  Description

  "One who lives well lives unnoticed!"
  
  I am Tudor (45), a human that chose to leave behind the city in search of a simpler life closer to nature.
  During winter, I read books, listen to podcasts, learn what I feel like, and wander in the forest with my dogs. When there is no more wood I gather some. When I miss my family I call them.
  During summer I work at my mud house, maybe do some gardening, take care of my surroundings and enjoy nature with friends. When there is no food I go and buy some. When I feel like having a break I just lie down in the grass. When there is nothing to do, I do nothing.
  
  "Divide and conquer" is the name of the game in today's society: every one for himself, no cooperation, permanent growth, no care for the environment, no compassion and no spirituality. This is not sustainable, this is not the future that I want to build for our children. Let's try this: united by purpuse not divided by self preservation.
  
  We can make a difference, either from the top down hoping that it will trickle down, or bottom up setting up a fire that will heat everything. For the last 5 years I have closed neither, now I chose the latter since that will come from the people, from cooperation, from community.
  
  An eco-socialist mindset will be a great beginning for a conversation. Learning from the mistakes of others, using consent, knowing our neighbors, learning from nature while living off the land, guiding our kids to grow, impacting the society as a whole, sharing the knowledge and resources, are the essence of an intentional community that I would like to build with you, because a good life must not be only for the privileged. Join me, let's do this together!
  
  For more details you can ask the links for my web page/facebook page, instagtam page. For a preview of my place, ask me for a link to my youtube channel, where I have a video that i made in the summer of 2024.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  You will have the opportunity to spend time in nature and experiîence the beauty of a simple life. My home is located in the forests of Mureș county. I have no close neighbors and we are surrounded by forests, meadows and a river.
  
  If you are in search of a community that you can build and be a part off this might be the place since the greatest value that you mighy add is you.
  
  I would like to find out your story and tell you mine, stay around a fire singing and playing musical instruments, talking about books, philosophy, traveling, hiking, biking, and sometimes just listen to silence.
  
  You can practice languages like Romanian , English and French that I speak very well, and Italian that I speak a little.
  
  Hopefully there will be other volunteers at the same time so we can learn from each other and enjoy their company.
  
  For a wider view of this place the villages are not that far so if you know some English or Hungarian you can know the villagers.
  
  And since happiness passes through your tummy, we should cook traditional foods and experience interesting tastes.

  Autres infos...

  My land is 3 and 5 km away from the nearest villages (Ghindari 5 km and Solocma 3 km) and you are welcome to use my bicycles to explore the area.
  If you would like to visit a more populated areas there is Sovata, Târgu Mureș, Sighișoara,, Praid, Corund, Crișeni and many others.
  
  Sovata is a popular health resort and is 15 km away by bus from Ghindari. Here you can walk around several salt lakes like Lacul Ursu (The Bair lake) , take a boat on Lacul Tineretului (youth Lake), hike around the salt mountain, and take a ride on Mocăniță (a steam train), have a bath in salted water outside in a lake or inside at a spa..
  
  Târgu Mureș is the seat of Mureș County in the historical region of Transylvania and is 45km away by bus from Ghindari. Here you can visit the old fortification complex, the arts museum and the hall of stained glass windows, go to classical music concerts in the opera house or to the theater.
  
  Sighișoara is a very old medieval town 1 hour away by car. Here you can visit an old town up on a hill still surrounded by fortification walls and all of the towers. There are churches, schools, restaurants, souvenir shops and a great cemetery with a beautiful view of the surrounding area.
  
  Praid is a salt mine 1 hour away by car. Is a tourist destination and a health resort.
  
  Corund is a craft village 1 hour away by car. They are specialized in pottery and with dome luck we can visit a workshop to see how it is done.
  
  Crișeni is a small village 30 minutes away by car. In here they have a straw hat museum. The craft is alive and they are still creating hats from straw of a special wheat that they plant each year.
  
  But if you ask me what I enjoy, I will recommend you to take the dogs and randomly hike the surrounding forests. There are thousands of hectares of forest with many hills and valleys, forgotten trails and great panoramic views. And if you are lucky, you may see some wildlife under the protection of my trusted dogs.
  
  I do not enjoy much visiting cities but once a week you may convince me to accompany you to Sovata or Târgu Mureș but i love more to hike the surrounding hills
