Description
Oba studujeme na univerzitě, ale vždycky jsme chtěli jet do zahraničí a zažít něco nového. Proto jsme se rozhodli cestovat a pomáhat ostatním lidem během letních prázdnin. Vzdělání je v této době velmi důležité, ale podle nás vystoupit ze své komfortní zóny – cesta do cizí země člověka nejvíce otužuje a dává nám mnoho zkušeností a příležitostí setkat se s novými lidmi z celého světa. Na dobrovolnictví se nám líbí, že pomáháte lidem v projektech, které vám dávají smysl, poznáváte místní kulturu zevnitř a učíte se nové věci. Pro nás je sen něco takového zažít. Milujeme cestování a objevování nových míst. Jsme oba velmi dobrodružní lidé, když jeden z nás něco vymyslí, jdeme do toho hned. Velmi podobné to bylo s prací. Máme rádi všechny druhy sportů, zejména stolní tenis – Adel je profesionální hráč. Naty se zajímá o zdravé jídlo a domácí výrobu. Adel bydlí ve městě, kde studujeme, ale před pár lety žili na vesnici a Naty žije v malé vesnici. Takže máme k přírodě velmi blízko a dáváme přednost vesnicím nebo menším městům. Díky životu na vesnici pěstujeme hodně ovoce a zeleniny a je více práce kolem domu i na zahradě. Zajímáme se o udržitelný způsob života a moc se nám líbí život na farmě, kde si lidé všechno pěstují a vyrábějí sami a nepotřebují velké obchodní domy a spoustu dnešních zbytečností. Adel momentálně pracuje na částečný úvazek v pekárně a Naty pracuje na částečný úvazek jako servírka ve vinném sklepě, ale jsme otevřeni se naučit i nové dovednosti.

Natalie has been very interested in English since elementary school and even wanted to fly to America as an au-pair after high school, but she did not fly in the end because of incumbency to be vaccinated. So she went to a language school to study English for a year. Now I have not English at university, so my English got worse, but I am trying to improve it again and traveling to another country is the right opportunity. I must say that I do not like German, but I would love to learn any other language- I really like Italian, Spanish and French. These languages sound good to me. Adel is interested in Germany, so she decided to study German at university. She is also interested in Norwegian, so she started to learn this language by herself. One day she would work as German translator. She would love to learn another language, she like Italian and Spanish too. At our university we have opportunity to choose some language as something extra. So we decided to learn Russian next semester and we thought about Spanish too. but it was too late to join.

More details about your skills
We both are studying university, but we always wanted to go abroad and experience something new. So we decided to travel and help other people during this summer holidays. Education is very important in this time, but in our opinion step out of your comfort zone- going to a foreign country hardens a person the most and give us many experiences and opportunity to meet new people from all over the world. What we like about volunteering is that you help people in projects that give you meaning, you get to know the local culture from the inside and you learn new things. This is a dream for us to experience something like this.
We love travelling and discovering a new places. We are both very adventurous people, when one of us comes up with something, we go right into it. Very similar it was with workaway. We like every kind of sports, specially table tennis- Adel is a professional player. Naty is interested in healthy food and making everything homemade.
Adel lives in town, where we are studying, but a few years ago they lived in village and Naty lives in a small village. So we are very close to nature and we prefer villages or smaller towns. Thanks to living in the village we grow a lot of fruit and vegetables and there is more work around the house and in the garden.
We are interested in a sustainable way of life and we really like life on a farm, where people grow and produce everything for themselves and don't need big department stores and a lot of the unnecessary things of today.
To be honest, we have not any experiences with volunteering, but we would like to start with it, gain valuable experience and learn something new.
Adel's part-time job is currently work in the bakery and Naty's part-time-job is waitress in wine cellar, but we are open to learning new skills.

What else ...
We both love sports. It does not mater which kind of sport, every sport is good and we would like to play it. Natalie played football one year in boys team and Adel goes to table tennis competitions. We go to play table tennis after school. Sometimes we go running and work out. We love countryside, exploring a new places and sitting and singing by the fire.
Natálie: I love cooking for myself and other people. A few year ago I started to interested in healthy lifestyle and I started to try eat healthier, so other member of family to follow me. I always try to a new recipes. We try to bake everything at home with my mum. We bake homemade bread, toast bread, rolls, pie and so on. We buy ingredients in bio quality, We grow fruits and vegetable in our garden and we try to do everything for our health. Our famile has been going to waterhole (well) for water for years. We only drink this water and also cook with it. We made homemade succus, jams, ketchup and also we can the vegetables with my mum and grandma. My grandma has chickens thank to which we have a homemade eggs too. Two years ago I bought Scoby (symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast) and I started to make kombucha at home. I also started ferment a cereals, legume and nuts, because gut health is very important. I am really interested in in this way. I would love to learn to make homemade cheeses, yoghurts and other specialities of that country. My intention is to be in harmony with nature as much as possible.
We love animal. Adel and her family had dog and now they have tortoises and hamsters. Natalie and her family have cats. But we like another animals. We would try to work on farm and learn to work with them- milk a goat and so on.
