The Experience

Come share life in Slovenia’s Soča Valley, next to the Soča River in the foothills of the Julian Alps. We’re a small family near Tolmin with our curious 3-year-old, hosting only cultural exchanges—sharing daily life, meals, stories, and skills. We enjoy paragliding, climbing, walking, and learning about cultures. I’m a maker, designer, and artist, and skilled guests are especially welcome.

Andrew has a lot of experiences and a lot of plans with the place which he like to share. There is still a lot of things to do, but because he has a vision with the place he always knows what he wants from you to do. The palce is working pretty good, because he has a system how he manages the place. And the nature around is wonderful and there's a lot of places to visit 😁

Andrew welcomed me for a short visit. The people and the food were amazing! We visited the river most days, which was such a highlight. The work was easy—mainly gardening tasks like weeding and cleaning—and we played lots of card games in our downtime. I was especially lucky to be there while a professional chef was staying, so the food was truly exceptional. I'll really miss the vibe of the house and all the great people. Thank you for such a memorable stay!

Andrew is a great host, many thanks for having me. I had a great experience, starting on a new patio project. For a great, cool outdoor area to relax and enjoy meals or just reading a book.Would also be a great spot for watching the many paragliders in the air.For me, it was best to go down to the beach by the river after lunch. The colours of the water is pretty spectacular. Great for sunbathing and meeting locals. Lots of other walks also very close to walk for alone/ friends and nature time. Meeting and spending time with fellow travellers was special and will definitely stay with me!

Gorgeous valley, river just 10 mins walk distance, surrounded by beautiful green mountains! Almost a month has gone by since I got here and I'll be staying for another week! Gabrje it's a very nice place if you are looking to disconnect from hectic rutine and allow yourself to enjoy the nature. Go hiking, cool down in the river and watch the stars. Chores usually start early in the morning and be finished by noon, which allows you to enjoy and relax the rest of the day. Andrew is a kind host, easy going and with lots of stories! And the other volunteers I met are also really nice people.

Great food and a beautiful valley! Pristine river with a beach to swim and sunbathe just 10 mins walk away. Mountains to go hiking and a hammock to relax in on the terrace. The work is hard but fair so long as you don't mind early starts! But this leaves more or less the whole day to have as your own. I got into a great routine and feel much healthier after leaving. Will miss everyone all the best x
