Description
Hi! My name is Virág, I have a really cool daughter who is now 3.5 years old. We are big travelers; this little girl visited 35 places in her first year of life, and by the age of three and a half, she has already been on almost 30 flights. But we also love being at home. We live in the countryside of Hungary. It’s not too far from the capital, but far enough. 🥰
I work as a traditional folk artist and I also teach on courses. In the garden, we have a "cultural barn," where sometimes we hold programs related to folk arts, folk music, dance, and tales. Our home is very cozy, most things around us are handmade, with inspiring colors, paintings, and wooden furniture. We are part of a small Waldorf community with other amazing children and parents. This is the first Waldorf institution in Nógrád County, which we created together with the parents and teachers. It’s a very lovable community.
My daughter Gizi and I live a very active life; there is always something happening around us. I enjoy baking cakes, I love listening to music, Gizi likes to dress up silly, water everything everywhere, and we both love painting. Sometimes we laugh out loud, play, swing, and sometimes we just cuddle up on the couch listening to soft jazz music. Life around us is lively. If I were you, I’d join us :)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
There are lots of people in this region who have started a new life in the countryside.
They’re really cool and open-minded people who care about nature and the environment. Many of them are renovating their houses in an eco-friendly way.
The region itself is very calm and peaceful.
Just 14 km from here, there's a Waldorf kindergarten, a Buddhist community, and even a stupa.
There are beautiful hiking trails around our village — you might even see deer! 🥰
Anyway, I work on some really cool programs connected to folk arts and culture — you’re very welcome to join me if you feel like it!
Or, if you prefer, I can give you my bike and you can explore the area on your own. There are plenty of beautiful places to hike and discover.

Help
In the past two years, I've been the only adult in our little family, and it would be really nice to feel that someone is around us. Sometimes, it would be so simple — just having an extra pair of hands can make all the difference.
I also have a huge list of plans related to the barn, to art, and to the house, but starting it all alone isn’t always easy.
So, I see two possible ways this could work:
You help me with my projects — around the house, in the barn, or with my art — and then in the afternoons I can feel like, “OK, the work is done, now I can fully enjoy time with my daughter.”
Or, you spend time with us in the afternoons — play with my daughter, help out around her, or just bring some fun and lightness into our day — so I can get a bit more work done.
Honestly, both options sound really good to me! 😊
Which one would you prefer?
And I believe that if you spend time with us, you'll naturally learn a lot about nature, arts, handcraft techniques, and creative ways to solve problems around the house.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: Intermediate
French: BeginnerThis host offers a language exchange
My sister has a French family. I learned French too, but I haven’t really used it. I'm better at English — I can express myself quite well, and if we talk daily, I’m sure I’ll get even better. 😁
Accommodation
We live in a really cute, fully renovated traditional Hungarian farmhouse, which is 55 m².
If you join us during the winter, we can host you in the main house.
Outside of the winter season, we also have a small separate building near the house — in Hungarian, it's called a “summer kitchen” — and you can use it as your own private space.
The summer kitchen can be heated with a wood-burning stove, just like the main house.
One important note about food: we don’t eat anything that contains gluten.
You're welcome to eat gluten, but only outside in the garden — not inside the house or kitchen.
Any food I prepare or offer will always be completely gluten-free.
What else ...
Public transportation isn’t great from our village, but in the neighboring villages you can catch buses to other places.
You're welcome to use my bike while you're here. Just a heads-up: the area is quite hilly! I’ve biked to some of the nearby villages myself — it’s doable, but it can be a workout.
A little more information
Internet access
Limited internet access
We have pets
We are smokers
Can host families
Can host digital nomads
The garden is really peaceful, and you can get Wi-Fi out there. It’s a great spot for working from home — it’s quiet, the view is beautiful, there’s a small stream at the end of the garden, and right beyond that is the forest.
Can possibly accept pets
We have a cat who gets along well with other animals. If you're traveling with your pet, I’m guessing they’re friendly too — so hopefully everyone will get along just fine!
How many Workawayers can stay?
