Description
I am a quiet person, not for crowded places. I enjoy woodworking and gardening in my small botanical garden. I like to listen to audio books while weeding, so I "read" quite a lot as there is lots of weeding to do ;) I also like hiking and traveling, but to less crowded places and not the most turistical spots.
I live in a small village Spodnja Kungota, near the second largest city of Slovenia, Maribor. The location is quite close to Austria - just around 12 kms. I planted first trees around 25 year ago and I bought some more land (10.000m2) just after covid to plant some more ;) During covid I made pathways through the garden and in the last years I started plating ferns and other perenials along those pathways to make it more interesting. I am always happy to have some help for the work in the garden and of course ideas to improove it ;)
I like cycling, but I do it with a recumbent and not a normal bicycle. I prefer the comfort of the recumbent seat, but the best advantage is the view you have while cycling the hills. If I have a choice of a flat road or a hilly one, I will certainy choose the hill. I have done traveling in the past, but can not do it at the moment as I can not be gone more than max 3 weeks due to my company... I have to work on a solution ;)

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We can visit interesting local sights in the area. Do hiking in the local hills, exchange cultural, travel and work experiences. I will be glad to show you woodworking, explain about my gardening experience and would enjoy learning about your experience and perhaps even some new skills from you.
I have my own company selling woodworking tools, so if you would like to learn anything about that, I will be glad to explain my ways and experiences.
Help
Help in the botanical garden and around the house is always welcome. The positive side of having a big graden is, you can always choose what you want to do that day ;) We can also do some woodworking if you would be interested. Or if you like sanding, I can arrange for a lot of sanding as I am not really keen on that :D
