Description
Old boy needs some help in kitchen, home and garden
I'm convinced, that all humankind will be HAPPY, and the biggest PROBLEMS in the world will be SOLVED, when the most of people will be LIVING RURAL in their OWN HOMES, eating their OWN grown FOOD and producing they OWN ENERGY.
And of course: having an quick internet connection, too. ;)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can enjoy beautiful Croatian NATURE.
You can discover our old Central- and SE-European CULTURE.
You can learn about (Catholic) Christian RELIGION.
Help
I need a help to repair old wooden house (carpenter skills).
Instead of bodybuilding in fitness centre, You can workout by helping me to plenish the garden and to build stone walls for terraces (muscle power skills). :)
I would like to build an permaculture garden, but I don't have much clue about it. It would be great help if You have experience with it (gardening skills).
You can help me to upgrade a Joomla website from ver. 1.2 to last version (high Joomla skills).
If you don't posses these skills/superpowers, don't worry, there are still enough other ways for a "little help from friend", like painting the walls, cooking, etc. :)

What else ...
You can enjoy huge (at least 100km²) forest (straight away from house) over karst hills for long walks or bike rides in peace and harmony with the nature & it's Creator.
There are four beautiful rivers nearby (Kupa, Korana, Dobra, Mrežnica), perfect for swimming and for bike tours along side banks.
You can visit Karlovac (12km away) and Zagreb (60km away). I'll be glad to guide You, if I have time. We could make trips together to the mountains in Gorski Kotar (60 km away). Perhaps also to Adriatic coast or to famous Plitvice lakes (both ca. 110 km away).
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
Internet connection is sometimes a little bit slow, so it would be difficult to produce a well synced live jam-session / gig from here to your music fellows in California or Australia. :) But it's good enough for home office and video chats.
Space for parking camper vans
There is room for one or two camper vans.
Can possibly accept pets
Cats, dogs and even horses are OK. Rats, snakes and dragons are not. ;)

His friend Alexandra is a professional restaurateur and can fix your precious antiques. 😎
They've visit us as a last minute, but stayed just for an one day. 😕
I hope they will come again. 😊
She was very helpful and cultural exchange with an intellectual American girl with Bulgarian roots was very interesting.
One week with her was just to short.
Nice greetings and best wishes !!!
He is sort of walking Wikipedia for history, politics, tank-types, movies and PC games, so you can learn a lot from him.
He likes to help, will do everything, you don't need to tell him something twice. Just dish washing not seem to be his… read more

He was really kind & welcoming, he’s also an excellent tour guide :)
The Village is a gem and it has such an interesting history! Plus Jerry’s house is really cool & he’s a really interesting guy with a lighthearted and happy outlook on life!
Hvala Jerry for an amazing experience 😊😊
You never need to tell her what to do, she always knows what has to be done.
And if it happens that you tell her to do something, you'll find out, she has done it already yesterday. :D
Hard working, perfectly pedant, very kind and with nice sense of humour. :)
We wish him all the best.
Cata and Dani
