Description

My name is Marek, I'm from the Czech Republic and I'm just starting my Workaway journey — ready to learn, help and connect.

I’m a trained landscape architect with a deep appreciation for nature, design, and sustainability. I love getting my hands dirty, whether it’s gardening, creating something beautiful, or helping out with everyday tasks. I'm especially interested in how people shape their surroundings, and I always enjoy contributing to spaces that bring people together.

I also really love animals and feel comfortable around them — whether it’s helping with pets, farm animals, or simply being around them. I’m happy to lend a hand with agricultural work or other outdoor tasks as well.

Besides my professional background, I'm passionate about languages, art, and discovering new cultures. I speak Czech, English and I'm learning French and German. I'm also into sports — I love hiking, running, fitness etc. Pretty much anything that gets me moving outdoors.

Even though I’m new to Workaway, I’m curious, open-minded, and always try to bring a positive attitude wherever I go. I’m respectful of others, happy to adapt, and I genuinely enjoy helping out and learning along the way.

Looking forward to new experiences, meaningful exchanges, and meeting inspiring people around the world!

More details about your skills

Gardening and plant care
I have years of hands-on experience with gardening, landscaping and plant production. I can help with planting, pruning, propagation, garden maintenance or creating functional and aesthetic green spaces.

Construction and manual work
As a trained architect, I’m used to both design and physical work on construction sites. I can assist with building, repairing, organizing materials, or working with basic tools — always with a careful and thoughtful approach.

Animal care
I grew up around animals and spent time volunteering at a wildlife rescue center. I feel comfortable caring for both pets and farm animals — feeding, cleaning, walking, or just being a calm and reliable presence.

Cooking
I enjoy cooking and feel confident in the kitchen. I’m used to preparing healthy, home-style meals and I enjoy sharing food with others. I’m happy to help with cooking for groups, cleaning up, or contributing to a warm, communal kitchen.

Sports & physical training
I have a background in sports and personal training, and I’m happy to share what I know. Whether it’s stretching, outdoor exercise, or movement routines, I enjoy supporting others in staying active and feeling good.

Marketing & graphic design (basic level)
I have some experience with visual communication and marketing — creating simple graphics, promotional materials or helping with the visual side of small projects or events.

General help & good company
I’m reliable, calm, and self-organized. I enjoy working independently as well as being part of a team. I’m also a good listener and thoughtful communicator — I believe in working with respect, care, and a bit of humor.
