    Description

    Hello fellows,
    Sveiki mielieji,

    I (Austėja) and my mum searching helping hands in the forest and around the house .

    I am a graduated music teacher. Have done a bit of travelling (Europe, Asia and US) in the world with couchsurfing and alone. For every summer I settle down and enjoy the life in the really nice place in the South of Lithuania (Dzūkija). Its my great grandparents land from which is really less left and now it needs more time and love to maintain. You will definetly and directly fell in love in the nature there. Especially that our landhouse is surrounded with forests and lakes.

    We do have some work to do: collecting branches, cutting trees, building a fence, cutting the gras and also simply works in the around the house. So if you are a strong or a clever (or both) person you are welcome to contact me.

    We had already people staying there but trought couchsurfing.

    I am becoming a lot requests of the time that I am not hosting, so I assume you dont read it properly...these requests I wont reply.

    God bless you
    Sudiev

    Can possibly accept pets

    you are welcome to have your dogs, hamsters, but cats I woudnt reccomend cause they often flew away to the forest and then its impossible to find them. I am speaking from the experience. Dogs need also to sleep inside in your camp. I am not taking any responsibility of your pet health and etc. It is in your responsibility. The pet just has to be friendly with us and the other people living around.
