Help build Bosnia's first off-grid eco-camp — one camper, pure nature

A solo traveller's dream space, built by hand in Blagaj — one of the most beautiful corners of Europe.

The place

800 meters from the Buna spring in Blagaj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, there is a piece of land — 500 square meters, surrounded by nature, with a view that will stop you mid-breath.

You may know Blagaj. The ancient tekke (dervish monastery) built into a cliff above an emerald river. The spring so clear you can see the bottom. One of the most visited and photographed places in all of Bosnia.

That is where this camp will be.

The dream

I want to build a tiny, organic eco-camp for one camper at a time.

Not a hotel. Not a resort. One tent. One guest. Total peace.

The camp will be fully off-grid:

• Solar panels for electricity

• Composting toilet (no sewage, no chemicals)

• Rainwater collection and septic system for waste water

• A vegetable and fruit garden — guests eat what grows there

• A simple outdoor kitchen

• A place to sit, breathe, and do nothing

No noise. No crowds. Just the sound of the Buna river and the birds.

The problem

I bought this land. I took a loan to do it, because I believed in this dream.

Now the land is mine — but I have nothing left to build with.

I am doing this alone. No company behind me, no investor, no team. Just me, this land, and the belief that the world needs more places like this.

What your donation builds

Every euro goes directly into construction. Here is exactly what each amount covers:

AmountWhat it pays for
€10 Seeds and soil for the vegetable garden
€25 One solar light for the camp
€50 Rainwater collection barrel
€100 Raised garden bed, fully planted
€200 One solar panel
€500 Composting toilet — the first and most important facility
€1,000 Outdoor kitchen — sink, worktop, basic cooking setup
€2,000 Complete septic and waste water system

First milestone: €5,000 — This covers the toilet and basic water setup. The minimum needed to legally host a guest. Every cent beyond that goes toward the kitchen, garden, and solar system.

What you get in return

€10+ — A handwritten thank-you postcard from Blagaj, mailed to you personally

€50+ — Your name on the "Wall of Founders" — a wooden board at the entrance to the camp

€200+ — One free night at the camp once it opens (valid for 3 years after opening)

€500+ — Two free nights + a home-cooked meal from the camp garden + your name carved into the camp's founder post

Follow the journey

I am documenting everything — every step of building, every mistake, every small victory — on YouTube at @Spring_of_Life.

Even if you cannot donate, following along and sharing this campaign costs nothing and means everything.

A personal word

I am not a business. I am one person who fell in love with a piece of land in Bosnia and decided to do something with it.

I believe that slow travel — one person, one place, real connection with nature — is what the world is moving toward. I want to build a small piece of that future, here in Blagaj.

If you believe in it too, even €10 will move this forward.

Thank you for reading this far.
