  Description

  UPDATE OCT 2024: Hi everyone! We need to leave Albania for one month from October 15 until November 15. We are looking for a couple, or a couple of friends who are traveling slowly and want to stay in the same area for one month and want to house/pet sit. We run a hostel out of our home during the summer season. We have two dogs and one cat. The two dogs are pretty independent village dogs who love to run around and make trouble :) and our cat just wants to cuddle all day. It is fairly easy tasks. We are looking for someone who can keep the house clean and water the plants. This is the off season, so for now, there is nobody around and no reservations. This is a good Workaway for a couple who likes to go inward as life is simple here as the winter comes, but the nature is still perfect. We are surrounded by the most beautiful beaches and full of hiking opportunities. Vuno has only two cafes/restaurants, where the locals sit and enjoy homemade raki, but Himare, with more options is just a 10 minute drive away. We have a pretty big place for just two people so it is perfect for people who want time to read, write, create, paint, meditate, do yoga, etc...
  
  What we can offer:
  - a big house, mostly to yourselves to enjoy and feel at home (with wifi, hot water, kitchen, fireplaces, lots of books) :)
  - a lot of dry food basics (we will keep stocked pasta, rice, lentils, spices, etc)
  - a car for driving around. We will be leaving our car here during the month so you will be able to drive around the surrounding area and be able to go to the supermarket. It is an automatic, 4x4 Suzuki
  
  .....
  
  We are Bree and Adrian, a couple living in Albania. Adrian has moved back and forth between Germany and Albania for the past several years and I am an American who decided to stay in Albania while coming here on a side-trip from Turkey. Four summers ago we moved into a beautiful old stone house in the village of Vuno right on the Albanian Riviera. We have a terrace overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, two big rooms with fireplaces, a basement we've renovated completely into a salon and private room, a kitchen with all appliances, two bathrooms, and wifi. We have opened the house into a hostel -- renovating and restoring basically everything in the old house.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Vuno is a beautiful village situated along the Albanian Riviera between Gjipe Canyon and Jale Beach. Himara, the Greek town is just 7 km away. Vuno is surrounded by amazing nature, canyons, waterfalls, and tons of hiking trails. The length of the riviera is full of beaches from busy to secluded. Vuno is a great base to explore the Riviera from any direction. We go to the beach all the time to swim, relax, kayak, fish, etc!
  
  Vuno itself is a small and peaceful place. The village is full of old stone houses and beautiful stairs that take you around the neighborhood filled with flowers and fruits growing. There are two cafes (both with wifi) where the locals sit all day and drink espresso and rakija and eat good food :)

  Aide

  We need help making the place comfortable too, so -- building and hanging shelves, making a shaded area on the terrace with plants from the mountains, etc. We try to use natural materials when adding things to our home. We are making plans as we go so ideas are welcome :)

  Autres infos...

  There is a lot to explore from Vuno and our house is just 2 minutes walk up from the main road where the auto buses run up and down all day. Hitchhiking is also very common along the Riviera and it is no problem to get a ride to where you are going.
  
  We are both very friendly and respectful people who have traveled a lot. We are both in our twenties and have a lot of energy and like to have a good time. When you stay with us, what is ours is yours and we eat and drink good :) You can feel totally at home here while helping us.
