Description
We're a couple of Vlad and Dasha living in the protected landscape area of Bohemian Paradise, surrounded by forests, spectacularly beautiful landscape and many historical landmarks just 90 kilometers north-east of Prague. As a family, we're dedicated to our craft of creating unique metallic musical instruments. Instruments of unprecedented quality and sound. The instrument itself is a fairly recent innovation, so called "steel tongue drum".
If you didn't catch it yet from my boasting, we take pride in what we do. :)
Many of the instruments are then gifted to kindergartens, elderly homes or to those who are in need, as they've been observed to have many positive effects on the human psyche. Others are sold. We would love to have you join us on our journey!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You will have the opportunity to learn how to play the hang drum and pan steel drums. We will share our travel/cultural/lifestyle experiences and do language practice. This is also a great option for those who want spiritual development or just peace, as we focus on meditating on the vibrations of our drums.
You can also awaken your artistic self by decorating a musical instrument for yourself personally. We'll give you some tips, but the rest is up to you and your creativity.Host offers payment in line with the minimum wage

Help
There's so much that you could help us out with! First of all we would appreciate foreign people who would be willing to translate website into their mother language and shoot videos or anybody who has knowledge about video shooting and cutting etc. It would help us immensely with possibly expanding into other countries in the future, as right now we're just a small family business based in Czechia. Working with you would broaden our understanding of foreign cultures, so if you're from abroad, we would love to learn about your country and your culture from you.
We also need help with repairs to the house where volunteers live - this could be painting walls or beautifying rooms.
Another way to assist us would be to provide support to learners of our musical instrument. Some people are closeted musicians and they need a little assistance before they let themself go playing away at the drums. It could be a bunch of children at a kindergarten or another like-minded individual who just got himself one of our drums :).
You can do whatever will interest you and make you feel fulfilled. We only work for the enjoyment of it.
We are open to your ideas and ready to do everything we can to make sure you are satisfied with your stay with us.
We offer the basic minimum wage rate in the Czech Republic.
