VOLUNTEER JULIANE IN CROATIA
December 12, 2019
I like it when life brings (good) surprises. I planned to go to Israel
initially, but I just came back from Croatia instead ! My first Hovos
experience was just perfect: as I sit at a desk all day long in my
"normal" job I wanted to work physically and outdoors - I got it and
enjoyed the woodcutting with Robert ! I needed quiet time for myself, I did
have the chance to wander in the nearby hills, explore the sea shore and
discover many secret creeks, gaze at the starry sky... I had the chance to
drive Robert's little fishing boat and this was great, not because the sunrise
and sunset are just amazing from there, but because it felt like a privilege to
share Robert's passion, learn from him and share this special moment with him.
It is very thrilling to see the fish we caught as Robert was taking the nets
out of the water and I did even caught my first squid ever (OK, nothing hard in
achieving that, but it was so exciting) !
If you are interested...
