    Description

    We are a Dutch-German family embarking on an exciting new chapter in beautiful Croatia. Together with our two children, we are settling down and building our new home on a piece of land. It’s a blank canvas with lots of opportunities, and there’s plenty of work to do both around the house and on the land.
    We are looking for help either with the kids, or on the land: building with wood, painting, or helping out with creating a fruit and vegetable garden.
    You can sleep either in a glamping tent or caravan. There is water / electricity / internet / shower / toilets and beautiful nature!
    Also we can provide healthy vegetarian food for you.

    We are passionate about living organically and want to inspire others to embrace a more sustainable lifestyle by eating locally and naturally. We love sharing knowledge and are excited to create a space where people can learn, connect, and grow. In the future, we hope to offer creative workshops to bring even more life and creativity to our little corner of the world.

    We are located at the beautiful rural countryside of Croatia. Our area is known for 4 beautiful (turquoise) rivers with clean water. You can raft, kano, SUP or swim.

    Luckily infrastructure like train/ highway/ FlixBus station is not too far away. (within 10 km) - we can pick you up from these stations. Nearest supermarket is a 5 min drive away.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We offer a unique cultural exchange experience where you can become part of our family and daily life. Sharing meals, stories, and experiences is an important part of our home. You’ll get to know both Dutch and German traditions, as well as explore the beautiful Croatian culture and nature with us.

    We love exchanging ideas and learning from each other, whether it’s about sustainable living, organic farming, or creative projects. Also I am by profession a photographer and my husband is a carpenter, so if you wish to learn within this field, it’s possible!.
