    Description

    Hello!I'm Lucian,my wife Ramona and my daughter Daria.We are 40 years old and Daria's 11.We also have a dog,a malinois girl which it's still a very young one.Also around 6 cats.That's all the animals around,but there will be a lot more in the future.
    We are in the small village of Bugeac,quite a remote one 1 km away from the Danube if you walk over the fields.The main road is 2 km away,but there's tarmac all the way.The biggest village close to us is Ostrov,6 km away.Next to the village is the Lake Bugeac,quite a large one.The area is very beautiful without any source of pollution. A lot of clean air,the sky is amazing in nighttime.
    We have a lot of work to do in the garden,a lot of transformation is needed. The property is 6000 square meters,from which 4000 is vineyards. The house needs a lot of work too.But even like that it's a very nice place,with all the comfort you need.We still don't have a bathroom in the house;at the moment we are working on it.Thanks for reading.

    We travelled around the world in the past,especially working on cruise ships. We lived 9 years in UK as well.We have a lot of knowledge of history and geography,including of the area around.Dobrogea (the area of Romania where we are in) it's a very intercultural place,with a rich history.The Black Sea is not so far away also,about 1:45 hours driving,and we are visiting it a lot.

    We need help with the garden,with the vineyards and for the moment help with the construction of the bathroom and all that is related to that.We need it done before the winter is coming.There are different small tasks around the house too which includes some natural construction knowledge. We are beginners in that.
    Also I will start digging to create a Walipini greenhouse;It's gonna be a small one in the beginning,but in the end will be around 200-300 square meters. The fences around the property needs to be redone as well,most of them in a rammed earth technique.
