  Description

  Hi!
  
  Help needed at home October-May, through winter time.
  
  I have big family of 9 horses, dog, cat, goat and sheep.
  I teach physics at elementary schools, yes, schools, at moment four (one is highschool) and also I do antistress riding as well as therapeutic riding for kids and adults.
  During summer months (June, July, August, September) we all together move to Krk.
  
  At home we have electricity few years back, some of internet service (there are days when its not working and sometimes its slow) but water we have to order from fire department, so saving water is important. If its raining we have more water but still we have to be careful about using it.
  If you want to use water freely, its ok if you can pay for it (60 € for 5000 liters).
  You will have to get food for yourself. Kitchen is set, small but functional.
  
  We live next to small town of Samobor and Zagreb (capital of Croatia) isnt far away. I will do my best to give you transport, but my schedule is very busy.
  Food is your expense. I will organise to get you to shop, but sadly I cant afford to feed my workawayers. :( Also, I am recycling and trying to live as cheap as possible, but horses come to first place.
  As we are living healthy (or at least trying to) I can't accept smokers. Inside are dog and me, outside are horses and other animals. So, there isnt a good place to smoke. And smoking is really bad for you.

  Accommodation

  You will be accommodated upstairs of my little house, with matress. You will have nice window to south.
  Bathroom is small, with shower, and its downstairs. Kitchen is downstairs too, and we can eat in livingroom.
  I have dish washer and laundry washing machine, but keep in mind water is very valuable here. I prefer to go to Zagreb and do laundry in self-service laudry: ves4kesh. :)

  What else ...

  In your free time you can visit Samobor, very nice little town, or Zagreb if you prefer bigger city. We have very poor connection with buses but I will do my best to give you a ride within my schedule. We have beautiful hills and you can walk around too. Also we have two mountain bikes for you to use.
