  Description

  Hi, I have moved recently to an eco-village in Hungary. I am alone with my dog and the house and the garden both need a good start, as noone has lived here for 10 years. So tender loving kindness is needed: such as maintenance, starting an organic garden and creating a safe haven for travellers, friends and not lastly, myself. Then, I will see how it will develop, I am aiming to creating a language/arts and crafts centre for kids, as that is something I have experience with and also there are many kids in the village from the young families, who have chosen to move to the countryside. Once here, you can visit all the other organic farms that are already set up, with animals, dairy and permaculture produce. The village is small but rather popular due to a Youtube channel that shares know-how on sustainable and traditional village life.
  I am really exited about my new life! This move was made possible by the fact that I am fully working online now and can continue from the peace and quiet of a small village. I have travelled the world extensively and during my various experiences also was a volunteer here, when I fell in love with the place. Secluded but charming, with its lively atmosphere and friendly, slow-paced lifestyle, I am sure you will like the village as much as the locals.
  There are always volunteers in the village due to its popularity, so you can enjoy both the local and the global.
  I am vegetarian.
  I am looking forward to welcoming you!

  Aide

  I need only a few hours help a day as my garden is not gigantic, I just need to kick start it. Also, as I moved a month ago, there are many maintenance issues I need help with, such as fixing windows, cleaning garden tools, cutting back vegetation and preparing the soil for planting. I am planning to use the no-dig method
