Barbara, Peter y sus dos hijos son muy amigables, tienen un muy buen carácter, mi estadía aquí me lleno de muchos momentos de aprendizaje por el lenguaje y por el trabajo con la madera. también es un lugar especial para aprender de comida ya que encuentras un mundo de posibilidades nuevas. disfrute cada noche de comida en familia. para mí cada noche fue una experiencia gastronómica. que más puedo decir. hermoso lugar con un gran bosque para recorrer y una linda fauna que conocer.

I'm so grateful for my first Worldpackers experience at Bogota the project and recommend it to anyone seeking an adventure. Nestled in the green hills of Croatia this beautiful homestead and family welcomed me with open arms. The work was as agreed upon, tasks often blended into the lifestyle rather than feeling like chores. The rhythm of the days allowed plenty of time to rest and reflect. From shared (yummy) dinners to quiet moments with nature, everyday held something meaningful. Thank you, bogota the project family for showing me what intentional living looks like, I'll carry it with me wherever I go.

The time I spent at the project was the best of my life. The people, the work, the environment, everything is amazing. It was my first volunteering experience and I would without a doubt recommend it to everyone. Peter, Barbara, Fleur and Nol made me feel comfortable immediately, I was able to express myself and grow as a person. I also have to say, coming from a former picky eater, the food is definitely amazing, there wasn't a single meal I didn't absolutely love during my stay. Wouldn't change my time there for anything in the world. Highly recommend!

I had a great and enriching experience at the project! I learned a lot about permaculture, the rhythm of nature, and the value of building a meaningful project with people from different backgrounds. Unfortunately, the other expected volunteers canceled, and since the farm is quite remote (no bus to the town), I felt a bit alone and dependent on the family for transport and social life. Despite these two personal challenges, I truly enjoyed the hands-on learning in the garden and the care of animals. Barbara and Peter were kind and generous, and I'm very grateful for this experience.

Essa família é top! Eu recebi um Trailer que era minha casa. Trabalhei em construção, limpeza e organização. Foram dias de algumas consversas com Peter.. onde alcançei novos conhecimentos sobre o Charlei. PS.: Em dias com calor sempre acontece um banho de rio. Obrigado pelos lindos e divertidos dias!

Charlei. Engineer of great quality. Helps making, designing, building construction eay and fun. He is very much his own man. He has an exemplary quiet demeanor. Loves a laugh, a beer and good food. Very nice person to be around. We accomplished a lot in laying the fundament for an open fire with chimney. He also lead a group of scouts in moving building material away from a prime location. Beyond any doubt very recommendable. He's welcome back always.

I have absolutely LOVED my experience at the project and would recommend to anyone who wants to slow down and reconnect with nature. Barbara, Peter and the family were super welcoming and always made sure I had everything I needed. The working hours were as described and flexible depending on the weather and what times we decided worked best for our group. The work its self was not overly strenuous and varied from day to day. The facilities and accommodation were great. I learnt a lot about sustainability and permaculture. Super grateful for the experience !!!

I really enjoyed my (first) Worldpackers experience at the project! The environment is beautiful, amazingly green and peaceful. Barbara & Peter are very flexible and very happy to share all their knowledge. Also: it's a big plus that Nol is a chef-to-be, so they prepare dinner every evening! Especially for 'meat eaters' a real treat, but they took my vegetarianism in account as well! I'll definitely miss this place, and all the dogs and cats as well. Hopefully we'll meet again :)

I had a very interesting and rewarding 3-week stay at the lush forest compound of Bogota the project where I stayed in my own private camper. Baking sourdough bread, foraging wild strawberries for cheesecake and nettles for soup, picking a variety of herbs for salad in the garden, learning how to make Elderberry syrup, Kombucha and fermented cleaning product. These are all recipes and methods I will carry with me for life! On my free days I visited Karlovac, the big city nearby and hiked in the national park. Croatia has been an eye-opener. Such a rich, complex and beautiful country!!!

I went to the project as a cook, with the objective to show Nol, the cook of the family my perspective on food. We collaborated very efficiently, managed to see quite a few techniques and make delicious dishes for the family. This place is perfect for someone that wants something chill and laid back. I went before the season started, so for me that serenity was ideal , since I wanted to focus on my other job as well. I guess if you go during the summer it will be more suitable for someone who is searching for fun!! I was lucky enough to have my own room even. Thank you to all the family!!

What a great guy he is. we discussed some values in the beginning. What came out among other things is 'Integrity'. He definitely is a man of his word. He delivered a learning to cook program at a very high quality level. He used his education and six years as a porfessional cook experience to deliver far beyond what we could expect. We can recommend him as Lazaros, as a kitchen master and as a great guy to have yround. Thank you again dear Lazaros. Greetings and hugs from Bogata Suma family.
