The Experience

I'm renovating an old stone house that my grandmother left me and I need help. It's summer now and I'm not working too much, but a little help would be nice. If you're traveling and need some peace in a rural setting near Pula airport and want to learn about construction, gardening and rural life, come to me. Sometimes I go to the beach with my car, sometimes to Pula, and I will gladly include you in my activities.

Alen is a chill, kind and respectful guy. We helped him out with some gardening and cleaning tasks. We had an incredible week with Alen and he left an impression on us. In that short time Alen showed us a different way of living that we aspire to incorporate into our own lives. Thanks for everything 😊

Evangeline is an interesting young girl, her roots are partly Maori which is visible in her attitude, she expresses herself clearly and knows what she wants, a lawyer by profession. She is one of three girls from New Zealand who came together and helped me with my daily projects. They quickly got used to the fact that I don't have a schedule but spontaneously plan my duties for that day every morning. Eva did very well and I thank her.

Great experience! Alen really taught me how to live the chill life with no schedule and good vibes. He was super friendly and a great energy to be around. The work was just 2 hours a day mostly helping with gardening and cleaning and kindly gave us a day off when we were sick. He also took the time to teach me how to use a chainsaw which I was super eager to learn. If you like a tight schedule this isn't for you. We loved our stay with Alen

Before this experience, I was excited to enjoy Pula as informed and provide a positive clean environment at the location. Once I arrived, it was clear I was not going to be the Center the sea in Pula. There was no explanation of the different address or what my tasks were going to be or how the worldpackers experience was going to work. I was introduced to many of the hosts friends and family and even stayed at a completely different house. I attempted to take initiative and communicate, but those efforts were barely reciprocated. I tried to understand my position, but it was not clear at all.

I Left Limeja but Limeja will never leave me. I loved my stay here and recommend all open hearted travelers to go to this magical place. I had the chance of discovering so many different workshops. Allen is a fascinating host with so much wisdom. This experience was life changing to me, it's very different from anything I experienced and I am Cherishing all theses memories. The nature is beautiful, saw dauphins for the first time, breathtaking sunsets, amazing sea and inspiring people. I will miss this place, I hope to come back Hvala for everything
