Description

Hi there!
My name is Jan and I come from Bratislava, Slovakia.
I work as a software analyst, which allows me to work remote now and then — for a week or even up to a month.

Because my work usually means spending quite a lot of hours behind a computer, I’d love to use my free time for something more active. I enjoy being outside, moving around, helping with hands-on tasks and just doing something different than sitting at a desk.

I’m easy-going, open to learning new things, and I like meeting people from different places. Looking forward to being part of your project and sharing some nice moments together!

I stayed with Olga and Ole for a little over two weeks in April, and I had a really nice experience.

They are a lovely and friendly older couple. Olga always prepared delicious dinners and made sure I felt comfortable and welcome. Ole was patient when explaining the work, liked to joke around, and created a relaxed atmosphere. He also made sure I … read more

Jan was one of the best workawayers we ever had!
He is physically strong and a hard working person, but also quiet and calm, easy going and friendly, he has a overview of things, it was a pleasure to be around him.
He stayed with us only about 2 weeks, but it was a pleasure and a great help.

We had an amazing time at Thetis Island with Lynda and Michel. They were super friendly and made us feel at home. Thetis Island is incredible, full of great people and places to explore.

They left their cabin cleaner than when they checked in.
We had them do some pretty heavy jobs organizing building materials and cleaning … read more

It's difficult to write something new, most of the things have already been mentioned in previous feedback. We completely agree with all the positive feedback.
After almost two months, we'd like to appreciate:
- the variety of tasks we could try out. Steve tried to come up with projects that suited us and that we enjoyed (framing, drywalling, … read more
