    Descripción

    Open minded newlyweds trying to live differently in the countryside.

    My profession is designer, but I can not stand the rush, noise, stress in the city, so I have changed my lifestyle in something beautiful here on peaceful land surrounded by nature to create my own world. I love to dig my hands in the ground and eat what mother earth provides. I love to breathe fresh air and to connect with nature. I am inviting anyone who loves nature, gardening, self-sustainable living, eco-building, arts, music, hippie lifestyle, self-expression, creativity, traveling, healthy lifestyle or just happiness to join me.

    I live with my husband in an old farm. We have very simple (and old) home that we want to rebuild one day. So do not expect something much or luxury.
    I am a hands-on creator, whose love language is service to others. I have found my lifes passion- hospitality. I am building (literary) my dream world in the mother natures corner. It is a quiet campsite for soul travelers. I have 3 yurts and a spa area and can host 6 persons.
    I am interested in esotericism and self develpoment. I love to take care of people through latvian sauna traditions and sound meditation. If you love the books "The power of now" or "the secret" we might have a lot to share about.

    My hubby, Edgars, is a programmer. He is mostly spending his time at home, working. I hope he would work less, enjoy more, but it is his life. So he will not be much involved. It will be me and you. But we can build a world together! ♡

    We do not have farm animals (we have our mice control- a cat) and I do not eat animal products. But I can cook the most delicious and nutritient full plant-based (vegan) meals even for skeptics.

    We live very close to one of the most beautiful Nature Parks in Latvia and we could have a tour there. Or, if I don't have time, we can organize you a day on your own to explore those beautiful trails. You will have a bicycle for your use and the bus stop is not that far.

    On the property also lives a friend of mine, whos passion is viking and pagan culture. He is a beer brewer. He is calm and settled guy and helps me a lot here. He also is growing the hottest chillies in the world and makes hot souces, that you will have to try.

    You can learn through doing about eco-friendly gardening, building. I can teach or exchange some delicious vegan recipes. When it is right season, we are going to forest to pick berries and mushrooms- I can teach you about edible plants for eating and medicine. You can get to know and practice our paganic traditions, culture. I can tell you a lot about our early history and hopefully show how different our culture is from other Europe. If I have time, I can bring you on a hike, drive around region. Big part of my life is outdoors- so bushcraft, camping and being in the nature is all part of it.

    I would appreciate help around the house and garden. We just had our wedding so our property has been left aside a bit.

    As I have some health problems and can not do such heavy jobs anymore (hopefully just for a while), I would need help with pretty much everything I do around here. But I am a great teacher if you wish to learn working with powertools. Here will be a list of the tasks you could be asked to do:
    - some light renovation for the tiny house that you will be staying at
    - mow the lawn
    - cut fallen tree
    - clear out bushes with trimmer
    - help to make whipping brooms for sauna rituals
    - clear the area (there are some old greenhouses that needs to be taken down and all kind of old stuff around)
    - clean out the barn
    - gardening (build raised beds, dig ground, plant and seed, pick weeds, water plants etc.)
    - sometimes cooking
    - foraging at season
    - helping with hay harvest
    - some other tasks that I can not think of now

    Of course, you need to take care of the place, where you will be staying. I do not care if you clean daily, but you will need to leave the place as you received it.

  • Alojamiento

    Alojamiento

    Your own tiny house with a view to fields- complete solitude and peace.
    At the moment we have finished only the basics (there is a house with bed and electricity, some basic furniture), but hopefully with your help we can make it cozy with building small kitchenette, painting walls etc.
    Shower is shared at our house. You will have an outdoor wild bath next to tiny house- heated with bonfire under. And there is a composting toiled near.

    Food. You will need to take care of your breakfast (I will give you prepared oat mix, that you just need to add hot water on top and let is soak). It will be easier if we do not have to adjust our morning rituals and wake up schedules. So we will meet later when everyone is awake, ready to start the day.
    The lunch will be by our home and you will have ready-to-go dinner to enjoy in the tiny house. Sometimes we might have a dinner together if the weather is nice, we want to make a bonfire and everyone feels like having an evening together.
    Coffee and tea is always available.

    We have mosquitos (typical for this country) and bugs. There are a lot of wild animals. If you are lucky- you will see deers, foxes, rabbits, badger, snakes and cats from neighbours home. If you are traveling with a pet- welcome!
    Bed linen, towels, shampoo and soap is provided.

    We will have spa days (max 1 time per week) when I don't have paying customers there.

    About our home. The farm is very old and nobody has lived here since 70s. So do not expect much- we have made it prettier from inside but could not call it "renovation" by what you could expect. We do not have a running water from tap- there is a well. We do not have flushing toilet- it is composting and outside. We have made a shower but it is also not fancy. But it works, has hot water. :)

  • Algo más...

    Algo más...

    In your free time you can hang around here- slack-line, play music, make art, try our trail in the swamp to magical oasis lake where a lot of birds gather in spring. Walk or bike to the nearest village (they only have 1 shop and cafe). We have a few bicycles that you can borrow. With bicycle or bus you can go on a day trip to closest town Sigulda (it is very famos from all tourism brouchures), it is also located in National Park, where you can see the biggest cave in Latvia and have some great hikes with lot of sightseeing, see one of the oldest medieval castles. There is also short hike quite close with picturesque views. Sea side with very popular beach town is 25 km away from here. We can go there by car or if you are in good physical shape you can go there by bicycle (the road is flat and straight). When there are some interesting events in this region, we can drive there by car.

    And we have decided to have age limit. Sorry! (: So you have to be at least 23 years old (because we are not so young anymore) and it just feels like we could have less in common with people who have just finished highschool. But if you can convince us with your previous experience or story of life or mindset, you are still welcome to send us a request (we have had good and bad experience with young people).

    We do not have a place to empty toilets with chemicals but you can use our composting toilet. We could also arrange electricity but then you need to park your home close to our home.

    It can be any type of pet as long as you can take care of it and make sure it doesn't do any damage (if this happends, you will need to fix it or pay for it). And you need to clean up after your pet - the poops that are in disturbing places and clean the fur.
