About Me

I'm currently living on a Greek island of Crete where I earn my living as a graphic designer and I also do various part time jobs.

My dream is to build a sustainable community here, so I'm always interested in meeting new people, learn new skills and share stories. I discovered that nothing makes me more happy than live close to nature and work together with like minded people, so I try to chase this dreams as best I can.

I have some experience with garden chores. We've had a garden in my home in Slovenia, so I would regularly do stuff there and I've also helped on bigger farms.

I really love the DIY principles and I'm always looking forward to learn new skills in any type of construction and renovation. I have renovated and old warehouse to a habitable flat two years ago, when I was still living in Ljubljana and did all kinds of stuff - wooden frame building, a bit of plumbing, electricity (with the help of some skilled friends though) and tile laying. I couldn't describe myself as a master of any craft, but I'm eager to learn and grasp things quickly. This would be my preferable type of work as I really enjoy it, but I don't mind working other things too.

I also love to cook - vegetarian or non vegetarian meals and I really enjoy the feeling of people eating together. Especially here in Greece, where meals are really a nice social and enjoyable event.

I would prefer to stay in places, where I could be more than a tourist, doing work for a free stay. I'm genuinely interesting in the ways people live and in a social and spiritual aspect of mutual project work.

I will be happy to answer any additional questions you might have about me. Thank you for taking the time to read this.
