MOVE TO FIRITEAZ
Besides the fact that we make important steps in building an intended traditional ecovillage to host here people willing to try (and afterwards hopefully implement in their everyday life) a new way of living, the eight-decade old village Firiteaz, already inhabited by 1400 people, can become your new home anytime. If you want to leave the agglomeration of the city and start a new life in the countryside, there are houses and lands to buy most of the time.
Located 23km away from Arad and 39km from Timisoara, both airport cities, Firiteaz is a good place to settle. The climate is soft, the relief is nice, nearby cities have a lot to offer regarding schooling and employment.
More, with the right skills and knowledge, as the ecovillage expands, you are encouraged and get support to build small businesses suited to our values. Any community needs products and services, and we are not much different. All we ask is value, love and respect for people and nature in everything we do. Like this we can be stronger together than each one alone, even if everyone is ”minding his own business”.
If you think about such a big step, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us and we will objectively council and inform you concerning this.
