  Description

  NOT HOSTING ANYMORE
  
  AUTUMN UPDATE: [Feel free to drop me a message, even if it's a copy-paste. I will answer if I can help you. Apologies for not having answered all of you my friends, but recent time has been quite busy and demanding, so couldn't focus on Hosting]
  
  Hello and Welcome travelers, adventurers, artists, musicians, couples, singles and families.
  
  My name is Adam (38). I have 2 sons (3 and 5) who stay with me typically at the weekends. I used to be a traveler, vagabond and traveling volunteer too, so I guess I understand some of your needs.
  I live in a house with garden in the countryside, in the south-west corner of Poland, nearby a forest and mountains. A lot of possibilities for trekking, hiking, relaxing,.
  There's some help to do in the garden and in the house.
  Cleaning, organizing, cutting grass, construction work, burning old branches and leaves, cooking for yourself, house-sitting, keeping fire in the stove, staying with the children sometimes (ONLY if you want to).
  
  I work in another city. Sometimes I'm at home, sometimes not. It is important for me that the house is not empty for a long time.
  
  There's a cat in the house. More in the garden than i house actually.
  
  You can use my music instruments if you want (electronic piano, guitars). I can teach you basics of music and Polish language.
  
  You can use my tools for work or for your hobby.
  
  I have a car, so I can help you with transportation.
  
  There is an independent social centre (theater, arts, yoga, permaculture) just 1km from my house. You will meet friends there. They are also on Workaway as hosts.
  
  Supermarket, pharmacy. bus stop: 1,5 km
  Railway station:
  13 km (Gryfów Śląski)
  45 km (Jelenia Góra)
  Other cities nearby: Świeradów Zdrój (11 km), Lubań, Zgorzelec (Goerlitz)
  Airports nearby:
  Wrocław 140 km (2-3 h by car)
  Prague (CZ)
  Berlin (DE)
  
  Smoking and occasional alcohol are ok.
  Cigarettes only outside please.
  No hard drugs.
  
  I tend to be introvert, socially awkward, odd, direct and straightforward, which is sometimes perceived as mad or rude. I try not to expand my own emotions upon the others. I can be respectful and empathetic too. I've been in a therapeutic process forever now, so I can understand many emotions, reasons and attitudes. My guest usually go along well with me: see feedback.
  
  If you are a last-minuter or just surfing around and in need of a short-time host, feel free to drop me a line as well. I know that finding a host might be difficult at times, therefore I am not against copy-paste messages. However, when texting me, please personalize the message a bit, referring to my description, please include my name and at least one sentence saying why would you like to stay with me, so I know you read the whole thing.

  Can host digital nomads

  Unfortunately there is no cable connection at home and I connect through my mobile phone. I can share the connection when I am at home. It is enough for youtube or netflix, so should be enough for standard office work, however, if you're a streamer or attend video conferences you might wish to have your own connection (pre-paid simcards with some Gigabytes are pretty affordable). If you are going to stay for 2 months or more, or I start receiving workawayers I may think about dedicated Internet connection for you.
