Descrição
==============================================================
WE NEED 1 or 2 VOLUNTEERS FOR MAX. 1 WEEK AROUND 20-28 APRIL
==============================================================
We are Mathieu and Els, a Belgian couple living in northwest Slovenia on the border of Triglav National Park. We moved here in 2010 after falling in love with this country and region. We found an old farmhouse in the hills, which we have been rebuilding for several years. In addition to the construction work, we spend a lot of time in our garden, enjoying the peaceful view overlooking the valley.
We are currently preparing for our next B&B season and are looking for assistance with various tasks. These include cleaning the kitchen, sanding and varnishing wooden furniture, helping in the vegetable garden, and assisting with renovating the barn on rainy days. We offer a maximum stay of one week, perfect for a backpacker passing through.
In return, you will have a comfortable place to sleep + meals and unlimited Wi-Fi access. There will also be plenty of time to relax or go hiking in the region. We're happy to help you discover the area and the national park during or after your stay.

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
You will learn more about organic gardening, vegan/vegetarian cooking, construction tasks. We also like to discuss about Slovenia or your country, about Balkan, politics, environments, good food, what's new ( hardware, internet, social media, hypes) and all the good things in life.
Ajuda
Volunteers will help with different kinds of tasks. We will try to organise that way that you will be doing various tasks.
We take care that volunteers are not doing dangerous tasks or taking risks.
Idiomas
Inglês: Fluente
Francês: Fluente
Holandês: Fluente
Alemão: Intermediário
Acomodação
A private room with a good bed and unlimited wifi. When we have more volunteers, and you are coming alone, then it is possible that you have to share a room with 1 other volunteer.
Algo mais...
We live in a remote location. Volunteers without their own transportation will be picked up from the train or bus station in Most na Soci or Tolmin. From here, it's possible to take day trips to Lake Bohinj, Bled, or explore the Soca Valley. Additionally, there's a beautiful 6-hour hike in the hills starting from our place. And for some fun, we have a ping pong table!
Please note that we have 5 cats who live a very relaxed life, so we cannot accommodate volunteers with dogs.
Traveling by bus or train from Ljubljana is quite affordable. Especially on weekends, the bus fares are a real bargain!
When traveling by bus from Ljubljana to Tolmin, it's possible that the bus may take a detour through Cerkno.
In case of a bad weather forecast, such as heavy rain for 4 days or more, we may need to reorganize tasks. This could potentially lead to the cancellation or rescheduling of your stay here.
