Kids, pets, musicians and other artists are welcome regardless of age or social status, but so is everyone else. No skills, knowledge, experience and/or enthusiasm are rejected.

I really enjoyed my time with Irena and her son! She was so hospitable, kind, and interesting to talk to. The work was super easy and relaxed- I cooked meals for them, picked ripe fruit, and helped with weeding/watering the garden. There's a beautiful creek very close by that I really enjoyed cooling off in, the wifi works great, and Irena taught me how to make homemade donuts and bread with very simple ingredients! She even did a tarot card reading for me which was super interesting and insightful. Much love to this sweet family 🥰

Hello Irena, we write you to let you know that we felt like leaving the place due to my health problem and its consecuences. I sometimed get ill and have asthma attacks in big or old houses. However, we wanted you to know that we have had a great time in Pribič and that we are veery grateful for the trust you've shown to us, you are a really kind and interesting person, with an interesting lifestyle. Thank you very much for the stay, we hope everything goes well for you bought, the house and for the animals in the future!

This was my first WorldPackers experience and it was really pleasant! The place where Irena's house is at is really green, peaceful and beautiful, and if you are looking to disconnect a little from the city life, this a really good place for that! Also, I was the only volunteer on the dates I went, but Irena and her 4 years old son Fela made me feel very welcome :) I enjoyed it a lot being there. Best wishes for both of you!
