The experience

My friends and I live in the mountain Orjen above Herceg Novi(Montenegro). We live on a ranch where there are three houses and a plot of 1000m2. We have enough room to accommodate Worldpacker. My friends and I form a small community with 3 members. We often start various projects related to nature, pets and local domestic products. We as a small community are open to exchange culture, skills and knowledge with Worldpackers.

Program Details

Life in the mountains in the countryside is often demanding with daily responsibilities inside and outside the home. What we expect from Worldpackers to help us with is: Help with household chores, taking care of pets, and helping with small projects in the countryside on the ranch where we live.

We offer comfortable mountain accommodation in a mountain house where Worldpackers will live separately. It contains: Kitchen, bathroom, toilet, bedroom, living room and constant internet access.

There is also enough space on our ranch for two to three campers and camping vans, for 5-10 tents; with full logistics (Electricity, water, toilet, internet). In case the Workawayer does not have his own equipment, we offer: Tents, sleeping bags, camping van (WV T3) and other.

We offer 2 meals a day, the type of food is in agreement with the Worldpackers.


Activities & Shift

In their free time, Worldpackers can hike on mountain Orjen, visit an adventure park, rent quad bikes and bicycles, consume local home-made meals and drinks in local taverns, and visit the Montenegrin coast and the cultural heritage of the coastal cities (Herceg Novi, Kotor, Tivat, Budva...) only 15-40 km away from mountain Orjen.

Worldpakers who have adequate documents for visiting the EU can visit Dubrovnik (a world-famous tourist destination only about 40 km away).
There are also many other interesting tourist destinations such as: Durmitor, Žabljak, Lake Skadar, Bjelašnica near Sarajevo, Mostar (old bridge), Sarajevo, Kravice Waterfalls, ...

We have our own personal means of transportation that we use to purchase necessities and visit interesting locations in Montenegro and the surrounding region.


Rules

As a small community, we live a relaxed rural life with simple everyday tasks. We behave in a friendly manner towards each other and we expect the workawayer to behave in this spirit as well.
We prefer people who prefer community life and human manner (understanding, compassion, simplicity, patience and hard work).
