La experiencia

Hi! We are Anna and Gex, a family of three living in beautiful Southern Austria, near the Slovenian border. 🇦🇹

I work as a social worker, and my wife is a kindergarten teacher. Alongside our jobs, we run a 2.5-hectare homestead, growing much of our own food. We have a fruit orchard, vegetable garden, and chickens, and even our little daughter loves helping with as many tasks as she can! 🌱🐓

Programa detallado

We have volunteered in different parts of the world ourselves and know exactly what volunteers need to have a rewarding and fulfilling stay. 🤝

Our homestead is located in the hilly "Sausal" area of Southern Styria, at the foothills of the Alps — about 40 km west of us. While the land is not mountainous, it’s full of steep hills, so a basic level of physical fitness is important as you won’t find many flat spaces here. 🏔️

We offer:
🏡 A private room with a double bed, desk, private bathroom, and a private entrance — located in the basement (cool in summer, well-heated in winter). Note: The space has limited natural light.

🍎 We value healthy living and mainly follow a vegetarian diet, occasionally eating meat sourced from our homestead or direct neighbors.

🎶 Music is an important part of our lives! Anna plays multiple instruments and sings daily with our daughter. We love sharing music moments with our volunteers — whether around a bonfire or during everyday life.
