    Description

    Hi, my name is Daniel. I live on a country side last few years. Actually on a hill which is very well road connected with other places. Sometimes just standing on it I could ask myself where am I because on a top of the hill there is a feeling that you could easily touch the sky with your hands while beneath your feet the earth stretches for miles in pastures, fields, plow lands. And everything between is circled with green forests and woods.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Near by is an Eco Village where it can be seen how people live together with nature, also a monument Petrova Gora which can be seen from my estate (8km away by car). Little bigger village is also 8km far by car with shops, bakery, market...
    4km to nearest bus stop, grocery store and a bar. I hope that we can share a lot of interesting stuff, not only cultural with interactions throughout a day tasks but also in a free time. In a small town 20min. drive is a hotel with a restaurant where we could go and grab some pizza. No cooking meal that day :)
    Workawayers can benefit in a cultural exchange with knowledge of Croatian countryside life, diet and customs. Also they will benefit with getting skills of how to live simple life without usual comfort of city life as a kind of off grid life. They can learn also through everyday interactions with me a lot about life through life coaching especially how to accept and overcome their own life challenges. I love to speak about life not only as it is but what life can be if we give ourselves the opportunity to live it by our ways.

  • Help

    Help

    Help is needed with almost all basic jobs in and around the house. Keeping the place nice and tidy. Examples: Cutting grass using trimmer or lawnmower, Stacking small logs in a log storage for firewood, landscaping, fencing, weeding and watering the garden, making simple meals...and enjoying rest of the day.
    All tasks are very easy to do and simple to learn.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Although there is still tasks to be done on the house, I have brought it to a state of comfort for living. The volunteers would be accommodated in the house. They would have a guest room for their privacy, and we share the kitchen, living room and toilet.
    I mostly buy food from people in the village, except for what I produce myself. We will have one meal (lunch). Volunteers can make self breakfast and dinner when it suits them, from the groceries in the house.
