I am 49 years and interested in nature and spirituality and good healthy food. I am currently not working and looking for options to travel around the world learn, experience and grow. I also love to work with children and animals and medicinal plants. I prefer sunny locations but with rough pristine nature I am also happy. I have a good sense of humor and am curious and ready to learn.

Although Jacqueline spent with us only a couple of days in August, we find her very nice and kind lady, willing and ready to help . She helped us around our homestead, although it was the hottest week in August and she cooked a couple of delicios meals for us as well.

I spent a short week in Luka’s family homestead near Maribor. I stayed in the nearby wooden cottage which is located in a beautiful rural area. The place is nice and cosy but having no electricity it would be handy if it had some light for spending a comfortable time in the evenings as well.

I stayed almost 2 weeks at Lala's place in December 2023 taking care of the animals and some other chores for her guests and some work in and around the house. The house, garden and location of the place are great, a spacious house and close to the town and sea which I could reach with one of her bikes. The work was not hard or difficult, most… read more

Jacqueline joined us for three weeks and we very much enjoyed her company. She is cheerful and positive in her attitude to work and could be relied upon to complete the tasks we set her to do. She was very open to learning new knowledge and skills but unfortunately cheese-making was not possible with our goat busy having babies. We are grateful… read more

Jacqueline was with me for a short while and she has her own voice, so you need to be clear whith what you expect and what she can expect. She was in the garden and she was very good with what she did. At the beginning she did not feel good, she was sick the first day and then we got it together. We have been in contact even after this experience.… read more

I spent a few days at Ninas place near Postojna. When I arrived my first impression was that it was a bit messy and not so well organized. I was happy that I brought my own tent as the other places for volunteers were already full. As the project is off grid and I was there in Summer time most of the time we spent outside. I helped in the… read more

Jacqueline asnwered our last minute call for help and spent 2 weeks in our shelter and we are thankful for her help.

I spent 2 weeks in the animal sanctuary of Thomas and Diamanto as they needed last minute help in October. It was a good experience for me as I had some fears after a dog bite a year before. They were really considerate of the situation and helped me overcome the fear by introducing me slowly to the different animals, for which I am very grateful.… read more
