  Description

  Hi! My name is Kata, I live in Hungary in Budapest, the capital city of the country. I live together with my small adopted daughter, she is in kindergarden. We live together, just two of us. We have a very friendly cat, named Mango.
  It is very expensive to mantain this rented house, we cannot afford it, so we plan to move to countryside. There is a little village in the Gerecse mountain, Vértestolna, where I would like to renew a small house, to can ensure my daughter's future.
  We both like traveling, hiking in the mountains. I visit a lot of places in the world and I was volunteering also with workaway. Now I am opened the welcome you in my house, and show you our culture. I hope you will have a great time :)

  Help

  In march 2023, one of my friends will start to renew our small house I mentioned, and we will need help in the construction projects. You can help us in any part of the construction, which is good for you. (making the walls from mud, wood-projects, fixing the windows, or just help in cleaning). It will be a traditional hungarian house made from mud. You can also help in gardening. We have a very large garden, and lot of help in there.
