Žiga, thankyou for sharing your time and your way of life with me. It was a truly rewarding experience staying at your place, learning new skills, trying new foods and soaking in the peace that a nature filled day brings. If you are keen on escaping from the chaos of modern times, I highly recommend staying at Otlica. Thankyou again for your hospitality and kindness Žiga, I hope coming winters will fair well for you!

This was my first volunteering experience with Worldpackers. I really enjoyed it, and Ziga was always very welcoming and flexible. I was only there for five days, but it was a wonderful experience. Time seemed to pass more slowly; they were days of peace and tranquillity. It's the perfect experience for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in nature, take a break and learn new things. Thank you so much, Ziga – I wish you all the best with your project.

I spent a bit more than a month at Žiga's place and I can wholeheartedly say that I greatly liked it. Žiga is a caring, thoughtful and even-tempered person and made living with him about as easy as it could be. While I appreciate his more easy-going approach to handling volunteers and their work, I found myself missing a bit of leadership role for the project at times. That is of course just a personal preference. The land and the way of life calmed me down increadibly, and I have to admit that I do really miss being there. Thank you so much for everything Žiga! I hope to return someday :)

I spent only a week at Žiga's place but really enjoyed it ! Living in nature feels so good. And he created a unique place where you feel very welcomed. Žiga set up an atmosphere where initiative and creativity are encouraged. It is so refreshing to have the space to learn by trying and experiencing your ideas. Thanks to him it felt okay and safe to do so. He also has very good advices ! And the nights by the fire were so cool ! Thank you for that experience

A beautiful place surrounded by nature, silence, and a completely different rhythm of life.Ziga has created something special here. It reminds you that freedom is not about having everything around you, but about being comfortable with what you have.
