Description
"Hi, I'm Dora, a 27-year-old from Croatia with a passion for adventure, nature, and exploring other cultures. I'm a friendly, positive, and open-minded traveler who likes new experiences. I graduated with a degree in preschool education, but life took me on an unexpected journey—working as a poker dealer in a casino, which gave me the freedom to explore more of what I truly enjoy. After years of dreaming about a nomadic lifestyle, I’ve recently started a new chapter and Workaway is the perfect platform to support this path. My current plan is to work at poker tournaments across Europe while spending my free time at Workaway projects or with friends. I’m enthusiastic, adaptable, and always eager to help, whether it’s with childcare, gardening, housework, or any creative projects. I love being in nature and learning new languages as I travel, and I find joy in sharing stories and experiences with the people I meet. I’m excited to continue growing, learning, and contributing wherever I go. Looking forward to new adventures and the opportunity to connect with amazing people along the way!

My stay with Lorenzo was very fulfilled with enjoying the terace, good music and interesting work. I messaged Lorenzo and we easily made a deal about my staying. I was there for beautiful 5 days and we were cleaning a place where Lorenzo will put wooden house for workawayers (cutting branches and sorting them, collecting stones, moving plants,… read more

These days with Dora were really fun, exceptional days that combined gardening and pleasure in an exquisite way.
So, Dora wrote to me a few weeks before coming, and together we chose the best time. Then she came by car and adjusted to the dates that worked best for both of us. From the first day we started talking very pleasantly and became great… read more friends, and then we immediately started working together in the garden, so that we could enjoy the sunny days even in the cool December weather. We were very lucky because the weather was beautiful, even though it was late December. We concentrated on cleaning an area where I want to build a wooden house, so we carefully cleaned the concrete platform that will house the wooden house (which in turn will house future workawayers!) and then we pruned the trees around it, both olive and laurel trees.
Dora was really good and very clever and active in helping me, she immediately understood how to use the tools, she carefully cleaned the path, working very hard and always concentrating on the work, and then in the evening we had fun together talking and eating together, quietly. Really Dora was very good at cleaning up the branches, the leaves, and above all at removing the soil from the ground, so that I could assemble the little wooden house. Together we also rearranged the drywall and in a few days the whole area took on a completely different look!
So my workaway experience with Dora was extremely positive, and I highly recommend this girl who was born in Croatia, because in addition to being very good and willing, she is also very nice and it is pleasant to spend time in her company.
Dora is a dynamic and enterprising girl, and she wrote to me in a very nice way on workaway, from which I could immediately understand her positive energy!
Dora arrived here in Gavorrano by car, quietly, and after a convivial first evening in which we dined together, the next morning we immediately set to work in the garden: she helped me a lot to sort out all the branches that are on the ground after the pruning of the olive trees over the last few months, so she was very good at collecting the branches, dividing them according to size, cutting them, and cleaning up leaves and twigs, collected in small groups.
We also had a lot of fun, and as she loves good food, it was very nice to cook different dishes for her every day, experimenting with new recipes for breakfast and dinner, which she certainly enjoyed :)
In fact, in addition to the passion for good food, with Dora we also shared the passion for good music!
Finally, I highly recommend this Croatian girl, because in addition to being energetic and nice, she is also very strong and very good at working in the garden, and I really appreciated that from the first day she learned to work independently, setting the alarm clock early, to being able to work in the best hours of this cold autumn.
Thanks again for all your help dear Dora, and it was a lot of fun.
I hope you can come back soon dear Dora, and see all the progress being made here on the farm, thanks to the help of all the workawayers!
Thanks again dear Dora and see you soon :)
All the best!
I-renzo
