    Description

    We live in a romantic valley 12 minutes from downtown Praha by city transport! We need help with things, that are actually fun to do - but even more fun if we are not alone to do them. Like giving the goats hey, milking them, taking the goats for the pasture, be a friend to our 3 years old girl...
    We want You to be happy with us, so we want You to feel good, work only when You will enjoy doing it. You can, of course, also venture thru the historical city or hike in the charming landscape of our surroundings, play with the goats, baby goats, cats or dog that live with us.
    Of course, we want You to be satisfied and we also want us to be happy. It is hard to predict how we will "click" together, how the mutual chemistry will work. So we can leave things flexible for now and we will see. What we do prefer though are people who will like our way of living, who will feel that they want to help us and who will therefore see things that need to be done and do them. Because we are not bossy, we are not even good organizers. It is often easier for us to do things ourselves instead of asking for help.

    We provide ample food.

    Can teach you how to hypnotize (it is a very useful skill), share experiences from travelling...

    Acommodation: You can have a private room in the attic. Sometimes, share it with other volunteers. The walls are insulated. There is a woodstove there. We have enough wood, so if You care to stay warm, You can keep the fire in the stove. We can teach You how to, if You don´t have an experience. Some volunteers prefer to not bother with making the fire in the stove and hide under many layers of blankets - it is up to U. It is not as easy and convenient place to sleep as a room with central heating though - You have been warned :-)
    We can provide a sleeping bag, if you will not have any. And a sheet and pillow. If You will have Your own stuff: even better. If You will still be cold, we have extra blankets - we dont want you to be uncomfortable in our house.

    Second option is a tent in the garden. By the creek, under the apple trees, under the spruces - the choice is Yours. We have a tent that You can use. And mats. Of course, this option is for those that enjoy the cold of the outside.

    For references, see also my CS profile - I hosted over 500 people, and have over 100 references there (my profile is "petr_" ).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn how to live in harmony with the goats and with the world. We live a full life but we consume very little resources. We can teach You how to become a hypnotist or how to benefit from hypnosis (it is a very healing skill)(but this is only if You ask), how to travel with very low budget and resources, we can teach You Czech, English, Polish, Russian, Slovak languages, etymology, Czech literature... and, of course, since we live very close to downtown Praha (Prague), You will get to know this beautiful city.
