Description
My name is Vilia and I am a Croatian woman speaking English, Croatian, and French. Some of my interests are yoga, art, nature, mountain climbing, water sports, tango, and herbal medicine. I am based in Omis, Dalmatia, The Adventure capital of Croatia. The house has beautiful sea views and a sea 300m away ( 7 min walking down the hill ). You can swim, do water sports, mountain climb, river Cetina rafting. Split UNESCO-protected Roman town is 30 minutes away. The airport is 45 min away. Or do island hopping as Croatia has over 1000 islands.
I am not a business host, just a fellow helper and volunteer all my life for different projects around the world and now I am in the position to offer the hosting with warm welcome and plenty of cultural, language, knowledge exchange.
I need somebody to help me with a small garden, some painting, and DIY/ house maintenance. I am also very passionate about planting trees, as there have been many summer fires in the mountains, which have devastated the forests and nature.
Sawing skills, teaching-speaking Spanish language or tango and singing teaching and art painters are also welcome. You don't need to have experience, but most importantly willingness to learn and help.
I expect help of around 4 hours on average per day, 5 days a week. I offer separate accommodation, such as a small 37m2 apartment where you can also cook if you like. This offer is for a single person or a couple for one week or up to three summer months.
Few times a week I would cook and we would share some meals together. For the rest of days you will have option to cook in your own kitchen . As we all have different eating preferences or just want some privacy cooking for ourself or are not home in the evening for whichever reason.
I love to welcome friends and family and to show them around so to share cultural, language, and culinary experiences. I can also offer to teach you some Croatian or cooking.
I have had a fair share of volunteers run through my place and I've decided to do a introduction talk with potential volunteers via online call and a test-week once you arrive.
This is not a freestay or a tourist come and go but a place where real human values are lived and nourished in all of us, therefore come ready to give but also recieve!
You don't need to have experiance but willingness to learn and take responsibility and initiative to work independently. It is way to busy to micromanage.
I can not be responsible how the weather is, yes it is hot in the summer and could be windy sometimes in the winter. It is 5km away from town Omiš. There are regular busses and very often if you are not by car I might offer a lift to town. After your daily help you are free to explore the nature, sea and area, towns around.
Please send your whatsapp number when sending a message so we can communicate there easier, thank you
I offer free Wi-Fi and parking and it is also ideal for digital nomads.
There are 2 very curious and friendly cats. I am a nonsmoker.
