    Description

    Ahoy travellers,

    if your journey leads you to these lands and you'd like to experience nature and some peace on one end and an intense little family on another hand, here we are 😋

    My daughter (4 yo) and I live in a cute little old house at the end of a beautiful village, followed by forest and hills. there is a river just across the street from us and a lake on the other side of the hill. We have a cat with her 4 kittens, a few chickens, ducks and soon will bring in a lovely dog (hopefully). Days are active but slow paced, doing lots of stuff around the house and playing or taking walks in nature.

    There are usually lots of little projects, work in and around the house, the garden and the babysitting part.

    I used to hitchhike a lot, did quite a lot of workaway myself as I travelled to different places and took part in lots of projects.

    At the moment i'm focused on my own inner development and cultivation and at the same time laying the foundation for living properly, mothering as best as i can and taking care of Life in and around me.

    Basti is usually in kindergarten during weekdays until 4:30pm and i'm usually working at my desk for a few hours. If you know yourself to be good and patient with kids, you can do some activities with Basti in the afternoon, teaching English, playtime, taking walks, things like this.

    If you like cooking, that is also very welcomed. I enjoy cooking but it'salso nice to share this part. Usually, we take early dinner around 6pm and then i put Basti to sleep at 9pm, sometimes 10pm during summer tho.

    I'm not so good at giving instructions so, if you are proactive and take initiative based on observing what is needed and doing it, i will appreciate you even more. From this standpoint, there are lots to do in the house as well as around the house, if you're more of an outdoors person (gardening, building, maintaining, chopping wood...stuff like that)

    You will have your own room in our house and we share the kitchen and the bathroom.


    So, welcome to drop me a message if you'd like to stay with us and i'll let you know if there's any ongoing project that i need help with. For me, the ideal stay is 2 weeks, however, i have some flexibility around it.

    There is plenty of beautiful spots to explore around, either by walking or in short distance by bus. We also have a car and we can take a road trip together.

    There is also lots of space for yourself to chill and/or explore the area. If you're more sociable, we can hung out more, if you like alone time, you can take all the time and space you need. I am very flexible in this regards.

    looking forward to meeting you 🤗

    lots and pots of love,
    Sosan & Basti

    there's always a lot to learn in each experience. I myself am a hypnotherapist and a tarot reader and we can dive into that. You can learn a lot from being around a 4 year old, from experiencing life in the village, from observing, from getting involved, from reflecting on each day.
