Description
Hi everyone, my name is Ivana, coming from Croatia. I have lived there for 22 years and then I moved to Dubai.

I was living and working in Dubai for 2 years. In the meantime, I realized that this lifestyle is completely not for me, as I cannot live without nature, animals and simple happy life - so I resigned and decided to volunteer all over the world in exchange for the experience, food, and accommodation. Wish you can help me with that :)

Ivana has many qualities that make her a wonderful volunteer. A very happy and active person, she is very helpful and loves children. Generally very loving towards everyone, she is incredibly sweet and friendly. She provided very good service to our clients here at our hotel and we are pleased to say that she is well recommended by our family.

Wow!!! The best Canadian family I ever had! From the moment I came there I felt very comfortable, safe and they treated me as a real family member. I felt like home from the first day i came.

Ivana was likely the best workawayer I will ever have visit. She was super helpful, always competed tasks efficiently and well. Everyday, she would wake up and help after breakfast and finish off her tasks by lunch time. I actually had to push her to stop helping and to go explore the city and have a good time. She is very enthusiastic and great… read more

I spent a nice time with Suhail and his friends. The place is nice located, you have everything you need downstairs. I was helping him with cooking and cleaning, and he always motivated me to visit museums and events. If there is any kind of entertainment in the city, Suhail will know that and guide you how to reach there :) You have a big… read more

How did we get so lucky?? This young woman has to be one of the happiest and most positive people I have ever been fortunate enough to meet. From the time she came in the door until the day she left, Ivana gave 110% and asked for little in return. Her work ethic is second to none, and everything was completed in an efficient and timely way. She… read more

I will never forget 3 amazing weeks I have spent with Lin and her lovely animals. It was an amazing experience, I l have earned so many things that probably I will never have a chance to learn again. She taught me how to make a healthy high-protein bread, how to take care of animals and treat them as kings and how to appreciate all small things… read more
