Hi!
My name is Ondřej, and I am a 26 y.o. guy from the Czech Republic.
I love travelling and my current goal is to go from Mexico all the way to Colombia - I am currently in Nicaragua.
I am open to pretty much any kind of work, as long as it doesn't involve long hours behind a computer screen - I prefer to work outside, help with gardening, animals, building stuff.. I get along with everybody, enjoy manual labour and I love learning new skills, so I will gladly try something I have never done before.
My favourite thing about travel is experiencing new cultures and meeting people from all over the world - I prefer smaller cities/villages and nature, since I live in the capital of my country right now.
Looking forward to meeting you!Interests

The past couple of years I have been working in the food industry - I have spent some time behind a bar, waited tables in both larger restaurants and smaller bistros, I also love cooking (especially vegan food). I love learning about new cuisines and food cultures!
Before my food industry journey, I used to work for the finance department of an IT company, drafting contracts and invoices - but honestly I would prefer work that doesn't involve a computer screen, since I like manual labour better.
I also have a license for scuba diving and love the ocean in general - I like to freedive and would like to learn how to surf!
I have had a driver's license for the past 7 years, so I'm comfortable behind the wheel of a car (as long as it's not a massive truck, but after a bit of practice, that shouldn't be a problem either).
I like all kinds of animals and work that comes with it - even though I am not too experienced in that area, I don't mind getting my hands dirty and would like to learn more.
My native language is Czech, I can also speak Slovakian, English (certified C2 level) and some Spanish (I can understand more or less everything, but can't answer fluently due to lack of conversation practice - I am sure a couple months in a spanish speaking country will fix this though).Age
26
What else ...
I love spending my time in nature, doesn't matter if it's a hike in the mountains, camping in a quiet forest or diving in the ocean.
I also enjoy reading books and playing board games (card-based are my favourite)

Special dietary requirements
I prefer to follow a vegan diet, however it is not necessary if the animal products are locally sourced.
