Description
10 years ago I moved from Slovenia to Vis island.
Summertime is much different then winter time!
So my schedule and work is also very different.
In the summer is not possible to work during the day (its just too hot) and there is a lot of tourists on the island but in the winter time everything shots down and not many people stay on the island so it is very nice and calm.
I live by myself and my pets so I am always in need for help.
WINTER: I mostly have to chop the bushes and do some DIY projects, sometimes i need to carry load. Therefore I wish to host people that are used to live in the nature. Good shoes are also good have. There are different kinds of animals around, mice, spiders, wasps, bees and other insects but there are no poisoned animals on the island .
In the winter I welcome individuals that are used to live a bit remote and can get their hands dirty. I like to host people who are active, attentive and efficient. Handy and skilled people are very welcome. Another very important thing for me is tidiness and taking care of things (like tools, equipment and furniture...).
During the winter I live in town of Vis but I still drive to the bay and do the work there.
We usually go to the bay on daily basis working usually from 11-12 am to 3-4 pm, 2 days in a week are free and i provide 1 vegetarian meal per day. I like to host long term (14 days or more).
The tiny houses are distanced from Vis town about 7km and then another 10 minutes walk from the parking. So drinking water and all the other things (food, material..) needs to be brought along. I always ask my guests to be conscious of water consumption and other resources, to keep the place tidy and carefully use things like tools, house equipment...

Help
AUTUMN 2025:
- I need help for outdoor work in the bay. I am arranging tiny houses and its surroundings where the terrain is very steep and rocky. I am planting trees, making gardens and chopping bushes, doing DYI and household chores and maintaining the property in town of Vis where i currently live.
& WINTER 2025:
- Im also looking for a tidy and organized person to petsit my 2 cats long term from november until february. I will be away for some time and occasionally coming back to the island. When asking for animal care I prefer someone who already has experience with dogs and cats and understands their nature and has a certain calm, confident and stable energy. I also wish you to come few days before i leave so you can get used to them first. :)
Some of the tasks:
- pergola building help
- planting trees and gardening
- chopping bushes
- surrounding maintenance help
- repairing stony paths
- help constructing a storage, painting wood
- petsitting

Accommodation
My guests have their own separate very comfortable place next to my place in town of Vis or they are settled in the bay in one of the tiny houses.
Before we come together I usually talk with my volunteers by whats app about some other details. For example about the food and routines we have. I provide one vegetarian or vegan meal per day on the day of work. The rest of the food we can individually bring to the house and share. There are some basic things in the house like oil , vinagre, spices...
I ask people to take a good care of the place they live in and keep it clean.
What else ...
On your days off you can take a hike or go for a swim, visit some beach or another town Komiža, bike, or just walk around small town and read a book. The island itself is just beautiful to see and hang around. Sometimes if there is an event happening and if i have time i can join you and show you around or go and meet some other local people.
