Hello,
this is a place where you can learn how to build with natural materials, such as hemp, soil and mud, and organize your surroundings in a more sustainable and nature friendly way.
Lodging is available either in a mini mud house, comfy trailers or a tent.
There is an organic garden, a pond, and help is needed in various natural construction and house maintenance activities.
The estate is situated on a mountain Kosmaj, an hour drive from Serbian capital, Belgrade, in wonderful natural setting.
I practice a blend of Tibetan rejuvenation exercises, yoga and stretching
so maybe you can join in these.Tipos de ayuda y oportunidades de aprendizaje

I hold MA in English language and Literature, and French was my second foreign language. I worked for years both in tuition area, and in international projects, as well as tourism, and I express myself with ease in English, French, Russian, Serbian (Serbo-Croatian, Montenegrin and Bosnian).Alojamiento

You can dip yourself in the pond, though. Cooking and eating in the outdoor kitchen or in the house, showers in the in the house, or outdoors.
Comfy outdoor toilet, too.
I try to cook healthy, I like vegan and vegetarian approach, but not adamant about it. including occasional poultry, fish, seeds, grain and home made products. Eggs and cheese come from free range chicken and village goats. We eat together.
There will be copious breakfasts and dinners, with snacks in between, but if you have a different feeding habits, we will adjust. .

Or should I better say I half hosted him, as he sleeps in his comfortable van that is also a display of his skills.
Within a rather short 10 days stay, he finalized some difficult tasks such as making wooden door frames and fitting them into a hand… read more

I particularly liked his sense of humor, and I am sorry that there was not enough time to hear him play the guitar more, as it was lovely.
We did a lot of mudding and carrying stuff around, some of it was a hard physical work, but Tomas is always willing to help.
Welcome back!

She will dedicate to work in her own rhythm when explained in detail. We shared many hours talking about our cultures and the world, and there is a lot that one can learn from her about China and… read more

Highly recommended!
Always welcome back.
Richie is a pro when it comes to wood works and carpentry (I am sure with other stuff, as well, but there was no time to check that, during two weeks of his stay), and we clicked on the subject of esthetics, on top of many other things. Windows, single doors and massive sliding oak… read more
No response, I saw that she was active on workaway.
I sent another messagw to check if ahe is comimg at all, no response.
I am disappointed, and my plans are disturbed, as I refused three other volunteers,… read more
I wish he would return, share his talents, hard work, laughs and yoga expertise.
Highly recommended.
At first, as his health was not at its best, so he was taking it slow with the work, but still contributing by playing guitar, and making tasty ciabattas. He participated in all the house chores, and I felt confident leaving the animals and the house with him.
Although he stayed only a week, if feels like he did jobs worth much longer.
Always in good mood, easy going and careful with animals,
respectful of house and life in nature, great topics for conversation.
Skilled with tools and wood work, although metal might be his thing, I simply did not need that… read more
He may not be in his best when it comes to physical labor, but he listens and learns,
Being a born entertainer, he will contribute much more in places with more people,
and where more social skills are needed.
I wish Ozgur all the best.
I got lucky that she could join me in one of the hardest times, with unexpected loads of snow, with puppies growing, with one of the dogs getting seriously sick, on top of many other things that were supposed to be done in spring - gardening, seeding, planting... and house chores.
She did it all. I think I would not… read more
as well as in a bit more creative activities, including mud work.
I believe she can be a great help in any environment, she is a fast learner, and not being afraid of new things.
Vesna is a great host, we had perfect work and chat balance! that plus quality food, a warm bed and lots of pets made my stay absolutely enjoyable

They are very skilled, each in his field, with an eye for a detail, and finding solutions for every (sometimes tricky) demand I had.
Making food for them was no fuss at all, and they stayed in a trailer, sometimes with temperatures going seriously under zero,

Very fortunately it worked out and we stayed almost five weeks. This place is "under construction" and continuously evolving. We have never come in contact with hemp as a building material before and this house was very inspiring to us, so was… read more
Vesna is the perfect host.
There was a wide variety of work for me to do and I was very pleased to do anything Vesna asked of me.
My accommodation was a very comfortable caravan and although there was a heater, I never needed to use it.
Vesna prepared wonderful food and went over and above to make me feel welcome. She… read more
I would have them again, and hopefully some day they will return so that we can enjoy our time here again.
We stayed 3 days at Vesna's place, because a workaway's friend was going there and we wanted to accompany him, have the opportunity to meet Serbs and see countryside of Serbia. But what beautiful days in this place... we were not disappointed! Vesna is such interesting and caring person. Vesna welcomed us in her… read more
Their contribution to my estate is visible in many ways.
Excellent ideas, solutions, hard work and gentle behavior.
I hope they will some day return to see the fruits of their labor, and to enjoy it, too!
Vesna always asked about my needs and prepared healthy and tasty meals. I lived in a comfortable trailer. The job content is not complicated, there are many different things to be done. If it weren't for the rain, I'd like to get as much work done as possible.
Vesna took me to fancy a restaurant and a… read more
The words I would use to describe her are
She is patient, low-key, calm, responsible, trustful, simple, flexible, open-minded, warm hearted, good listener, down to earth,.
and finally, a person, that makes me feel I have a new friend in another part of the world.
