Description

Hello everyone! 🌞​
We are new to this site and traveling this way so we hope for your consideration. We want to present our most true selves but we find writing is not always the easiest way to do so. c: If you want we can make a video call. Hope to get to know each other soon!


We both focus on sustainability, recycling, reusing, remaking, less waste lifestyle and community sharing.
Agat's goals for now are: learning more survival skills, getting to know prehistoric lifestyle and incorporating it into their own, practicing talking to people when we have different views and being able to find common ground, getting better at weaving and leather sewing.
Zet wish for the future is to live in a remote village with friends and work together in a natural (in the most possible way) glass studio. They hope to build and repair machinery (but have little experience in it, maybe you can help them out?)
We are interested in natural medicine and healthy food which results in being experimentative in the kitchen. We love to share food with friends and many of them appreciate the tastes.

Agat:
I’m a multi-skilled person and really keen on learning new things. I love working with people
in group projects, exchanging expirience, getting to now each other and just overall I really like to work, create and take pleasure out of the things I’ve done/we’ve done as a team (who doesn't?!). I’m open-minded, extravert, caring, patient, and adventurous person. I love to move that’s why I’ve been doing a lot of sports; at the moment I'm interested in calisthenics and climbing. Besides that I'm a psychology student now taking a gap year to unwind and develop myself in diverse ways.

Sometimes I need the instructions to be repeated but at the same time I have high stamina so I'm not getting tired so easily. I can quickly adapt to mostly anything 🙂
I adore nature that's why I recently started to collect herbs and fungi in the season. Right now I'm working on an agricultural farmhouse and making my dream come true which was milking a goat (easier than I thought!).

I'm an active and social person. I’ve helped organise a couple of festivals, two to mention: SZATKA (topic on art & ecology) and Summer of free love (education, LGBT+, psychology); I'm also part of local groups of Rhythms of Resistance and Food not bombs.


Zet:
I like practical and hard for the body kind of work. I like to feel the materials and learn how to behave with them and with the tools. My "professional" background is finishing a fine arts highschool and a bachelor degree in art and design of glass. I prefer "traditional" to digital but I'm able to use the graphic programmes so if you need a poster, postcard, set of papers, etc. we can work on that.
Speaking of abilities: besides being a glassblower and using basic repair tools I was shown how to use an angle grinder, how to weld and solder. I'm not the best but I believe that with a little practice I can regain proficiency. I would be really excited to do more wood and metal work.
On the soft side: I can cook (quite well but also untypical tastes - according to what my friends say) and I've experimented with kombucha and sourdough. If I manage to settle somewhere I would love to try pickling vegetables.

Everyday life gives me chills and thrills me no matter if it's good meal, visiting known or new places, experiencing a stunning view from the mountain or just having the perfect tea. Last ten months I've spent on an island and I feel I can't live in a city anymore. I would love to remain in the journey not only inside but also physically.

My social behaviour depends on the level of stress but I'm constantly working on myself and even though sometimes I can seem restrained I enjoy a laugh and good company. I think of myself as a grounded person but with a lot of smiles. c:

More details about my language interests
Both of us speak fluently or at least communicatively English. We could teach it as well as Polish - our mother tongue. Agat can speak also Russian and Zet - Italian, but not as much as to teach it. We would love to improve Norwegian, we learned it before. We think that we can pick up basics of any language if given some time and patience.

More details about your skills

Zet has a background in arts so can help with painting, photography, decoration and is able to learn quickly new manual skills (did a bit of metal work, welding and carpentry). They know how to use some of the graphic programs. Since early teenage years they've been cutting hair of their friends (and their own) so perhaps learning how to trim and groom animals' fur wouldn't be a big challenge. Agat fixed some of minor defects in the flat so can easily help with pipe change, lay out the silicone, make some carpentry. Some of their hobbies are working with leather, macrame and jewellery.
