Description
We are non profit organization from island Ugljan in Croatia. We work many agricultural jobs in the island such as cutting and harvesting olives. The olive oil is made in traditional way that started in the time of Romans. There is a Roman mill on the island that is completely reconstructed to show the people how making of oil was done 2000 years ago.
We also work with other plants such as figs, peaches, lemons, madarines and so on. And also we tako care of the nature by cleaning the trash leftovers and protecting the animals from the hunters. And we make gastro and music events so that people on the island can enjoy together in the nature, music and amazing food.
We would really appreciate the help and in exchange we will provide housing and food and an amazing experience.

Ciao Everyone, if there would be a competition of the best WA exchange in 2025 then for sure ours would be the winner far ahead :) :) :)
We had so much laugh with Ante and the Girls in Ugljan island, morning coffees, fresh juices (from fruits growing on the island right in fron of the door) lunch breaks, evening chats, BBQ nights.… read more
He was very polite and nice. Also great worker. We had very good communication and the energy with rest of the group was amazing. Definitely want to host him again and do more pojects with him and hang out with him.
We enjoyed our time on the island and laughed a lot with the group.
What we liked most about the work was the change of scenery as Ante took us to different places to harvest on the island.
Ante has ambitious plans for the future and we wish him all the best making them come true :)
