Lika Lodge

We have a house that is open for sharing with friends.

It can be used for short stays, retreats, as a nomadic base, for “digital detox”.

It is available for free (like free software: high-maintenance, steep learning curve, favors function over form, you are free to use it & modify it, but you also have a responsibility to contribute, and to share it with others – with dormouse, with extended family, and with the community of future users).

How to get there

Plans for the Future

We might organise another LikaCamp in 2018: let me know if you are interested!

Even longer term, I would like to attract many people to come and live In Lika, in that area, with us – in a commune, or in a village, or in the little town; in the rural area, in the mountains, on the farms... It will take another 5-10 years to achieve this dream, do join if you like it too!
