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!

When I arrived in Split, Irena was super helpful and gave me all the possible ways to get to the volunteering location, as well as tips for buying a chip, apps to use for travel. But we were practically 350 km away from the place and Irena offered a ride after we arrived in Jastrebarsko, also concerned about each stage of the journey, in contact checking that we were ok. We went through many difficulties along the way and she motivated us to continue, I felt as if we had been friends for years, but unfortunately we were unable to reach our destination due to the lack of public transport.

Truly had the best time with Irena. Living near a quaint little town in the picturesque Croatian mountains was a great life experience and I recommend it to everyone wanting to get away from the busy city life for a while . I met a lot of fantastic locals who where very friendly and outgoing. All the best James .

My experience in Pribic was amazing, I received a warm welcome from Irena who is an amazing host, and met other travellers who were great to hang with! The place was gorgeous with lots of walking routes, providing great opportunities for photography. It was healing, and a welcome break from the busy city's.
