Description

Hi, we are husband and wife Zdenek and Sarka. We come from Czech Republic. We are bought 52 years old. All our life we worked, we raised two children and now is the time for change.
We decided to find out, how the people live in foreign countries. Our female dog GREYSI accompanies us on our travels.
Between Workaway´s brought us our daughter with her friend, when she introduced us with her Swedish host during her first stay. We catch each other eyes. We agreed we will take care about their farm during their six-month absence. Sweden was for more one of the first destinations we were very interested in. This was our the first experience with House sitting. We took care of family house and small farm with vast plots of land. Four horses, geese, ducks, turkeys, chickens, pigeons and a pair of peacocks, including a pet cat man have become our animal friends. Living with so many different animals was very fun, fulfilling and mentally rewarding. We always used to have only garden, cat and dog at home. In addition to discovering beautiful places in the vicinity, we made friends with people living around the farm and got to know several interesting destinies.
Staying in one place for several months showed us that it is really the best way to get to know the life of the locals, a specific landscape and connect with the energy of the place. Such a stay will allow a person to change his perspective of seeing life, make up his beliefs and habits, a person naturally gets to know himself. The trust of originally strangers, with which they entrust you with the place where they live, is also very enriching and strengthening.
We both love nature, being in the fresh air and various outdoor activities. However, we also like to work on house maintenance, we can clean and cook. We like to create new things.
