Description
My sister Milena and I (Ivana) have a lovely house near Milna on the island of Brac in Croatia. It consists of 2 separate apartments (you will be staying in one apartment) It is located in a beautiful bay, Kalina, only 50m away from the sea. It's 3km away from the village of Milna on the island of Brac. The nearest airport is Split. You get to the island by a ferry boat (50 min journey time). We have 3 small children.
We need help with cooking, general tidying, cleaning, small wall and furniture painting, and moving furniture…

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I’m excited to host travelers because I genuinely value cultural exchange and the opportunity to connect with people from different parts of the world. For me, hosting is not just about offering a place to stay—it’s about sharing experiences, perspectives, and everyday life in a meaningful way. I believe that some of the best learning happens through real conversations, shared meals, and mutual curiosity.
When I host, I aim to create a welcoming and relaxed environment where visitors feel comfortable and included. I enjoy spending time together—whether that means exploring the local area of the island of Brac, introducing you to Croatian culture, cooking meals, or simply having good conversations over coffee or a walk. At the same time, I respect personal space and understand that everyone has their own rhythm and travel style.
Through hosting, I hope to learn more about different cultures, traditions, and ways of thinking. I’m especially interested in hearing personal stories, learning about daily life in other countries, and maybe even picking up a few words from different languages. I see every guest as an opportunity to broaden my perspective and build genuine connections across cultures.
Overall, I’m looking forward to creating a positive and enriching experience for both of us, where we can share, learn, and enjoy the uniqueness that each person brings.
Island Brac is the largest island in Dalmatia, and the third-largest island in the Adriatic Sea, You will have a great time exploring the main attractions - village Pucisca, and the Stonemasonry School (White House and Arc the Triomphe were built from the famous white stone mined on the island), the village of Skrip, and the Brac Native and Olive Oil museums. You’ll also have time for a photo opportunity on the 778 m high summit of Vidova Gora Mount and visit the most photographed beach in the Adriatic - beach Zlatni Rat.
