Description
Hello everybody :))

My name is Vit, I am 33 years old, originally chemical engineer. But ... Be in the nature and feel that we are part of the nature is the best thing I know.

I moved in a property, where my grandparents lived and where I want to create an eco-place in the future and implement some elements of permaculture - It will be a long journey, but - Rome wasn´t built in a day.
It is located in the vilage called Dolní Bečva in Beskydy mountain under holly mountain Radhošť in the Wallachia region. Just and easily - almost at the end of the world :) This house and land around haven´t been used for 10 years, with stove in every room, so it is possible to survive hard winters :)

This place shouldn´t be a slavery, but place where you find your basics, which we lost in this hurry and fast-living era we are living in. I am opened to new points of view, discussions, experiences, experiments, learn something new, etc.

This year I am not having animals due to my travels.

Help
There are plenty of projects here - cutting trees, bushes, wood. And cut the grass (by scythe :) Some help in the house, then creation of new fields, compost, ponds, plant the trees, make new fences, and who knows :) Depends on your fantasy too :) But first of all - try to live with satisfaction and happiness.

Accommodation
There are 3 rooms in the house with beds, so you can have your own room if there are less then 3 volunteers here.
What else ...
Nice nature all around. I have a slack-line, so you can try to find your balance :) I can borrow a bicycle - very close is cycling route "Bečva" - around Bečva river. You can go to holly mountain Radhošť, the touristic path lead just around the house - 6km hiking path and you can continue to see the statue of pagan god Radegast and architecture on Pustevny hill. In the summertime you can have a bath in the brook, swim in the river, etc. Or just go to close town Rožnov (4km) to Wallachian Open Air Museum to have a look. Or just be lazy :)

And of course!!! Try local food from this region ;) I love specific sheep cheese called "brynza (I hope once for my own production :) Sheep breeding is very traditional in this region :) And cake "frgály" !!! woooooooooow!!!

Simon stayed with me for one week. The main work was cutting the wood from old destructed beehouse and make a place in front of the house where the wood was stored. Simon did very good job!

We talked a lot about political topics and differences between our cultures. Good luck with your studies!!!

PS: The water is running!!! :)))

I had a lot of fun here! Probably one of the best experiences of my life.

Almost everything was perfect, from the food (Vit is a very good cook) to the scenery to the people (Dolni Becva feels pretty remote, but it's easy to get to Roznov by bus or by bike; it's only about 5 kilometers).

Vit is a fantastic host, and it was a pleasure to… read more

Andres stayed for one week I would decribe him as a very polite black metal person :) Always willing to help with whatever need to be done.

We share the passion for the science and chemistry, but we both prefer different lifestyle than working in the companies, so we could talk about it. PS: The next day you left we did bring a goat and 3… read more

Indeed, the dandelion-honey was great! But not as much as the four tons of bear's garlic we collected on the first day and that we then eat... every single day! Plus, everything in the fridge got the smell of it...

Besides of that, everything was fine during my stay there, for the two weeks I spent in May. Vit is very friendly and easy-going,… read more

I stayed in Vit's place for around a week in April. I enjoyed this time a lot. It was exactly what I waited from my stay in Czech and much more. (Without sarcasm) We mostly worked outside in the garden and there's anyway always a good atmosphere around Vit. Now in Vienna I miss the view to the mountainshills.

Ivan was really big help for this starting, more less still borning project. He made a lot of work around the house, immediately joined the every-day run of the house - chopping wood, starting fire, water care, etc. and helped with this "invisible work" without any asking for that.

It was very nice to see russian point of view on "russian… read more

My stay with Vit was absolutely awesome.

He is a very nice and really relaxed guy, with a motto "do what you want". If you feel like cutting grass - you can do that. If you feel like digging - there is some of that, too. And if you feeling under the weather, tired from your travels and just want a day off just sleeping and reading - that is OK… read more
