UPDATE
This spring, we will need assistance with gardening and would be delighted to host people with gardening experiences. The tasks will include preparing the beds, planting seeds in the soil, and getting the beds ready for tomatoes, berries and other vegetable.
Hi everybody!
My name is Marijana and last year I moved into a new house just outside of Ljubljana where I live now with my daughters. We are an open minded, creative family, and spend most of our free time cooking healthy meals (mostly vegan) as well as hiking in the countryside.
We just started a new project to offer a guest accommodation and would love to receive help and ideas from volunteers in social media promotion, website developing, general maintenance and gardening as well.
We like hosting English (or German) speaking people and enjoy spending time sharing new recipes, engaging in interesting conversations or discussions, and learning all about their way of life. We have capaticity for one volunteer or a couple to stay with us for a short time (one or two weeks).
The last years we learned a lot about personality development and growth to be more satisfied and fulfilled in life. We are also interested in natural medicine like dried herbs and vegan, nutritional food to stay physically and mentally healthy. If you are interested, we would love to exchange our knowledge and learn from each other. But even if you are new in this topic, we are open to share our knowledge and findings with you.
We look forward to welcoming you to our beautiful, green country: Slovenia!

I stayed for like 10 days with Marijana and her daughter and I had such a nice time there! It didn't feel like a workaway, more like a stayaway because my only "task" was to speak English and German with them. I am super grateful for having been able to spend this time in their home in Slovenia, which became… read more
