Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I am keen to learn more about Croatia and the local area. This is the main wine-growing area and the flat countryside is ideal for cycling. There are two bicycles available. We can also explore the area by car and Zagreb is easily accessible.
Help
Help to remove all unwanted items and transport them by car to the local tip. Then clean the downstairs room and add some simple furniture.
A dry toilet and waste water disposal will be thought through. A wood-burning stove can be fitted.
Assistance with some of these tasks would be appreciated so any building or carpentry skills would be put to good use if you have any.

Accommodation
The house is basically a one up and one down, 5m x 4m. There is a bed in the upstairs room. Further accommodation can be provided downstairs or a 6-man tent can be erected on the grass.
Also, there is a possibility that the next door neighbour will let us sleep in his summer house when he's not using it.
What else ...
The local countryside can be explored by car and bicycle. You can get a Flixbus from Vrbovec to the capital city Zagreb for 6 Eur and the train is only 3.60 Eur.
