Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am over 60. I graduated at the Mendel University of Agriculture and Forestry in 1984. I worked on the farm as a technician with animal breeding (cows, pigs, cattle, bulls). After my maternity leave (I have two adult sons) and political changes in our country, I could not work in the farm then. I started to teach English and P.E. at the Secondary School of Business. I upgraded my teaching skills by passing Cambridge Teaching Knowledge Test and I gained some more certificates. I have been teaching there for more than 20 years:)
My range of hobbies is very wide. I am interested in almost everything. I love being out in forests and the countryside, I like physical activities, I use my bike or scooter to get almost everywhere. I love being alone and to be with friendly people, I love hiking in the mountains, skiing, snowboarding and also going to the theatre or cinema and reading books.
As you see from my date of birth I am not a teenager but sometimes I feel as young as my students. I am in a good shape physically and I would prefer to be outside during my volunteering. Working with animals on a farm, in the garden, forest or in the field should be great.
I have a driving license for cars, motorbikes, and tractors.
As I am retired now I could spend not just my summer holidays (about 3-4 weeks) volunteering in a friendly place with meaningful work and pleasant people. I feel that it would be a better way to get to know something new. I visited quite a lot of European countries usually on my bike and once I was in the U.S.A. (not on my bike:)
I am a member of the CouchSurfing community and I also have a profile on Linkedin.com. You can find more information about me there...
I have had a double workaway experience from the farm in Portugal. Next year it was not through this site because we communicated privately. Then 3 weeks spent in a natural and sustainable farm in Lappland, in a place where foxes say Good night. And in 2023 I spent three weeks in Thailand taking care of dogs.
