Description
Ahoj, jsme manželé Zdeněk a Šárka. Pocházíme z České republiky. Je nám 55 let. Celý život jsme pracovali, vychovali dvě děti a teď je čas na změnu. Rozhodli jsme se zjistit, jak žijí lidé v zahraničí. Mezitím nám Workaway přivezla naši dceru s její kamarádkou, když nás během svého prvního pobytu seznámila se svou švédskou hostitelkou. Podívali jsme se jeden druhému do očí. Dohodli jsme se, že se během jejich šestiměsíční nepřítomnosti budeme starat o jejich farmu. Švédsko bylo po mnoho let jednou z prvních destinací, o které jsme měli velký zájem. Toto byla naše první zkušenost s hlídáním domu. Starali jsme se o rodinný dům a malou farmu s rozlehlými pozemky. Našimi zvířecími přáteli se stali čtyři koně, husy, kachny, krůty, slepice, holubi a pár pávů, včetně kočky. Život s tolika různými zvířaty byl velmi zábavný, naplňující a psychicky obohacující. Vždycky jsme doma měli jen zahradu, kočku a psa. Kromě objevování krásných míst v okolí jsme se spřátelili s lidmi žijícími v okolí farmy a poznali několik zajímavých osudů. Několikaměsíční pobyt na jednom místě nám ukázal, že je to opravdu nejlepší způsob, jak poznat život místních, specifickou krajinu a spojit se s energií místa. Takový pobyt člověku umožní změnit svůj pohled na život, utvořit si přesvědčení a zvyky, člověk přirozeně poznává sám sebe. Důvěra původně cizích lidí, s níž vám svěřují místo, kde žijí, je také velmi obohacující a posilující. Oba milujeme přírodu, pobyt na čerstvém vzduchu a různé outdoorové aktivity. Rádi se ale také věnujeme údržbě domu, umíme uklízet a vařit. Rádi tvoříme nové věci.
