    Description

    Hello and welcome to !

    We are a small family-run eco campsite project located in a peaceful rural area in north-western Romania. Our place is surrounded by nature, vineyards, fields and quiet countryside life, perfect for people who want to slow down, reconnect with nature and experience authentic local life.

    The project is part of a non-profit initiative focused on sustainability, simple living and creating a welcoming space for travelers. We host people from different countries and enjoy sharing our lifestyle, culture and daily activities.

    At the moment, we are still developing and improving the place, so there are always different things to do. Life here is relaxed but active, every day is a bit different depending on the season and the needs of the place.

    We are especially passionate about nature, traditional living and beekeeping. We also produce natural honey and love to share knowledge about it with visitors.

    You will experience:
    - rural Romanian life
    - beekeeping and local products
    - campfire evenings and simple living
    - working outdoors and being in nature
    - meeting travelers from all over the world

    We are looking for open-minded, friendly and motivated people who enjoy being outdoors and don’t mind getting their hands a bit dirty :)

    In exchange, we offer a peaceful place, a real cultural experience and the opportunity to be part of a growing eco project.

    If you are curious about a different way of living and want to experience something authentic – you are very welcome here!

    Looking forward to meeting you!

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We believe that cultural exchange is the most important part of this experience.

    At our place, you will not only help, but also become part of our daily life and learn how things work in a traditional Romanian rural environment.

    You will have the chance to experience:

    - authentic countryside life in Romania
    -traditional beekeeping and natural local products
    -campfire evenings, simple living and good conversations
    -local food and homemade meals (depending on the situation)
    -meeting people from different countries and sharing stories

    We enjoy spending time together, talking, cooking, and sometimes exploring the area. There is always something to learn from each other.

    We are also very open to learning from you – your culture, your ideas, your skills and your way of seeing the world.

    At the moment, we are still developing our eco project and natural outdoor space, so there are many different ways you can get involved depending on your interests and skills.

    Most of the help is related to outdoor and practical activities. This can include:

    - gardening and caring for plants and green areas
    - helping with landscaping and improving the natural environment
    - supporting small DIY and creative outdoor projects
    - organizing tools, materials and outdoor spaces
    - helping with ecological and sustainability-related activities
    - assisting with general property improvement projects

    We always try to work together in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, sharing knowledge and learning from each other.

    There are also opportunities to help with:

    - photography, video making and social media content
    - creative projects and design ideas
    - cultural exchange and language practice

    The activities are varied and mostly outdoors, so we appreciate people who are motivated, responsible and enjoy practical work and nature.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Accommodation is in comfortable tents.

    Each tent is equipped with everything you need for a good stay, including an air mattress, sleeping mat, blanket and pillows. It’s a simple but cozy setup, perfect for people who enjoy being close to nature.

    The bathroom (toilet and shower) is shared with our travellers. At the moment we have one bathroom, but we are currently working on expanding and improving the facilities during this season.

    At the moment, we are still working on finishing our shared outdoor wooden kitchen, so volunteers also have the opportunity to help us develop and improve this space.

    The kitchen is being built as a rustic outdoor cooking area where we plan to have everything needed for comfortable everyday use.

    Until it is fully completed, we provide a simple outdoor cooking space with a gas stove, basic cooking equipment, and essential food supplies. We try to keep the atmosphere flexible, relaxed and community-oriented.

    We also enjoy cooking and eating together from time to time, depending on the situation.

    Overall, we offer a simple, natural and friendly living environment, ideal for people who appreciate outdoor life and a relaxed atmosphere.

    At the moment, we do not have a dedicated indoor workspace. Most of the activities and daily life take place outdoors, under a covered area (gazebo) or in open spaces. Internet is available, but this place is more suitable for people who enjoy being outside rather than working full-time online. If you are a digital nomad, it is possible to combine some work with volunteering, but flexibility and adaptability are important
