Description
Hello my friend!
*Im looking for a female workawayer only, during December, not more.
This Workaway is best suited for someone who truly enjoys SILENCE, NATURE, and SOLITUDE.*
Shortly:
Help with collecting firewood, carrying it by walk, and knowing how to light and maintain a fire is important, as i truly need assistance with this as well as simple dog walking :)
I live on the small island of Mali Iž in a very quiet environment, surrounded by nature.
Life here is simple and MINIMALISTIC: there is one small shop, no cafés or social life, and a lot of time to be alone with nature.
This is not a party or social Workaway, but an opportunity to retreat, slow down, disconnect, and experience island life as it really is.
The work can be physically demanding at times and includes helping with daily tasks around the house and walking with my dog Bubi. Bubi has a strong personality, so this experience is best for someone who is comfortable with animals and patient in building trust with him.
I heat the house with wood and try to live with low energy consumption, rain water, simple cooking, and a mindful, sustainable lifestyle. If you are curious about minimalism, self-sufficiency, and living close to nature, you may really enjoy this :)
There is also a lot of free time for you, especially in winter, which is perfect for reading, writing, walking, swimming (in good weather), or simply being present or going to the Zadar city for a day!
This Workaway is ideal for you if you:
-enjoy quiet and being alone
-don’t need social activities or nightlife
-are comfortable with physical work
-love animals
-are interested in simple, minimal living
-vegetarian/vegan
-are alcohol/smoke/drug free
-you have your own WIFI
If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’ll be happy to host you <3
Feel free to ask anything in the message.
About the dog:
Bubi is my dog and constant companion. He is used to traveling with me and is very well behaved and clean. Knows how to live peacefully with cats and other dogs. He may need some time to adjust to new people, so please don’t judge him on the first day..he can be protective of his personal space at first.
Overall, he is calm and gentle, low maintenance dog.
Bubi is 15 years old and has only 20 teeth left. Sleeps most of the day and has limited hearing and eyesight. At times he may get confused or momentarily think you are someone else.
He can walk very slowly and requires patience. He has arthritis, so warmth, especially from the fire helps him a lot.
About a girl from the photo:
-Currently working in the city 4 days in a week for 12 hours
- Im very introverted, and like to respect others private space.
-Since im working i would really need a lot of time alone and could spend time with you on my free days to show you the island if you want :)
-90% vegan (and I prefer to live with someone who is vegetarian)
-My long time dream is to find an eco-community where I could live for ever sustainable!
-Im an artist and a gardener looking forward to meet people with similar ideas all around the world... Permaculture, gardening, vegetarian, friendly, easy going..
-Did lots of volunteering, I hosted volunteers on my helpx account and I lived in many different communities together with my dog Bubi.
Yeeey this is the end, thank you my friend for reading all this :D

Accommodation
You will be staying with me and my dog at my home, located at the top of the island with beautiful views and surroundings.
You will have your own private room and plenty of privacy. I can provide an electric blanket if needed, though it usually doesn’t get very cold here, especially if you open the windows and let the sun warm the room.
Heating is provided by a wood stove, and cooking is done on gas. The kitchen is in the same room where I sleep, and it is the only room heated by the stove.
I’m unable to provide food, so in exchange you would work about 3 hours a day, 4 days a week (or less).
Drinkable water is rainwater or can be bought from the shop.
You’ll be responsible for your own meals, and I prefer that you cook vegetarian food while staying here.
What else ...
I live on the island, its for people who like remote places, with nothing happening there
