Description
Bonjour🇫🇷/Ahoj🇸🇰/Hey🇬🇧, my name is Marek, I'm 23 years old, and for the last 16 years or so I've lived in Oxfordshire, England. I am originally from Slovakia and can also speak the language.

During covid I switched up my career direction from outdoor adventure activities instructor/ camp leader(which I still really enjoying doing) to working with horses in a natural horsemanship centre and a showjumping yard.

I have wanted to learn french properly for years now, so I decided what better way to combine that and my passion for horses than go to France to be with horses. I've only just began my new adventure but I hope to make incredible memories, learn new things, meet cool people, and improve myself in any way I can.

With the winter season also slowly approaching I would love to improve my skiing and/or learn about dog sledding.

Anyway if you've read all this I wish you a nice day and hope you get in contact✌️

I really enjoyed spending 2 weeks at Danièle's place in October, where she has a really nice farm with beautiful horses. I got to do a variety of farm work and help with the vaulting which was interesting, whilst getting to spend lots of time with Sirine (the other girl working there) who I'm glad to have met and wish her the best with her horse… read more

So I had an absolutely terrific time with the Wonderful Noémie, interesting Erwan, Professional pianist Melenn and crazy energetic Aëla. I stayed for 1 month and made memories which were unique, enriching, and fun.

He also made good progress with his spoken French and made the effort to do his Galop 1. Marek is fun to chat with and easy to get along with. I'm sure you… read more
