  Description

  Hi! My name is Monika and I am psychologist, mountain guide, nature lover and artistic soul.
  
  From August 2022 I am the owner of the old property set on the edge of the forest, with old wooden hut, stable, garages and barn in the village called Granne (Podlaskie voivoidship) in Poland, where I invite you!
  
  I am living there with my old big dog, so it will be nice if you are not afraid of animals.
  
  There is a lot of peace, wild nature and freedom. This is the rural area with sparse human neighbourhood.
  
  I try to run permaculture and renovate old buildings here. Someday, I want to launch the space for artists - the space where creative individuals or teams can feel comfortable and free to create and practice without any distractions or judgement.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I can show you how it is to renovate an old buildings and property. I am living, let's say, in an alternative way - I rejected more comfortable living conditions, I don't really care about running hot water or having walls inside the house, I am a women who is doing a lot of "men's" work.
  
  A lot of people told me that it is inspiring what I am doing so I think living with me for a some time could be interesting and maybe showing some another perspective for living.
  
  I will be glad to spent time with you on talking, walking, cooking or doing another kind of activities, of course if you want it too, during that you can experience another culture.

  Help

  I need some help around the house and the garden, like: chopping wood, building raised beds of stone for permaculture and creating soil from a straw and a manure, carrying something from one place to another, watering plants, organizing the space, fixing something (3-4 hours a day, 5 days a week).
  
  I also want to learn Italian, so if you are able to teach me, feel welcome :)
  
  I will be very grateful for your help.

  Accommodation

  For accomodation I can offer you the big tent that is set up inside a barn, so there is always a shadow and a dry space around the tent. Inside the tent is a materace for 3 people, bedding, pillows, cozy lights and some shelves where you can store your stuff. In front of the tent, inside a barn, is a table with chairs and some shelves, so you can comfortably eat there and spent time during a day.
  
  If you have your own campervan, feel welcome! There is a lot of space where you can park your vehicle.
  
  You can also set up your own tent or hammoc. No problem. There is a lot of nice spots
  
  Bathroom - there is one, set up in the old stable, with: running COLD water, toilet (to drain the water you have to use bucket), bath, sink, toilet paper, basic cosmetics, kettle.
  
  Electricity is availiable inside the old stable.
  
  There are some outdoor facilities you can use - place for campfire, grill, tables, benches, trampoline.

  What else ...

  I can give you a lift from or to a bus/train station/shop/for sightseeing etc., no problem, but you have to know that I'm working full time in a town close to the place, so I am not always available to give you a ride so own car highly recomended - there is no public transport.
  
  I can borrow 1 bicycle, if you like.
  
  Thelephone range is perfect so you can work remotely.
