  Description

  Hi my brothers and sisters , we are located about 50 km from city of Karlovac towards south west, just 6 km away from Bosnia and Herzegovina.On 4 acres we take care for small forest,small fruit plantation,
  We are; my girlfriend Klara, 4 dogs(Gregor,Pis,Lav,Bak) and our cat Rogi , myself and my mother who is spending half of the time here and other half in Germany. I am here most of the time with dogs while Klara is coming on weekends.
  We are spending our time here working, resting and enjoying and maybe a litle fun.
  This a beautifull part of Croatia also known as Kordun. It´s full of small rivers, forests, valeys and hills with rich history.
  We have many ideas for the future projects like builting a dog hotel,fence and a lot more on our property.
  We are trying to grow some of our own food.
  There are many seasonal jobs here,somethimes it is wood choping,preparing food for winter,colecting plants and fruits,choping grass,planting ,watering,building stuff,and a lot more.We are vegetarians and cook plant based but sometimes there is some meat in the fridge and you are welcome to eat it.
  Most of the time,breakfast is fruit,eggs from our neigbour Nadas chickens, bread , jam, oats and whats in the kitchen you can take like its yours. For lunch we cook meals and sometimes need volunteers to help with kitchen chores. Dinner can something you find or can be leftovers from lunch becouse we try to respect food and not waste it.
  We are also interested to learn about a lot of things from diferent cultures. We would like to exchange knowledge about natural medicines, construction and language. We would like to share knowledge,wisdom and hapines with people .
  
  We speak only croatian and english for know
