    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 1600m2. 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.

    If you want, you can be a participant in these projects and help us in our daily activities (housework, outdoor work, preparing delicious meals, ...), we are a small community and we need your help.

    SPECIAL OFFER FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE FREEDOM:
    Also, if you need more freedom, and you are not interested in the concept of community and want to work a little, but rather enjoy (solo) the nearby natural beauties and visit tourist destinations independently, then in that case we can only offer you accommodation (without food) for 2-3 hours of help per day (4-5 days a week), you also have 2-3 days off per week (you do not need to work at all).

    Currently open projects:
    CreativeGarden, DIGITAL Detox, EMOTIONAL Detox, Socialization.

    CreativeGarden:
    Designing and arranging gardens around houses for the purpose of natural aesthetics and consumption of vegetables.

    DIGITAL Detox:
    We are aware that we cannot exclude the digital world from our lives and every day we become more and more a part of digital reality and digital information.
    Through this project, we help people recover from the negative consequences of constant consumption of digital devices and connect with nature, we do this with the help of daily activities in the countryside and additionally through mini super interesting eco projects and eco systems.
    Part of this project is: relaxing music, healthy food and drink, interaction with plants and animals, healthy socialization (natural socializing with compatible people), etc.

    EMOTIONAL Detox:
    Daily interaction with people of different energies and emotions that are often not compatible with us, lead us to a state of emotional exhaustion or emotional burnout. In this project, we help people to be emotionally cleansed and stabilized through everyday natural activities in the village on the mountain and additionally through mini super interesting eco projects and eco systems.
    Part of this project is: relaxing music, healthy food and drinks, interaction with plants and animals, healthy socialization (natural socializing with compatible people), etc.

    SOCIALIZATION:
    Everyday busy life occupied with work routines within cities often leads us to a situation where we all forget that we are primarily social beings eager for healthy interaction accompanied by respect and appreciation of the privacy zone.
    In this project we help asocial people to socialize again through everyday natural activities in the countryside on the mountain and additionally through mini super interesting eco projects and eco systems.
    Part of this project is: relaxing music, healthy food and drinks, interaction with plants and animals, healthy socialization (natural socializing with compatible people), etc.
