Description
Hello lovely people.
We are Primož and Liza and we live in a beautiful place on a hill near Nova Gorica.
Otherwise, we are searching for people that are interested in staying for a longer time, maybe even live with us on the hill, all options are open, feel free to get in touch :).
There are big chestnut trees and in autumn we mostly need help with chestnut-picking and racking. But there is also a lot of other things that we would like to do/build - outdoor kitchen, yurt(s) or tiny houses, treehouses, etc. You are also more then welcome to be creative and create a project of your own. We need help at general maintainance around the house - animals, garden, nature itself. The other thing is construction work - we would like to build a tiny-guest-house, etc.
Our place is reachable only with 4x4 or by 15 min uphill walk. But here you are rewarded with a view up to the sea and beautiful landscape. Only 15 min further you can reach the top of the hill, with a watching tower and the view from there is amazing. The nearest city (Nova Gorica) is 10min car drive and the beautiful Soča river is only 5 minutes further.
We have two dogs, a cat and chickens. Hopefully we will get company of other animals also.
We eat mostly vegetarian and local food. We try to go the shop only as least as possible. Food will be provided and shared, who cooks can be discussed :)
We live in a small stone-made house. For the start you would share it with us, but hopefully in the near future we have a little guest-tiny-house.
It is a very sunny place and a good starting point for exploring a very beautiful part of Slovenia.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You could help us create and be a part of this journey! We are still gathering ideas, trying to get through raspberries and exploring the place itself! You could contribute to something completely "in-the-making". I think that's kinda cool.
Help
What you can bring is what we will use, we are not picky :). Bonus points for being self-iniciative and a nice human being.
We are the type of people who don't like schedules. You can decide for yourself how you would like to organize your time.Languages

Yes! Always happy to learn something new. It would be very good for us to learn some italian, since we live so close to the border... Also I (Liza) am a big enthusiast in learning sign language!Accommodation
Off-grid. Solar power (we have a little fridge). Rational with water. Plenty of air and freedom.
We live in a small stone-made house. For the start you would share it with us, but hopefully in the near future we have a little guest-tiny-house. There is space to put up a tent and the weather here stays warm for quite some time. We can lend you our tent and we have some extra bedding.What else ...
The river Soča is 20 min drive away from the place and then there is this whole Soča valley to explore and it is so beautiful! There is a lot of hiking and biking options all around. There are a lot of downhill trails nearby (you could leave from the house).
Plus Slovenia is tiny and we know some people all around the country so we can get you connected ;)A little more information
