Description
We are two ladies Sanja & Danijela with our own properties. Our needs are such that we would take two male persons or two couples in the age range from 22 to 60, preferably with some experience, but goodwill is more important. On one property, help is needed twice a week in the garden, yard and small jobs related to construction (Sanja lives there). On second estate, where the volunteer will be housed, help is needed in the garden, construction, maintenance of the garden and interior spaces (Danijela lives here ). You will work 5 hours a day, 5 days a week. Weekends are free, or another day of the week by arrangement. The diet is exclusively vegetarian and vegan. One vegan cooked meal per day will be provided, and the rest will be provided by us for yourself to cook. Accommodation is a separate appartment in Danijela's place, also at Sanja's place there is a separate bedroom available. We all have lots of cats and dogs. We are part of eco village Blatuša, which is often visited by other workaway workers. We are surrounded by forests and nature, a lake and a spa are close by, and Zagreb is 1 hour away. Nearby are springs of drinking water and an area rich in wild plants and mushrooms. We are going to teach you an ecological way of life with nature and spiritual values. The eco village is multinational in character and we all speak English, some also Italian and German. We have no problem with smokers, but drugs and alcohol are not welcome in our households. This is a very nice way to find out how the eco-village works and the relationships between its inhabitants develop.

Help
We would like you to not be afraid of dogs, and also like cats. Would be nice if you were versatile, and are able to adapt to constant flow of people and have basic knowlege of DIY. You will not be overworked and all your tasks will be discussed in advance.We are more than happy with the help we have received so far. At the moment we are busy with gardening, redecorating and fencing. As it's for the physical tasks we need most help for, we decided to join up and together make this profile, so we make sure our guests will have more fun, and we can be nice hosts with also some spare time. It's not all work, we will show you around.
