  • Description

    Description

    My friends and I live in the mountain Orjen above Herceg Novi (Montenegro). We live on a ranch where there are three houses and a plot of 1000m2. We have enough room to accommodate Workawayers. My friends and I form a small community with 3 members. We often start various projects related to nature, pets and local domestic products. We as a small community are open to exchange culture, skills and knowledge with workawayers who come from all over the world.

    In their free time, Workawayers can hike on mountain Orjen, visit an adventure park, rent quad bikes and bicycles, consume local home-made meals and drinks in local taverns, and visit the Montenegrin coast and the cultural heritage of the coastal cities (Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Budva...) only 15-40 km away from mountain Orjen.

    Workawayers who have adequate documents for visiting the EU can visit Dubrovnik (a world-famous tourist destination only about 40 km away).
    There are also many other interesting tourist destinations such as: Durmitor, Žabljak, Lake Skadar, Bjelašnica near Sarajevo, Mostar (old bridge), Sarajevo, Kravice Waterfalls, ...

    We have our own personal means of transportation that we use to purchase necessities and visit interesting locations in Montenegro and the surrounding region.

    As a small community, we live a relaxed rural life with simple everyday tasks. We behave in a friendly manner towards each other and we expect the workawayer to behave in this spirit as well.
    We prefer people who prefer community life and human manner (understanding, compassion, simplicity, patience and hard work).
