  • Description

    Description

    I live in a small country farmhouse with two bedrooms. The house hasn’t been modernized, but any repairs or additions are done using natural materials. Water comes from a well just outside the house. I have three friendly dogs who are part of daily life here.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The people in the village are kind and welcoming, often sharing their knowledge of plants and mushrooms, wisdom passed down through generations.
    There is a monastery nearby, as well as many others in surrounding villages. If you are inclined toward spiritual exploration these sacred sites have a transformative energy and can resonate deeply.

  • Help

    Help

    The work is creative and flexible. It might include taking care of the garden, gathering leaves or grass, or helping with small projects around the house using natural materials. Sometimes it’s driving to nearby places, documenting what we do, or helping with short term house sitting tasks.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    There are two bedrooms in the house, and you will have your own room. Both rooms have their own separate access to the outside and connect to the kitchen.
    The house is simple and not modernized. The kitchen is basic but has what you need for everyday cooking. Water comes from a well outside, and there is a compost toilet.
    I try to keep things comfortable, but life here is simple and close to nature. We also have a car, so getting to nearby places is possible when needed.
