The Experience

As the spring knocks on our doors, a lot of construction and preparation for season prevents us work on our yards and small gardens. We would love it if we would get a person that comes and helps us with it. No matter the level of language skills, just a friendly person that is willing to assist us make our yards look better and alive in the summer. Also we do some renovations on our properties and preparing them for the summer.

I had a lovely time collaborating at the hostel, everyone from the family and staff was welcoming and friendly from day one, It was wondertul the opportunity to get along with the other volunteers there and explore the small town and areas nearby, plus the work was easy and most of the days we finished one hour earlier. Definitely recommend if having a few days to chill in a small town is your vibe.

I loved my time volunteering in Pakoštane! The staff were so friendly and supportive. They work with lots of volunteer so they understood my needs and I felt comfortable asking for help if I needed it. Since it was off season, the work was pretty easy and never went past the agreed 5 hours. A delicious lunch was provided everyday. My accomodation was clean and comfortable. The town itself is quite small. Very safe but not much to do. The beaches are beautiful, though and it's easy to take a bus to a nearby town. I would highly recommend this to any volunteer!

This experience was seriously 5/5 All of the staff are very welcoming and accommodating and if you'd like to try other tasks as well just ask! We did cooking, cleaning, gardening, and some sign creations and had an insanely good time doing it. The nature is gorgeous and it's a quaint town to be in. The accommodation is a basic bed and living room area for the travelers but they have an awesome net bedding outside on the roof that I hung out on a lot. Highly recommend

Great! This was my first Worldpackers and everything went great, starting from when I got accepted. We started talking right away and I received all the support I needed to reach the city. The living conditions are basic, great for community building and covering our needs. The tasks I got were diverse, as we agreed from the beginning, a bit of cooking and housekeeping, with great support from everyone working there. They were extremely kind and understandable, you'll get to meet a whole international community there, so open to talk about their culture and get to know yours. Thank you all!!!

I had an awesome time at Pinch. The team was welcoming, and the hours were exactly as described. There are tortoises in the back yard, which was a cool surprise. Just watch your step. For the most part, I was in the laundry room, and none of the work was difficult. Ask the team for feedback, they appreciate a proactive attitude! Pakoštane is beautiful. There isn't a lot to do in town, but the beach is close and the nearby towns are easily accessible. The accommodations were fine, not amazing, not terrible. Sometimes there's a funny smell. A small price to pay, though!
