    Descrição

    Hello traveler,

    your help is needed here!

    My name is Jennifer and I live on this homestead with my three little kids (7, 5 and 1). We are German but also speak English and Swedish. I speak Spanish too because I was living in Spain for a while. The kids also speak Dutch, I only understand it. My Romanian is okay, I guess. I understand more than I'm able to speak.

    Next to my online work as a (ghost) writer I like being in the garden, playing board games or collecting and preserving foods. Also some wild herbs around here I can recognize and teach you about. To all my kids I gave birth at home which is why I'm knowledgeable about natural/ free birth.

    In our valley we are surrounded by beautiful people and nature. There is a lot to see and learn here if you are looking for a peaceful and natural environment. On different occasions the families and friends in our valley meet and share some moments.

    Some years ago the father of my kids and me started out as volunteers for our current neighbors. After a few days of volunteering we decided to stay and build our homestead. Now we are separated but the homestead still stands and needs tending. That's why we need you! :) I try to do as much as possible on my own or with the help of friends but more helping hands are very appreciated.

    Things you could help with are the garden, kids, household but also building projects are on the to-do-list. Right now we have some cats, a dog, a goose and just a few chickens left. (The foxes around here are pretty hungry.) If you are interested in those kind of things feel free to write and be our guest.

    But know that our homestead is pretty basic. In the kitchen we have running water so the dishes can be washed easily. For washing ourselves we usually use rainwater and a little tub but there are other ways too. Pretty close-by there is a small lake which invites for a swim. In the rainy seasons there is a stream about 50 m from the house.

    The house is not connected to the grid but we have electricity from our photovoltaic system so you can always charge your electronics in the house. Our internet connection is a good one too if you need to do some things online. We also have a washing machine and a fridge. But: Warm water we don't have yet. On our land you'll find a well and a compost toilet. The well is inactive right now. That's why we get our drinking water from the spring in the village which is like 1.5 km away. No worries, we go there by car. ;)

    At the moment there is no structure available for volunteers to sleep in. But there is plenty of space on our land so you can always find a good spot to pitch your tent. Pillows, blankets, a mattress and sleeping bags can be provided.

  • Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    As we are foreigners in Romania, we can't give you much of Romanian culture.

    What we hopefully can provide, is some food for thought and inspiration in regards to how or why to start on the path of self-sufficiency. We don't follow any specific prepper ideology or religious dogma, rather we try to be realists and look at the world as it now stands, and plan our steps accordingly.

    Ideally, you will be pushed at least to the edge of one your comfort zones during your stay here, it might be physical, mental, emotional or spiritual. Either way, we hope that we can serve as a catalyst in some way for your continued growth as a human being.

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    You can choose to sleep in the loft of the new building which does not have walls yet or to put up a tent in a spot you prefer. We recommend you to bring your own sleeping bag as it can get cold in the nights. Also warm clothes and good shoes would be preferable for autumn/winter/spring.
    We can provide you a mattress and blanket, plus a tent if you wish. If the road is not too wet it is possible to get up here in your campervan.

    We are living off-grid surrounded by nature. The electricity comes from photovoltaic panels, the drinking water from a well, the firewood from the woods. For washing we usually use rainwater or go have a dip in the lake. Our toilet is a compost toilet.

    Electricity and Wifi are available in our house. Of course food will be provided.

  • Algo mais...

    Algo mais...

    We are in plain nature, no big streets nearby but many paths to hike!
    In the village down the hill (1.5km) you can find a small shop, where you can connect to the locals or just spend some time off.
    There goes a mini bus from the village to Orastie, where you have more variety of shops and entertainment if you're looking for that.
    Hitchhiking from or to Orastie is the easiest option.
