Description
Hello :),
we are a young couple (31,33) from Czech Republic. We spent two years in New Zealand working outside on orchards as a fruit pickers. We were lucky to live with a great local people who became our second family. We also spent a year in Canadian mountains exploring this country and working there as well.
We´ve been doing Workaway in Canada, Hawaii, Uganda and Tanzania. The travelling means for us to feel the vibe of the place and connect to the local culture as much as possible. That´s why we love workaway. We love to contribute and be part of the community.
We are Civil Engineer and Landscape Architect who are willing to work manually. We love to take care of animals. We are also in a group of people who make summercamps for childern. We´ve already done a lot of volunteering (New Zealand, Japan, Vietnam, Mauritius, Canada, Hawaii). We are great with tools with an eye for the details. We are currently building a brickhouse for us by ourselfs.
We are together as a couple more than 17 years, so no drama with us.
We are looking forward to meeting new people and experiencing new cultures.
