  Descrição

  Hello, im Žiga, im 40 years old from Slovenia. I used to do quite some volunteering on farms in the past and now having my own place im happy to be able to offer space for others.
  
  This is off grid project still in early stages. I began building it last year, we made some basic facilities with volunteers, set up organic garden and this year it continues with building the house from natural materials.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  Evenings can be spent by the fire where we can also prepare some food, like pizza or something sweet. Im not very experienced with cooking on fire but we can learn together. Last year i learned how to bake bread in dutch oven and can now teach you too. I like dancing so we can do that too.
  
  This area has a lot of beautiful nature around it but its not isolated, there are neighbours nearby. Its great if you like hiking. You can also take bicycle and explore around that way. I have a car that we can use to make some trip and go to the city. We can play badminton, throw frisbee or do something else together. I can show you which wild plants around are edible. I can teach you how to carve a wooden spoon, speak slovenian, play didgeridoo,… You can experience how to wash clothes in converted washing machine by pedalling bicycle.

  Acomodação

  Living conditions here are pretty basic, there is no building on property. There is improvised kitchen and workshop, compost toilet and a vegetable garden similar to permaculture. Sleeping is in tent only. There are two tents available, optionally 3. There is mattresses and blankets.
  
  Food is vegan or vegetarian, vegetable is mainly seasonal, from the organic garden and wild edible plants that are growing around. There are also some tasty mushrooms growing here. Three meals a day and snacks in between if you need, cooking once or twice per day. From time to time i eat meat and i can cook it for you too if you wish.

  There is no electricity here yet, I will install solar power when i get someone who knows how to do it. You can charge your phone in the car or in the city. Signal for the internet is here on the property. Showering is outside, if there is sun the water is warm otherwise we can heat it up.
  
  Closest pizzeria is 3 min away by car, small shop 10 min, closest city where there is everything is 20 min by car. There is bus station 10-15 min walk away but buses dont drive often. Approximately once per week when I go to the city I can give you a lift there.

  I will pick you up at the train or bus station.
  
  I may have to leave for work for a few days in between, during that time you can stay here or go explore somewhere else.
