    Description

    We are a family of four (Frantisek 41, Martina 40, Lilian 15 and Ester 17 years old), living in a small village called Skály (near Strakonice), the nearest town Volyně is 10 km. We have a lot of animals, hens, dog, cat, goats . We live on a large farm, but since we are reconstructing it, we live in three rooms with a bathroom. For the helper(s) we have ready a private little house, which is also in the picture. There is a stone and it is two-storey (about 7m²). Upstairs is a sleeping area, downstairs is a couch that can also be spread out . Clean your teeth, bathe, go to the toilet and the bathroom, all this is possible in our home. We cook meals mostly without meat. We don't have meat very often, so once a month, and if we do, just from our animals. We make bread our own, sourdough and we use only high-quality ingredients and vegetables from our garden for food. We also have an apple orchard and two large nuts. About 500m behind the house we have a large outdoor swimming pool and we also have lots of forests around. The nearest shop is 6km. And that's probably all, now you can ask :). Yeah, and we also have about 1.5 km from us such a small castle and 8km from us the great ruins of Helfenburg Castle. We don´t smoke.


    Jsme čtyřčlenná rodina (František 41, Martina 40, Lilian 15 a Ester 17 let), žijící v malé (cca 70 lidí) vesničce jménem Skály (u Strakonic), nejbližší město Volyně je vzdáleno 10km. Máme spoustu zvířat, asi 20 slepic, 1 psa, 1 kočku, kozy. Bydlíme na velkém statku, ale jelikož ho rekonstruujeme, tak bydlíme ve třech místnostech i s koupelnou. Pro pomocníka máme připravený soukromý domek, který je i na fotce. Jsou v něm kamínka a je dvoupatrový (cca 7m²). Nahoře je prostor na spaní, dole je gauč, který jde také rozložit. Vyčistit si zuby, vykoupat, dojít na wc a do koupelny, to vše je možné u nás doma. Jídla vaříme převážně bez masa (vegetariánská). Maso moc často nemáme, tak jednou do měsíce, a když už jo, tak jen z našich zvířat. Chleba si děláme vlastní, kváskový a na jídlo používáme jen kvalitní suroviny a také zeleninu z naší zahrádky. Máme také sad s jablkama a dva velké plodící ořešáky. Asi 500m za domem máme velké venkovní koupaliště a také máme kolem spoustu lesů. Nejbližší obchod je 6km. A to je asi vše, kdyžtak se ptejte. Jo, a také máme asi 1,5 km od nás takový malý hrádek a 8km od nás velkou zříceninu hradu Helfenburg. Jsme nekuřáci.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can go to the swimming pool, go to castles (there is the smallest newest castle in the Czech republic), have a good meal (we usually make risotto, pizza, mixed with rice, pasta with some sauce, potatoes with something, bread, foccaccia, pancakes, waffles, we also make goat cheese and cottage cheese ...). You can also learn to mow (with scythe), milk, learn Czech (and you will be our teacher of English or other languages :)). And a lot of other things and things that are commonplace for us, but they can be of benefit to you. Such as playing with animals.

    Můžete chodit na to koupaliště, zajít si na hrady, máme dobré jídlo (většinou děláme rizotto, pizzu, různé směsi s rýží, těstoviny s nějakou omáčkou, brambory s něčím, chléb, vafle, palačinky, foccacciu, také děláme kozí sýry a tvaroh...). Také se můžete naučit kosení (s kosou), dojit, učení češtiny (a vy budete našimi učiteli angličtiny či jiných jazyků :)). A spousta dalších věcí a prací, které jsou pro nás samozřejmostí, ale pro vás mohou být přínosné. Jako například hrát si se zvířátky.

    Can possibly accept pets

    We accept them but we have a lot of animals so the animal (with who you would like to come) must be calmly, not dangerous and friendly to people and other animals. It would also be better if you brought your own food for the animal.
