Description
Hello!!! :-)
We are Bram And Ema ( and Fabian) Bram is from Holland. Ema is Romanian ( and Fabian too)
We like to cook, read, travel, make beer and bread and occasionally ride our motorbikes.
After 25 years working as a chef, running a campsite seems perfect as a second career. I run this campsite since a few years now. I found Ema( or she found me) 3 years ago, and got married last year! Now we live together in paradise and with our kid Fabian.
In the past I worked in Amsterdam, Chicago, Rhodos, but mainly in Haarlem(NL), where, for the last ten years, I was a chef of a gastro-brewery-pub where I learned to make great combinations of beer with food, but also I learned how to brew a beer, which I try to continue here in Breb on a small scale 😉
Ema is from Satu Mare, she used to word as a tooth technician . She lived in France, where she had the joy of giving birth to Fabian. She likes to meditate and giving holostic therapy.
Enough about us! What else?
There is a fantastic restaurant next-door( Local 148) and there is also a really nice restaurant around the corner(Breb & Butter, follow the blue signs), so there is no need for me to cook for a lot of people in the summer.Making my guests having a good time, feeds me with energy though!
On the campsite you might see some dogs. Tyghi and Bella are nice and love evryone( except for some farmers in the vilage)
Also cats! :right now we have 4 I think! Rex, Linux, Spaghetti and Sfynx. And 7 chickens, but we did not name them yet, for obvious reasons
In Breb, the people are really, really welcoming, and always ready to help. Especially my neighboors made me feel welcome and help me with a lot of things, especially the technical stuff around the campsite and the woodwork.When you walk around the town, you will meet some of them!
It feels especially good to share this experience with so many people, who visit this part of Romania! Hopefully you will feel as welcome as I did coming here!
We really appreciate that there are people who want to do this kind of work/vacation-experience, when traveling and learning and enjoying new things in life! If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us!
We will offer you a decent salary for the hours worked, plus a bed in a tent. Plus a discount at our neigbours with a restaurant :-)
And of course you can drink coffee, tea, enjoy our home cooking etc!
We hope to welcome you at out little place in Romania!
By the way: we are pretty easy to reach with public transportation, but I do not mind taking a little trip to pick people up/bring people to stations or somewhere :-)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can hike and bike and explore the hills and mountains and of course the beautiful village of Breb and its surroundings, play with my cat Linux or my dogs Maan and Tyghi . Or just relax in one of our hammocks, read a book and enjoy the views, sun and village life!
When I have time, I produce beers, bread, cook some in a dutch oven or otherwise cool stuff. Also for me, this is a new way of living and I still learn a lot from everything and everyone around Breb and surroundings :-)Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage
This host offers accommodation and payment.
Help
For this coming season we are looking for 1 or 2 helpers (preferably a couple/friends), who can help with mainly cleaning and tidying the hostel, bathrooms and small outside kitchen. You don't need to work a lot; the cleaning part takes place at the end of the morning and will take no more than 2 hours . So this leaves you with lots of free time to be active in the area. Maybe we will also do some gardening and painting or so :-)
We will offer a wage of 1000 lei per month for 6 days a week

What else ...
Because you don't have to work a lot, you will have lots of free time to discover the beautiful village of Breb, hike in the surrounding fields and mountains, and explore other parts of traditional Maramures and even do a day trip to Ukraine. Of course you can also relax in the big garden in one of the hammocks, or do some reading, writing, painting or whatever you like while enjoying the views all the way to Ukraine.
