Currently in Czech Republic, heading to NZ next month. Eager to volunteer from November. Keen on meeting new people, learning new manual skills and exploring NZ's natural beauty.
My next destination:
New Zealand - from Oct 2023 until Oct 2024 View allDescription
Hey there! I'm new here and I am an adventurous soul from the Czech Republic, who spent most of a life in the hustle and bustle of the city. But for more than 3 years, I've been craving longer and deeper connection with nature and a slower pace of life instead of short trips. I'm gearing up for the journey of a lifetime in New Zealand to find just that. What gets me going? Well, I'm all about independence, meeting awesome people, and soaking up the beauty of nature. I'm a "Golden Retriever" personality—always positive, love to laugh, silly jokes and wearing smile. Negative vibes? Not my thing. I thrive on meaningful conversations and purpose-driven thinking.
When it comes to work, I'm professional, meticulous, and sometimes even a perfectionist. I've got a knack for marketing, but what I'm really missing is the joy of manual labor and the simple pleasures of life—things that city life doesn't offer much. I'm eager to learn new manual skills, appreciate the little things, and immerse myself into nature.
So, if you're a host who values positivity, purpose, and a good laugh, but also appreciates a strong work ethic and a love for the simple things, I can't wait to team up with you! I'm all in for opportunities that offer growth, learning, and a chance to give back to the community.Interests

Absolutely, I have a keen interest in languages! I studied Spanish for four years and would love the opportunity to brush up on it, as I've forgotten quite a bit over time. While I may not be in a position to teach languages at an advanced level, I could definitely help with basic English skills. Whether it's conversational practice or going through the fundamentals, I'm all in for a language exchange experience!Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn

Helping with Computers/ InternetMore details about your skills
I bring a wide array of skills to the table, thanks to a diverse work history. Starting with my experience in technical support, I've honed my problem-solving abilities and learned how to manage stress effectively. As a courier, I mastered the art of long-haul driving without significant breaks, punctuality, and customer communication.
In my role as a sales representative, I excelled in customer engagement, offering new products, and ensuring timely payments. This position also taught me how to spot new business opportunities and manage client relationships. My time in the food and beverage industry, both as a waiter and a lead waiter, has given me a strong foundation in customer service, inventory management, and even some marketing activities. I'm comfortable working with various payment systems and have experience in team leadership.
I've also done manual labor jobs, from factory work to cleaning, which makes me no stranger to hard work and physical tasks. I'm eager to apply these skills in a new setting and am always open to learning more.Age

What else ...
When it comes to board games, I enjoy them mostly as a socializing tool rather than a hardcore hobby. They've been the backdrop for many great memories with friends. Concerts hold a special place in my heart; for me, they're the perfect blend of social interaction and music. I'm also fascinated by the sky and the universe; watching sunsets and stargazing are some of my favorite ways to unwind. Physical fitness is important to me, so I often go for runs in nature or engage in other forms of exercise. As for other hobbies, I love swimming and have recently taken up pottery. I also dabble in drawing and computer graphics, purely for the joy it brings me. While I can't claim to be a singer, I absolutely love singing—it's another form of expression that I thoroughly enjoy.
