Cultural exchange

What Makes It Awesome? / Why Choose This Place

Are you a solo traveller looking to immerse yourself in new perspectives and meaningful connections? At my home , you’re welcomed into a personal home where cultural exchange and shared experiences are at the heart of daily life. Learn from others, share your traditions, and enjoy new ways of living together—all while surrounded by the breathtaking landscapes of the Soča Valley.

We’re building a home life rooted in creativity, collaboration, and respect for nature. Currently, our house and garden is an on going project—projects that grow and evolve over time, offering opportunities to share ideas, learn, and explore. Each year, our vision for cultural exchange and friendship deepens, and we warmly welcome friends and cultural visitors from around the world to connect, share, and experience life together.

Note: this is a private home, not a business or rental, and stays here are offered only to friends and cultural visitors.

I’m an artist, designer, and paraglider originally from Scotland. I love the outdoors and have spent years traveling—most recently in the Soča Valley, where I fell in love with both the scenery and the local community. You’ll often find me flying my glider or working on projects around the house and garden, ready to share the space and experiences with friends and cultural visitors. I’m a creative thinker, maker, and designer, passionate about reimagining the way we live, share ideas, and connect with one another. I work in all sorts of materials and thrive alongside other creative minds , everyone is equal — we don’t see visitors as “volunteers” but as fellow travelers in cultural exchange. Our aim is to share values, exchange ideas, and co-create a welcoming, vibrant space. Long-term, I hope to collaborate with artists and designers, grow food and flowers, and explore wellness practices like yoga and meditation together. Anyone who joins can expect respect, collaboration, and a warm, open environment where creativity and ideas are valued. Important: this is a private home and cultural exchange space, not a business or guesthouse. We do not host volunteers, and we cannot assist with visas — this is purely a personal, cultural exchange experience.
