to live in, with as less garbage as possible. But with that comes also opportunity to meet differentnand interesting young people. Also, near by there is a monument on Petrova Gora wich you can visit, that os 10-15km away from our home. And pools and sauna in terme Topusko 10km away from us.
  
  But in general, in summer we prefer to go to clay lake that is near by (3km) for a refreshment! :)
