Description
Hi!
We are Gintare and Danielius. We wanted to go travel and become workawayers, but then we couldn't leave the country because of you know what situation and we bought our own house in that time and now we became hosts ourselves!
After living in the capital of Lithuania, Vilnius, for a while, we decided to move to the countryside almost three years ago. We bought a homestead that had been empty for almost ten years 🏡
From day one we started bringing it back to life, making it cute and cozy to live in with our own hands. It has not been easy: trying to do everything on our own takes a lot of time but it's also very rewarding.
We live alone in the middle of Lithuanian fields. It's great to enjoy the quiet and nature sounds here.
Recently two beautiful and energetic cats Kimce and Spurga joined our family.
In 2025 we both changed our jobs to have more free time to work on the homestead and projects we love. Danielius is currently working part time as a youth worker and setting up a workshop for his new small-scale fermentation business. Gintare is just starting her career as a self-employed local tour guide (she will show you around and tell all the stories) and taking care of her non-profit arts and crafts (mostly pottery) community studio.
We are happy to welcome you to our adventures!
**CURRENTLY LOOKING FOR A PET/HOUSE SITTER FOR NOV 2025**
We haven't confirmed our dates yet but that would probably be late Nov - early Dec.
Around 3 week period. We'd prefer if you could spend a few days together with us before we leave.
We will be travelling so you will live in the main house.
Your main tasks would be to take care of the cats (feed them and clean litter boxes) and heat up the fireplace daily to keep the house warm.
Drivers licence would be an advantage.

Hébergement
You will live in our little summer guest house (you can see it in the photos).
It doesn't have any heating, that's why we are only accepting workawayers for the summer.
There is only one bed, so we can host either a single person or a couple who can sleep in one bed.
The guest house doesn't have a toilet/shower.
You can always come to the main house, which has: a toilet, bath, kitchen.
You can use the wifi which works more or less on the whole property.
We could also provide parking space for a van or and RV and hook it up to electricity.
Autres infos...
There is a little village with a small grocery store around 3 km away.
Closest town with a bus station is Kupiškis - around 15 km away. But there is no public transport to go there.
On your arrival/departure we can pick you up or drop you at Kupiškis.
On your days off, we can arrange to drop you off somewhere with a car.
You can also borrow our bikes to explore the area.
We are close to the Kupiškis lake and there is a beach around 7 km away.
We eat a mostly plant based diet so we are happy to accommodate vegans or vegetarians, but of course, everyone else is welcome too.
LGBT+ friendly.

Spurga
Spurga is Kimcė's mother. She is a bit older and more chill. But if you have a toy she will always play with you. Sometimes she is a little bit hesitant to meet new people but she quickly warms up.
Kimcė
Kimcė is a young energetic cat. She loves to meow a lot, which we think is her complaining about everything. She also loves to eat and sometimes likes to steal bread.
