    Description

    Hello! We are a swiss family with three girls (8, 10 and 13) living in the beautiful coutryside near Kraljievo since april.
    Our life here is simple and connected to nature. We have a lot to do, fixing some parts of the house, cleaning the land and doing our veggie garden.
    We also spend some times with neighbours, at the river and go once a week to the market in Kraljievo.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We still don't know Serbian, so we can't teach it — but we do know a bit about the culture, and we’re often in contact with our neighbor, who is Serbian and frequently hosts Workawayers.

    Before settling here, we traveled for three years with a caravan, and before having children, we spent a year traveling by bicycle. We're happy to share stories and experiences from those times!

    Help

    We are currently looking for a person to help Steve with cleaning the land, collecting wood, cutting grass, and other similar tasks. You should be in good physical condition.

    We are also looking for a girl to assist Sarah with daily tasks involving the children. Ideally, this person would speak French, so she could help the girls with their school exercises. However, an English-speaking person is also welcome — the girls know some English, and you could focus more on creative activities with them, such as painting, playing games, and many other fun things.

    We are looking for independent, proactive individuals. Since the kids are always around, you must also enjoy family life, which can sometimes be lively and noisy.

    We generally get up early and (try to) go to bed early.

    Accommodation

    We can offer a bed in our caravan which is in front of the house — we will be sleeping in the house.

    We don’t have a real shower yet — for now, we wash using bottles. But we hope this will change in the coming weeks!

    The toilet is basic — a dry Turkish-style toilet.

    We generally eat twice a day: once around 9–10 AM and again around 5–6 PM. We eat everything, but it depends on what’s available without going to the shop. Sometimes we get cheese, meat, milk, and eggs from our neighbors, but not every day. We eat quite a lot of vegetables, and there are always fruits, nuts, and similar snacks available.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    The place is quite remote. There is no local bus service — the only bus to Kraljevo is a 30-minute walk from here. However, we go there regularly and can take you with us.
