I feel blessed and I am grateful to Universe and WA platform for connecting me with Petra and Andre. They are: gentle, kind, compassionate, witty, hard-working, creative, innovative, caring, considerate...the list of their positive traits could go on and on. They probably have at least one negative trait too but in two weeks I haven`t noticed any
… read more trace of it. They dealt with my neglected garden heroically, saved me from the kitchen flood, helped with broken water heater, cooked, decorated my home... All in all, they improved my life in many beautiful ways. It has been a privilege to host them, we were teaching and learning from each other at the same time. Lot of laughs and meaningful conversations. When they left, I had not only former jungle turned to a decent garden again but the couple of new, precious friends. Looking forward to see them again, grateful for everything.
If you really want to do Workaway honestly and with joy, then you are in the perfect place with Mira. Her joy at our design of the magical terrace garden on the Adriatic was unexpectedly great and full of gratitude every day. She spoiled us excessively with delicious vegetarian food. We loved our intimate conversations after work in our favorite

With good food and interesting conversations, we lingered at sunrise or sunset in this cozy spot with a panoramic view of the Adriatic, Rijeka and the mountains. The three of us didn't need a getting-to-know-you phase, because from the first meeting both sides felt the desire to create something together. We succeeded very well and the day of departure was postponed twice. When the first snow fell on the mountain peaks after 17 days and the weather called for autumn calm, we left this place as friends. A new friendship that we want to maintain now enriches our lives. We wish Mira the best of health and always the energy and power to overcome her " Schweinehund" . We'll see you again soon! Team Klinger, Petra and André
Well, Shelley and Tony surely exceeded my expectations ( which were not low!). They are both kind and hard working, almost human machines. Not only that they did what I asked them to do, they saw what needed to be done better then myself. And they improved part of my neglected garden when the weather would permit it but also had a lot of indoor
