    Description

    We are a family consisting of my wife, my two-year-old son, our older dog and myself.
    Our home is our little project and we hope to welcome you as our little support.
    Our home used to be a farm, but we don't keep animals or do any farming. We are renovating and refurbishing the farmhouse step by step.
    The house is situated in the countryside, where you can get to know the real Czech country life. Nevertheless, we are in the center of our village. Here is even a small supermarket and selling fresh pastries.
    We love our little village, because you have peace and space here, but also incredibly good energy.
    The best thing about our project is that you are constantly learning something new, you can develop yourself and be creative. Everything we have done to our house, barns and garden has only been possible with the occasional help of our family.

    If you would like to get to know a family with travel experience (travel and living in Van over years even in north and central America) and help us make our home more beautiful, please get in touch and we will be happy to discuss all further details with you personally.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We met great people on our journeys and hope to make new contacts and hear more experiences and travel stories through volunteering. What motivated you personally to travel and volunteer? We can tell you about our experiences. Be it shipping a van to America, traveling with dog and baby or getting in touch with others in other countries.

    We also want to give you the opportunity to stay with us a super friendly family and support your personal project. We work with different materials such as plants, wood, stone and concrete. This allows you to expand and consolidate your experience.

    My wife works as a teacher in Germany and can introduce you to different areas of education.
