  Help

  The year 2023 will be special.
  April + May: Lots of seed and seedling planting, tree planting ceremonies. With primarily volunteers who come individually.
  July + August: as smaller groups of up to 12 people will/can come, and you can also join us for a summer festival (Valley of Arts - Kapolcs). Between 21 and 30 July 2023 (2-5 nights).
  
  My main intention is to establish an orchard with different fruit trees and bushes. I want to conserve the old varieties of apples and pears. And create areas of native and exotic trees too.
  
  I have been volunteering regularly since 2017, so I have a lot of experience. Volunteers have been coming to me since April 2018. Since 2009, we have also hosted many travelers.
  
  We want to build a greenhouse/walipini too in 2023, planting more and more vegetables as well. For example: red onion, garlic, beans, peas, pumpkin, tomato, cucumber, eggplant, parsley, lemon grass, basil, aloe, fennel and carrots etc. We practice Permaculture. Chemical-free crops - health of soils, making compost, underground rainwater storage, cistern.
  
  The main goal is self-development, learning (more&more science), not the rigorous performance. Help time is flexible, summertime: ~7:00-10:00 + ~18:00-20:00 (four-five hours per day, 1-2-3 days totally free per week).

  This host offers a language exchange
  When we were young, we learned Russian before 1990, but we forgot it. After that, my destiny would have been to learn Spanish from 1991, but I have only been learning Spanish since 2017. I have been learning German since 2013. I spoke a lot of English in connection with my work in tourism, so that's how it goes. My knowledge of French is minimal, but I understand a few things.

  What else ...

  In the area of Zalaegerszeg-Hévíz (thermal lake, spa, pools and old forests).
