    Description

    Hello,

    Nice that you are going to read my profile. Feel free to ask questions. You're welcome! First I tell you something about myself

    I emigrated from the Netherlands to Hungary. I live in a probably 100-year-old mud house with 60 cm thick walls. I love the outdoors and I have a good workplace with tools. Together with the two black cats and a sweet, quiet, human-friendly dog Evá (Berner Senne), I enjoy living here in the countryside. I like to cook and do odd jobs and gardening in my vegetable garden. I live remote in the village of Nagyszakácsi in the province of Somogy. There are medium size cities in the vicinity. Lake Balaton is less than 30 km away. Budapest at 180 km from here. I like to visit (junk) markets in the area. On Sunday morning I often visit the market in Nagyzakanisza. Usually I eat the delicious Hungarian sausage there. Will you come with me? I like to learn something new and I also like to share experiences and knowledge with others. Doing something new is a challenge for me. This year I want to make a garden house with a clay oven under the walnut trees. Will you come and help me? I live here to get to know other people. Before I came to live in this area I visited many countries in the immediate area such as; Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. I'm a traveler.. You can take the train from Budapest to Balatonszentgyörgy. A beautiful ride right along Lake Balaton. I'll get you off the train in Balatonszentgyörgy.
    In 2024 various activities such as maintaining a vegetable garden, moving the lawn, weeding, brewing beer, sawing and splitting feul wood and more.
