  Please note: it is very important to us that you read the whole profile until the end before enquiring, thank you!
  
  -------------- LAST NEWS --------------
  
  We would love to welcome a person, preferably a woman, from mid August till end of September when Marta will be here alone with little Saša. Good company, (pro)positive approach, smiling :) We'll do gardening, harvesting, cooking, preserves, foraging and more. If you feel artistic, there will be space for that, too. A big plus if you enjoy playing with a lovely little girl.
  Until mid August we host volunteers as usual.
  
  ---------- END OF LAST NEWS -----------
  
  
  WARMEST GREETINGS TO ALL WORKAWAYERS!
  We are family of five: Marta (38, Italian), Michal (43, Czech) + Mia (7), Elio (5) and little girl Saša (1).
  Just started to live our dreams here - in adventurous and wild greek mountains, close to the seaside, offgrid, homeschooling, with good people around.
  
  ARE YOU.......
  - a couple or a solo traveller?
  - a family, maybe even searching for a place to settle down… isn´t that place here? :-)
  - a person who can enjoy time spent with kids, willing to offer them activities, games, arts and craft session or whatever you might be able to share with them to enrich their daily routine?
  - someone with carpentry skills, or other practical in general?
  - a nature lover who doesn´t mind outdoor life, dirty hands, insects and not having the comfort of a city or even a village?
  - someone who enjoys cooking (healthy food possibly)?
  .......then this might be the place for you! :-)
  
  WHAT WE HAVE HERE TO SHARE
  - One hectar land with a small house (only one big room, now in renovation). On the land there is a beautiful stream, a lot of big walnut trees, an apple/plum orchard, a little pond that is also a live source of water from the bottom. Compost toilet, outdoor shower (cold water only – but with sun the water goes wonderfully warm). It is a wild paradise for children, and adults, surrounded by mountains and a lot of green and water, streams and waterfalls.
  - Best neigbours! :-) A Belgian/Dutch couple (Steven&Chenny) who started their permaculture/community project Liveloula already 12 years ago. Fantastic place. You can check them on Workaway. In the closest village Seliana there is the ecoculture-center Re-Green, a great place, too. We have a quite lively neighbourhood of friends here around: people from all over the world, about 20-30 living permanently here around, many more coming and going, especially in the warm season. Meeting, sharing, helping each other, doing music, playing board games, partying…
  - The only element missing here are --- families with kids! That´s why in the future we want to attract children in many ways, and Workaway families with kids are also very welcome. We will be also happy to share the land with a family!
  
  SOMETHING ABOUT US
  Marta: I am a full time mom, love nature, foraging, wild herbs, arts&crafts, yoga, singing, dancing, adventure.
  Michal: I am musician - piano teacher and choir director. I love outdoor work, biking, hiking, green jasmine tea.
  The kids: very lovely, very loud, very wild, often challenging, a bit dirty. They are homeschooled, so they are all the time around.
  We have moved here just very recently (February 2025). We are now at the beginning of our adventure. It is very intense, challenging, fermenting. About finding new rhytms. We are growing through many fall downs and stand ups again. Best self-development course ever! :-)
  We feel that this place and its surroundings (people included) has a lot of potential for future projects, summer camps and a lot more.
  We will be very grateful for an additional pair of helping hands, either in devoting to kids or helping around the house, with cooking, gardening or in building projects.
  
  HOW YOU CAN HELP US
  Any specific skill (like carpentry, permaculture gardening...) or experience with kids is very welcome but is not a must. What is the most important for us is that you really come with the will to contribute to the place and to share a piece of life with our family as a member of it. Including also the responsabilities that come along.
  If you feel creative in any way, or have any special skills you might contribute with, please mention it, your fresh ideas will be very welcome!
  Main projects for the upcoming days, weeks and months:
  - reconstructing the house: installing new windows and doors, insulating the building for next winter (wood+straw+clay), closing the terrrace with a wall, making a floor (wood, clay). For this we have friends here to lead the jobs.
  - garden joys (making new beds, planting, weeding, watering...)
  - kitchen joys (taking care of our fermented stuff, cooking, making miso, homemade pasta, gomasio, preserves, wild salats...)
  - smaller building joys: wooden platform around the toilet, sandbox for kids, rope playground, welding iron doors, making simple wooden shelves for preserves, paint our compost toilet, making a sieve for soil, restore an old table, making a box for sawdust, a sandbox for the kids… or whatever else what you would like to make.
  - preparing firewood
  - teach something to our kids :-)
  
  TECHNICAL THINGS
  Accomodation is in a tent. If you dont have your own, we will provide, as well as mats/matraces/blankets etc.
  Cars, campervans, caravans and similar are also welcome, we have nice spots for it.
  Our altitude is 750m above sea level. Nearest village is Seliana, 1 km from us. Nearest city is down at the coast – Akrata, cca 40 minutes by car from us. There are supermarkets gas stations and all the shops.
  If you are without a car, come by bus or train from Athens (very good connection, it takes about 3 hours). Go to Akrata, there we can pick you up.
  There goes no bus to us here to the mountains. We usually go to the seaside once a week, we can offer two or three free spots in our car. However, if your main passion is the seaside and you would feel sad without having it more often, this is probably not the place for you.
  There is no wi-fi here. Data signal can be poor here but there are spots which are good, even for videocalls. Recently we bought a small sim-router, so actually – some wi-fi exists :-) But not too fast.
  You can use all our spaces like the member of our family :-)
  If you contact us, please start your writing with „HOWGH!“ So we know that you have read our profile till the end.
  Aaaaaand – please contact us if you would like to stay at least about one month.
  
  Have nice days (and nights!).
  See you around!
