  Descrição

  Hi, we're Emma and Ben and we run activity holidays and specialist breaks like yoga and art retreats from our renovated farmhouse at Lake Skadar National Park. We've been doing it since 2011!
  
  We host small groups of guests every week from April to October, and take them hiking, kayaking and to enjoy the fantastic local wine and gastronomy. Out of season, there's always plenty of land and property maintenance to do!
  
  You will find yourself based in a stunning location for any nature lover, bang in the middle of a huge national park, with plenty of free time to get out and explore. During the season, your lodgings will be a private wooden eco-cabin on the Villa estate, surrounded by nature, fruit trees and the occasional wild tortoise. You will also be able to share outdoor spaces with our guests, including the swimming pool and nature/yoga deck. Out of season, we make a room in the actual guesthouse available.
  
  We're based in walking distance of Virpazar, a pretty little village by Lake Skadar.

  Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

  You will be based in an extremely beautiful, rural area of Montenegro - Lake Skadar National Park - where you will be able to learn about and enjoy the incredible nature on our doorstep, as well as (during the season) learn to be a hiking and kayaking guide. And of course, we'll take you to some of the best secret beauty spots in our area. As little English is spoken here, except at our place (we're British!), you'll also get the chance to meet locals and learn a bit of the local language - Serbian/Montenegrin.

  Ajuda

  We're looking for outdoorsy, nature-loving couples who can come help us run our activity holidays and guest accommodation. For the right people (you need to be as happy cleaning a guest bedroom as you are chatting with guests and staying in an eco-cabin!), this is an amazing opportunity which will need your commitment to stay at least a month.
  
  During the tourist season (April-October) the role is chiefly to be our main house and groundskeepers, with support from us when needed (eg. on guest changeover days). Daily tasks involve getting up early (7am starts) to water the plants, maintain the swimming pool (which involves using it too!), sweep, clean and tidy outside and communal areas like the yoga deck and guest kitchen/living room. Twice a week, there's a clean to do of the villa. There'll also be a chance to help out with our tours, e.g. assisting with driving, or preparing kayaks, and going along as an extra pair of hands and secondary guide!
  
  There will also be some gardening to do (strimming, pruning and maintaining our veggie garden), guest bedrooms to prepare and bicycle maintenance.
  
  In return, we offer not only a basic wage, but you'll get to the chance to go kayaking and hiking with our guests to some amazing places, most of them hidden well away from the standard touristy places.
  
  Pre-season (Feb-April), it's all about getting the guesthouse ready for the summer. Painting, varnishing, gardening, cleaning...the more practical you are, the better (special consideration given to anyone with trade experience)! There are no tours to go on at that time of year - but as spring arrives it's always the most beautiful time of the year, and a nature-lover's paradise.
  
  Please note, good English and the ability to drive a manual vehicle are essential.
  
  ——
  
  We provide a basic wage of €400per person per month, assuming an average of 3-4 hours work per day 5 days a week - we ask our Workawayers to be flexible as some days may be longer and some might only require an hour of your time. We require both of you to have a decent level of physical fitness, fluent English and full and clean driving licences for manual gearboxes). Experience of kayaking, hiking & property maintenance is desirable, as is a love of nature and the outdoors (insect and snake phobes, this is not the place for you!). A car can be made available when not in use for our tours.
