  • Descrição

    Descrição

    I live in the village of Janjina on the Peljesac Peninsula of Croatia. There is a lot to do so volunteers can also tell me what they would prefer to help out with based on their strengths and skills.

    My current plans include organising, cleaning and some small repairs (mostly sanding and painting) around my 19th century stone house, and tending to small gardens.

  • Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado

    I am from South Africa. Volunteers could learn about my experiences of both Africa and Europe. I am also very interested in learning about people and their experiences of their home towns and travelling.
    We will do tasks together, share skills, and hopefully also some laughs. I try to maintain a light and cheerful atmosphere.
    This opportunity would best be suited to guests who are travelling in and around Croatia, are interested in DIY projects and outdoor activities. I also know a bit about local sites of interest, herbs and natural medicines; all which I could share with you over a cup of tea.

  • Ajuda

    Ajuda

    Priorities:
    Painting, carpentry, and light construction
    Indoor cleaning (the living space, basements, barns and workshops)
    Outdoor cleaning (gardens, neatening up the exterior of the house, sorting wood from waste on properties, and weeding gardens)

  • Acomodação

    Acomodação

    I can host up to two volunteers at a time, who will share a bedroom with two single beds (or double bed for couples). I provide linen, duvets, blankets , and pillows.
    You have space to store your stuff in the bedroom.
    We will all live together, share meals and hang out downstairs. We do not heat the upstairs part of the house in winter, but it is warm enough to sleep in.
    We share the downstairs bathroom, which includes a toilet, basin, and bathtub for showers.

    I only accept workawayers who have feedback from at least one other host on workaway, can show feedback on WWOOF, or provide personal references for other volunteer work.

    *️️️️ All volunteers will need to provide a copy of their IDs/passports and proof of health insurance. EHIC is fine for EU residents, proof of travel health insurance is necessary for non-EU residents. I require this because all volunteers need to be registered, and the nature of the help we need help with is primarily physical (moving things, helping with rocks and wood). Should anything happen, we have a clinic and 24-hour emergency services just down the road from us.

    **️️️️️️️ I have a cat inside the house. He is friendly, but shy. He loves to play once he learns to trust guests in the house.

    *️️️️️️️**️️️️️️️ I eat mostly vegetarian meals, although there is meat and fish on occasion. I love it when volunteers cook, and if you cook, you help 4 hours per day, instead of 5. I also love exchanging recipes - I can share some of mine and you can teach me yours.

    *️️️️*️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️*️️️️️️️ Volunteers must please bring their own clothes, and shoes. I will provide additional gear like gloves, suits, materials, tools, and masks, depending on the type of task.

    Janjina is situated in the heart of the Peljesac Peninsula. It is a lovely old village full of history, and is surrounded by a breathtaking natural environment.
    It is halfway between Ston and Orebic; both are 30km away and accessible by bus, and it is easy to hitchhike.
    We have sea on both sides of us, which is 2km away. On one side we have "Veliko More" (Big Sea), where you have Trstenik and Zuljana. On the other side we have "Malo More", a small bay between the mainland and the peninsula, where Drace and Sreser are situated.
    Nearby attractions include Korcula Island (accessible by ferry from Orebic), Mljet National Park (accessible by ferry from Prapatno), and Dubrovnik (accessible by bus for day trips).

    There is an uncapped internet connection. You can work at a table downstairs or in your room. I would love to have artists, freelance writers and designers over to share interests and expertise.

    I have space to park a small van in front of the house. Motorhomes can be parked in a spot 100m from the house.
