Thank you to the whole family for welcoming me during my stay. Specifically Dolinda and her children and Lola <3. I worked every evening from roughly 5-10pm delivering food and washed dishes, however it was off season so some nights I only had an hour or so of work. As others have said there's a few hikes nearby but not much else to do so it was very quiet without any other volunteers but I enjoyed the peacefulness. And a big thank you to Ramush for all the wonderful meals he cooked for me!! Definitely message me if you have any questions abt this experience.

My two weeks volunteering at the lodgeKaty in Montenegro were truly an amazing experience. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the people I met were kind, creating strong friendships along the way. The work was rewarding, with manageable shifts that left plenty of time to explore the beautiful surroundings. We enjoyed stunning hikes through nature, and I loved how the community emphasized sustainable living practices. It was a perfect balance of meaningful work and free time.

This is a great opportunity that allows you to explore the national park area and go on incredible hikes. The host family is very friendly and does everything possible to make sure volunteers are happy and comfortable. The work is pretty easy and you will not need to spend money much at all during the stay. You do need to be assertive though and speak up/call when you need help because you will likely be left alone sometimes. Also apart from hiking there is not much else to do the place is a 45 min walk from the nearest town/market. But you can likely get a ride there from the hosts.

I had a wonderful experience atthe lodge! Doni and his family immediately created a welcoming and respectful environment and I felt like I was part of a family. The hours were respected, I worked 7 to 12 on breakfast shift and had the rest of the day to explore or have my own free time. I had some really meaningful experiences and I am grateful to everyone at the lodgefor making my stay so comfortable. The other volunteers were great, I would go back in a heartbeat!
