Description
Hello, we are a family of three from Czech republic, Alena (34) Robert (46) and our dog Dexter (5). I'm (Alena) an Ing. (MSc) of civil engeneering and I've worked six years in laboratory for Cemex.
Robert is an Ing. (MSc) of information technology and management. He has worked many years for IT company like a consultant for business customers but last few years he is working for nonprofit environmental group JARO - www.jarogroup.org . Robert helps with manual works (fencing, moving of vegetation) and he is websites and eshop administrator.
We like nature, animals and life more in harmony with nature. We are non-smokers. We are traveling by car (Ford Focus) that we are able to come to the end of the world. :-)

Our dog Dexter is basenji boy and like a right basenji is very clean and barkless, he doesn't shed. Dexter is really calm dog and he is able to sleep almost all day, especially in bad weather. Dexter travels with us :-)
(for more information about this breed https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basenji).

We lived in the city in an apartment, but we decided to move to our cottage, which Robert renovated by himself, so that we can be closer to nature, which we love.

We can help with:
plasters, tiling, paving (indoor and outdoor)
masonry work
house and garden cleaning, painting
renovation and repair of furniture, equipment, bicycles, ...
woodwork, carpentry
landscaping
IT and computers

Many years I (Alena) rode on horses and sometimes I teached children about riding. I went to summer camps as an instructor. I have some practice skills about horses daycare. But when we decided to have a dog I stopped my riding lessons and I dedicated my time to our dog.

Alena is experienced with horses and took on complete care of my three arabs – feeding, doing stable chores and exercising my old boys. She was very observant of their needs, and… read more

Alena and Robert, are excellent Workawayers. They are super intelligent, kind, caring, and very good workers. They also are full of honesty and integrity.
If they say they can do a job it will be done efficiently and effectively. They will consult you with any queries but you will not need to supervise them.
They are calm and mature people with… read more

We spent less than two weeks with Francis and Helen and we know we must definitely come back here. A beautiful, peaceful place in nature with lots of walking paths. A short distance from beautiful beaches and also a short distance to the mountains. Francis and Helen are really nice people and we felt welcome here.
We enjoyed the beautiful weather… read more

Robert and Alena (and Dexter!) were wonderful guests to host through Workaway. They were hard-working, respectful of our home, and integrated seamlessly into our off-grid lifestyle during their nearly 5-week stay.

They were always cheerful and lent a hand wherever needed - whether it was helping construct the gypsy wagon, tending to garden tasks,… read more

We spent less than two weeks with this wonderful family and it was great. We felt welcome from the start. They are really kind and kept asking us if we have everything and if we need anything.

Our time spent at this place was great. Host Virginia and her family are very nice and friendly people. We felt welcome and had everything we needed. Everything could be arranged and the work made sense. It was our first experience with a workaway and a better place and the host we could not wish for.
