    ---Introduction - About us

    HI!

    We are Ioana(35), Vlad(36) and Aura (2) and we live in a peaceful village near Orastie, Romania.
    We moved in about 2 years ago from Sibiu. We are trully grateful to be here and we want to make our lives
    better by living in nature. We bought and old house and improved it so that in the future we cand make a guest house.

    We are learning a lot since we moved here, because you know, it is a huge difference
    from couch NEflix to hands-on countryside.

    We both had our great experiences when we lived in cities... we traveled the world, we improved ourselves by working for
    companies and had different professions (Hr Recruitment, Kids Party entertainment, Tour guiding, even Software Tester (lol)

    We are passionate about living in nature, enthusiast in gardening and we seek responsible, skilled volunteers
    for medium -term commitments.

    If you’re serious hands-on work, and staying at least 2 weeks, I’d love to hear from you.

    I invite hardworking people to help with practical projects like

    - stone tasks - creating new walking paths in the garden
    - gardening - planting and taking care for existing ones, watering the plants -
    And I want to make also a flower garden and transform our "Near the house garden" in a more pleasant one
    - general maintenance.
    - little help with our kid
