Description
I'm Hungarian by nationality, and a volunteer by heart, I had many amazing experiences by giving my help to communities and farms. I enjoy interacting with children - and I love animals. I prefer rural life and all the challenges that come with it. I'm good at mucking out, animal care, painting buildings and walls, gardening, weeding, picking. I love physical aspects of work and creating something new. I would like to learn more about building wooden constructions - stalls, houses and anything else. I love literature, art galleries, football, hiking and sports. I'm a balanced mixture of outdoor and indoor person.

Claudia and Stefan are truly inspiring people, they have the know-how in many things. It was a pleasure to see the many sides of life in daily action - building project, animal care, gardening, beekeeping and so on.

The volunteers lived in the beautiful yurt, we worked in the garden, in the local bakery and collected rubbish in the forest and in the village. There was a lot of time to enjoy ourselves. Dima and Alya are warm hearted and brave people, who threw the city life away… read more

I enjoyed my work in Miass, Masha is an amazing person to work with. She has a crazy habit, tough. She wants to do all by herself and you have to pursuade her to let you work longer hours.
