wanja :
Anil is great. really good. food good. cat good. chicken yes. rooster 06:30. dog 50(. nature beautiful. weather bad. toilet cold. shower hot. work hard for little maryam.

We stayed with Anil for two weeks in March and had a great time.
Anil became a good friend after a very short time. We miss him since we left. He is a very authentic,… read more kind, smart and funny person and has a great sense for community and living together.
He has a great project and it is really enjoyable to help him level up his off-grid life. We build a chicken coop, did some land work and helped with several other things like his new mushroom cave.
He gave us a camper which was really cozy especially on the rainy days.
If you enjoy simple good life close to nature with great company you should visit Anil in his kingdom.

Maryam:
Anil has such a simple beautiful life , He makes you feel comfortable and safe , he looks after you and really care about you . he doesn’t fake his kindness , he shares his lifestyle with volunteers and motivate them in many ways .
Him and his mother cook very delicious food with high quality ingredients and spices .
I loved that he used to call everybody to have meal together, we talked for hours and we shared our stories.
He is a wise and soulful man.

We stayed there when the weather was completely unpredictable and were raining most of the time and also it hailed ice, I love this kind of weather , so I really enjoyed . the nature were rough and worth observing . there was a pond , with 3 frogs , i used to listen to them and watch them in distance , they were really beautiful and cute , if i had more time i really wanted to write a children story and painting for his child .
He is a real feminist , he cares and respects women.
i’m not used to physical work so it was a bit hard for me and he respected that.
He has two veryyyyy fluffy squishy cats , that will sit on your shoulders sometimes(really!!) and a nice dog which is a bit sick right now, hope she will get well soon ! and when we were there he got 6 chickens and a rooster! the rooster flew away for a day and i was really surprised to see a rooster is actually can fly!! so i really enjoyed watching him :))) and then chickens ran away so we had to look after them with lamp in the rain , so many cool adventures;) but good that finally they went to their new brand chicken coop and loved their new home 💕🥳

(Wanja jumped on my head , i can’t focus anymore :)) )
Thank you Anil jan , big big big hugs !🫂 😍

Wanja and Maryam stayed with me for two weeks. Together, we experienced the excitement and joy of producing, building, and welcoming new animals. We also shared beautiful meals, games, and conversations, opening the door to a meaningful friendship.

They’ve become the kind of people it’s hard to say goodbye to, and I already miss them. Wishing you… read more

After a long time of traveling this was the perfect place to come to and recharge my batteries (literally). First of all I felt welcome from the first moment and it's a great place to socialise. Everyone in the team is super lovely and I got to meet amazing people who also volunteered in the time of my stay. The place is beautiful with a lot of… read more
