Description

Hello, hi,

I live with my family in a mud-straw house at the Czech countryside near the location called Czech paradise. Currently we decided thanks to the synchronicity and some significant signs which I received from the live to travel to the Pacific ocean, which we were forced to change to the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean sea. At home we are practicing permaculture and trying to live with the harmony with the nature. We are vegans, all of the family so we are looking to meet a family open to this setting of us. Vegetarians are fine if they can accept us as a vegans, although we can of course tolerate any diet you are used to. We will be rather meeting some more opened mind. We are very versatile, talking about skills we offer. I am used to work with the wood, in the garden, repair stuff such as cars, truck, etc since I am a car mechanic. We build our home on our own, so nothing is problem and we are always ready to learn. Since I am studying a transcultural communication here in Czechia, I will be taking this trip as a study journey. We are looking forward to encounter a new culture and nice people. We hope this will be a huge benefit for our children too. We got 2 kids, a boy(late 7) and girl(nearly 5) and hope for them to catch some of the new languages, namely English, Portuguese and Spanish, but whatever is good, since this will be the first time abroad for them. We hope you got some picture about us and we are looking forward to see you live and spend a quality all-sided beneficial time for everyone.

More details about your skills

We are both very vestatile, at home we are practicing permaculture gardening, trying to grow a food on our own, using compost - again on our own, so we can be usefull on the farm, allways ready to teach someting, or share our knowlidge. Alice also used to work at a stable, so she has got some experience with a horses and big animals in general. She knows how to sew and so she makes our clothes. I am a formal automechanic so I can make some small repairs, or if you got a well equipped garage some I can make even a more complicated repairs or restoration since I love an oldtimers and youngtimers :-). I can operate the chainsaw, drive a bike, car, truck or tractor. Last few years I was working as guard at prison, so I can share some stories :-). We build our house on our own so some minor carpentry or other around a house works are possible. Kids are great at playing, cycling and shouting :-), they curious and trying to get as much information about the world around as they can :-).

What else ...

Well, what to say? We do love nature, we are trying to live as much in touch with it as possible. We kind of run out of civilization to live on our own, surrounded by nature, have a view on the forrest, hear the sounds of it, see the stars at the night. We used to play a board games, loved Carccassone, Port royale, or even epic games like Game of thrones or Mage knight by Vlada Chvatil who is our czech board games maker :-). We like animals, but since we are vegans we do not visit a zoo gardens, but some sanctuaries or refuge for animals where they can freely live theire lives are fine. We don't play any instrumets but love live music, so some concerts or local festivals are events we would like to know. I do study a university here in Czechia, so it would be much wanted by me personaly, and interested by all family to meet and learn about a cultural differences. We also like a good leisure time, when you are just about to be, listening to the birds or sound of silence, sip a wine or a beer (Alice is strictly abstinent, but I ocassionaly do taste some new product of a small brewery) since Czechia is a land of breweries, watching clouds :-) and enjoy the sunshine on your face.
