We were even comfortable leaving our house with her taking care of our animals. I would recommend her for workaway to anyone. We truly miss her. Can't wait to meet… read more

This was my first Work Away and I have no words to thank Vojka, she is amazing. All the family made me feel as part of them since the first moment.
I sent a kind of “late request” some days before NYE because I wanted to start the year with a different experience in my life and I’m sure I chose right.

„Save water, drink wine!“ In this case blueberry schnapps, the drink (for ervery situation) they offered me when I first step into their house. A good start! Since then I already knew: they will care about me!

This was my workaway number 8. I was in Slovenia for almost two months. From the first moment I contacted Vojka I felt affection. He's always always worried about me. He opened the doors of his house to me like one more son. It has helped me a lot from the beginning and I have never lacked anything. She is a very good woman. With a good heart.… read more

I had a very pleasant time with Vojka and her sweet family :) Help varies from day to day depending on what Vojka wants to be done. I had arrived when they had received a large load of logs that needed to be chopped, moved, and then stored away. Needless to say, those days were long and hard. But, I love a good work out, especially when you are… read more

We spent two great weeks with Vojka and the family - it was great. The work was great, the food was great (and very traditional for those interested) and overall we felt very at home in the beautiful Slovenian hills. Thanks for the memories and we will miss you all.
