    Description

    Love learning and experiencing the process. Personality test shows ENFP-T so new helpers and workawayers fuel my enthusiasm and will bank and help me stay on track.Slowly and spontaneously moving towards some kind of fluid village where we would produce and eat heaps of organic food, create and express, live as natural as possible, be free to come and go and call this place a home. Open to using both old and ancient methods and ways, but also new technology all the way until the discovery of pike, ax and showel 🪒⛏️🪓
    It's a bit of a joke but I do tend to profess survavalist/primal or even post apocalyptic mindset. Not a prepper, but prefer to be ready. Enjoying the process and valuing my own produce and that of the neighbor rather then buying in the store.
    The house is slowly getting additions of kitchen, bathroom, running water, new roof. Also in place of an old barn we are, with the help of God, building an exercise yoga and meditation shala. Many things to do here, much grass to cut, eggs to gather, tinktures to make and few goats to milk. Versatility is the word! 🙉 Notice: I do not sell my produce nor make any money nor profit from this homestead. Primary goal for now is making this place enjoable and comfortable for helpers, workawayers and myself, not for business but solely for private home purpose. Enjoying each step in gratitude.
    I do have unlimited WiFi on my phone which I can share with you anytime, preferably at evening when chors are done, just remind me and remember that these devices are in truth not made to connect people, often quite the opposite (this beautiful website being an exception).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I do daily stretching, body maintenance and sitting meditation (za-zen ). For you is optional, but useful to have some sort of spiritual foundation for each day in place. Living quite active, and often go to Zlatibor, Užice, Sevojno, even Belgrade, hop on for a ride and explore the area with me. Been a host on helpX for ten+ years with mostly positive experiences and all the positive reviews😄. And been a helpxer myself so I might have a feeling of what is working. I played basketball trough my youth and traveled the world with it, I can teach you few moves if the time permits.You will be able to learn or experience with hands on simple construction, planting fruit trees and garden, milking and goat herding, making kefir and cheese. Picking up and learning about wild edibles, teas and tinktures. Also the mushrooms if it happen you are in season. And much more...

    Each person is good and useful for something. Or as Blake said: "better alive dog then a dead lion" If you are skilled and experienced I ll be happy to learn and assist you. If you are just starting on the road of self reliance I'd be happy to direct and share with you some basic tips and knowledge. As long as there is willingness to create and do, things will work out. Ideal helper is self-motivated and responsible. Tasks on the farm are various. From feeding and caring for animals, planting garden, to building simple sheds, barn, cabin, outdoor stairway, picking raspberries, collecting and drying wild edibles, mushrooms...list is too long and each day is like an adventure!

    You ll have your own room with bed and sheets. There is aso an optional room in a yoga shala or above it. If you are thinking of long term commitment, we can discuss the possibility or even buying the land nearby. Ideally we would eat together two meals a day. I like to "earn" my food, so doing something before we sit down to fill our stomachs would be nice (whether be work or exercise). The meals are vegan/vegetarian (and fish is not a vegetable last time I checked 🌞). I try growing as much as possible of my own food and getting fresh organic produce locally and from the neighbours. This year I downsized the garden because it's easy to get ambitious and then overwhelmed later on. Also if we have enough hands there is plenty of fruits in the village that we can pick up, mostly plums, cherries, pears, and apples...

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I milk daily by hands, make cheese and kefir. You are welcome to learn and get involved. There are also few cats which are kept outside of the house.
    I like to balance between planning and going with the flow. During the time off you can hike on the old Roman road that passes next to the house and goes through many valleys and forset and also by the small river down the road. River is cold and clean. Another bigger river is just few km away, Rzav, one of the cleanest in Serbia. Place is quite picturesque, goats are lovely and the nature is beautiful🌻🍀🙏
