-------

Hi, bonjour, i've been living in Banjaluka since 2003 and i really love Bosnia and Herzegovina. This year, because of Covid 19, and because i started a one year training, i m staying mostly in France. That's why i'm looking for serious and trustable people (i would say 2 people would be better) to take care of my house and my garden from april.
As i'm not home i can't provide anything else than what is already there. There will be no food provided, but there is also not a lot of work involved except for keeping the house in a good state and doing some gardening so that you have plenty of time to enjoy the surrounding area and activities.
It would be better if the volunteers can stay on a longer basis, from 1 to 3 months.
I chose that house because I love being in the nature, i do like rock climbing, cycling, slacklining, hiking.... i'm a real outdoor personn. i 've been hosting people through other websites for yeeeeears. There is no water now in the house, but there is electricity and wood heating. The city is only 10km away and there are city buses going by. If you are interested, send me a message and we can figure something out.
Until March, Yamil from Nicaragua was staying in the house, i can put you in touch with him so he can tell you about his experience there.

Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
AS I M NOT IN BANJALUKA NOW I LL ASK SOME FRIENDS TO SHOW YOU AROUND AND I LL BE GLAD TO GIVE YOU SOME TIPS
i ll be glad to show them around, to help them with their activities with locals. There s a lot of climbing around here, rafting, great place for nature lovers . Also if you like to practice your french or your bosnian or your english, that's the place for you! I also have 3 bicycles i can borrow to volunteers if they maintain them in a good state. i'm fond of outdoors actiivities, i love to slackline, to do acrobatics/ acroyoga / circus and to hike but also to party :)

Help
THIS PART OF THE PROFIL IS NOT UPDATE AS IM AWAY NOW
i'm looking for someone who can help me to make a rain water collecting system as i dont get the city water to my little house on the hill.
i'm also looking for hard working people who can help to move some earth to turn a steep garden into terraces (and build a wooden wall with wooden sticks)
I would love to build a DIY sauna or a swedish bath.
i would prefer someone with experience in one of this field.

What else ...
Bosnia is a pretty new climbing paradise thats growing every month, with more and more climbing routes everywhere. The house to be renovated is 3 kms away from Tijesno Kanjon, and 1,5 hrs away from Pecka. Hitchhiking works well to move around also and people are very friendly. There is a rafting center in front of the house, and the other place is right in the city center, so its easy to go anywhere in the city from there.
Also if you do practise highline or slackline, bring your gear, there are a few spots where u can put your highline around the house :)
There is an Internet access(with a sim card)

I

i would be glad to host people on a longer term, if we are on the same vibe (having a sense of respect for nature, a not to fast way of life, healthy habits etc) so that there are more foreigners in banjaluka, and so that we can develop some projects together. Why not.
thanx.

careful about registering in bosnia when you sleep at someone's place (and not at hostel,hotel..) you should register (that's compulsory but..)

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Till now, i've been mostly hosting, much much much more hosting than surfing,now i must admit that i am less hosting than before..because i am also very happy to see that there are much much more hosts in Banjaluka now than in 2008 or whenever i joined CS and it gives the chance for travelers to meet local people :)

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

i used CS only a few times as a guest, but i´ve been hosting soooooooooo many times ! and i really agree with that blog http://www.francistapon.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=61&p=548#p548 .

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

oh well i think i'll once again say that it depends on a lot of things but living is quite amazing, isnt'it?

Teach, Learn, Share

i'm trying not to waste too much, so please try to do the same when you are my guest (reduce your trash, dont use plastic bags, or re-use them, dont waste water, electricity, etc..)

Maybe i m in accordance with that
http://nopod.blogspot.com/2007/11/whats-ecotarian.html
(here is a copy paste of that blog)
"(For us being ecotarians) means that whenever we make a decision about our consumption (be that of food or any other product) we try to consider a whole myriad of ethical issues that relate to the impact of our choice on the earth. These issues include:
Whether or not the product has been produced locally or whether it was transported half-way across the world to us.
Whether or not the product was created using slave labour (or sweatshop labour) or whether it was ethically or fairly traded.
How much packaging is used and whether the packaging is recycled and recyclable.
What kind of chemicals were used in the creation of the product or whether it is organic.
Whether the product is cruelty-free (in that it contains now animal products and was not tested on animals).
Whether or not we actually need the product or whether we are simply consuming for the sake of it.
How much energy and water was required to create the product.
Whether the product is brought to us by a corporation that is highly unethical in its business practices (such as Nestle, Coke or Monsanto).
And, well, you get the picture...
This may seem like an incredible pain to some people. It may seem like it would involve a life of constantly reading labels and standing, frozen with indecision, in supermarkets aisles. However, it is really not like that. Like any lifestyle decision it is something that becomes a natural part of your day to day routine. Good brands and products become familiar and what you buy becomes second nature.(...)"

THANX !

What I Can Share with Hosts

can't tell in advance..i guess, a place to sleep for a beginning...?!

i would be glad to host people on a longer term, if we are on the same vibe (having a sense of respect for nature, a not to fast way of life, healthy habits etc) so that there are more foreigners in banjaluka, and so that we can develop some projects together. Why not.
