Iida and Marik (together with their 2.5 years old sunshine Maru) hosted my boyfriend and me for two weeks in which we could join their rather basic but amazingly relaxed lifestyle.

Heike and Clemens stayed with me for two weeks, I really enjoyed them being here, they were really helpful and willing to offer their energy to work around the site. They helped with harvesting and processing lots of fruit and veg from the garden and were instrumental in building a lovely deck around my house. They worked well together and I could… read more

Hannah is an amazing host. She took really great care of us, prepared absolutely delicious vegan food (almost everything organic and as often as possible from their own garden), explained a lot about her designing ideas for the property, took us out on day trips... We could lent their bikes for trips in the area and we were allowed to make use of… read more

When arriving at Hanan's and Mohammed's place, I felt immedately welcome - it was like being part of their family! With Hanan's warm, appreciative and open personality I really enjoyed every minute of my stay and the helping in the house or in the garden. The work in general was easy (household support, some painting and gardening) but she really… read more
