The Experience

Hello dear friends We are two adorable cats called Baguera and Pompon. We live in a very beautiful farm in the center of a so small village of four families in the south of Slovenia. The surroundings are stunning and at the top of a small mountain. Our village is surrounded by one of the last primal forest of Europe and full of everything you want like mouses and cat nip. The best place a cat could dream of. Just join us there :)

This was my first experience with worldpackers and it was amazing! Vivien is really considerate of every volunteer, and you can always tell him how you're feeling throughout your stay. The shared spaces we lived in were very cozy and comfortable. There's a lot of free time and a nice river near where we swam, but there's always some work to do if you get bored! Daily tasks are feeding the animals and renovating the second house. Mistakes happen when you try something new, and Vivien knows that, so don't worry if you make a mistake!

Me and my friend stayed here for 2 weeks and it was great! Vivien is welcoming and has a big heart- he is understanding and patient even when we made a lot of mistakes! We learnt a lot of skills including gardening, plastering, painting, sanding etc and the work hours are very flexible and we had a lot of free time. The animals are very cute also! would definitely recommend for those wanting to reconnect with nature and a break from the city! beware of the mosquitoes though🦟

An unforgettable experience in a beautiful Slovenian setting. This small the farm offered the perfect mix of creativity, learning, and community. I picked up valuable life skills like plastering, painting, and animal care, all in a supportive and inspiring environment. The people were warm and welcoming, with fun games and immersive story times that made every day special. Couldn't recommend it more, a truly enriching experience!

My girlfriend and I visited Vivien's farm, and it was perfect. It was a great way to escape city life and enjoy nature. I learned many useful skills such as gardening, painting, plastering, basic electrical work, sanding, caring for animals, and so much more. I loved spending time with the cuddly cats and kittens😸. Vivien is warm, generous and welcoming, and we felt at home from the start. Work hours were flexible, and afternoons by the river were relaxing. The atmosphere was chill, and I met many nice people. I'd recommend this volunteering to anyone looking for something fun and meaningful.
