Activities we are interested in:

Ready to take a well deserved few month´s break after our bussy business season! Travel a bit, do something meaningful and clear out our minds.

Description

Together for 20 years, best friends and working collegues, proud mum and dad to three great boys, nature lovers, who cherish their freedom and are living their dreams .... that´s all us! 😊

Being enterpreneurs enables us to take few months off each year and travel, which we enjoy so much! And being able to help a bit, meet interesting people and get to know diferent cultures, that´s the "icing on the cake".

We are happy to help with any meaningful work inside or out and are not afraid to get our hands dirty.

Our elder sons ( the twins) are very good and valuable team members already too, so make sure you have enough tasks ready for 4 pairs of hands. 😊

And as for the food, we are not picky and don´t expect a 3 course meal twice a day. Moreover, we are happy to cover our kids' food expenses ourselves 😊

A LITTLE MORE ABOUT US:

-- at home, in Czech republic, we run a nice family business - we create and organise educational and leisure time activities like sporting events, workshops, hikes and treasure hunts for both school groups and tourists.

-- since our twentees, we have been round various HOSPITALITY ☕🍻🥘 related businesses and have run our own bed and breakfast 🏘 for the past 9 years.
We are always keen to see some new ways and share ideas 👍

--- the boys are 15,15 and 9, love sports - especialy skiing (both crosscountry and downhill), swimming and cycling and the twins are BIG fans of thick fantasy and historical books

--- all of us are keen gardeners 👨‍🌾 (and are doing our best in growing and preserving our own vegetables and fruits 🍒🍎🍐🍓🫐🥒🥕🥔🧅🧄🌽) - we can help with yours too! 😊

--- since 2016, we homeschool 🧑‍🏫our kids and it works very well just with 1-2 hours in the afternoon

--- we all like hiking, love to play board games and enjoy a book by the fireplace

--- we love traveling, meeting new people and exploring different cultures - so far, we have been round Europe, worked in Bermuda, spent few months in Asia and northern Africa and couple of months in New Zealand 😊 and there is still so much to see!

--- we have been on a few workaways already - working on a permaculture farm in Thailand, harvesting and preserving tons of veggies and fruits in Switzerland, gardening, tree trimming, painting and dogwalking in Portugal, helping with house renovations in french Provence, clearing a beautiful land in Italy, destilling " Schnaps" from turnips in Austria and working on a farm in Norway ... and we liked it all very much.

So excited where we end up this time....! 😊

PS: we have a little, friendly, clean dog Ohlson, who would be traveling with us

More details about your skills

At home, we have a big garden and an old house, which we just recently renovated (and gained some very practical skills 😉). So if there is any maintenance that needs to be done, like painting, cleaning, lawn moving, wood cutting, tree prunning, weeding... you name it... that's what we can do!

We are pretty good organisers and have some knowledge of marketing and project management, if that could be of any use to someone 😉

The same if it comes to hotel/restaurant business - we can help with customer service but also in the kitchen or with housekeeping (we have been doing all of it for years 🙂).

We enjoy very much also the outside work. We can help you with the garden, with fruit picking 🍒🍇🍏 or any other harvest but also with preserving, doing own jams and marmelades and with pickles🥫.

We love working along other people as part of a team but are fine to work on our own too (if it´s not ONLY on our own, as we like to meet people on our travels and to share experience).

And the boys👦👦👱‍♂️ are more than happy to join in any activity and help too, the same as they are used to do when we are at home.

It would be great if the boys could practise their English, German and Spanish!
