  • Description

    We are a married couple, 40 and 49 years old. For the past 11 years, we have been living a fairly prosperous life, and we haven't experienced any financial struggles at work. Recently, we realized that we are missing a simple, ordinary life and physical labor. We've come to the conclusion that, despite our financial well-being, it would be beneficial for our relationship and our future happiness to engage in physical work as well. We have always had animals in our family, so we have a special fondness for them. We decided to drastically change our lives, reconnect with nature, live more simply, and engage in physical labor. Strangely enough, though it may not seem so at first, we feel that this is something we truly need.

    We have no bad habits, we don't smoke or drink. We approach everything with great diligence and responsibility. For us, the most important thing is not money, but how the hosts treat us.

    We have been living in Europe for 10 years, with legal status. Vladimir is from Ukraine, and Olga is from Russia.

    In the past, we were professional athletes. Vladimir owned a successful construction company for over 10 years.

  • What else ...

    In our free time, we engage in sports; in the past, we were professional competitive bodybuilders. Recently, we have worked as personal trainers and nutrition consultants, so discipline and responsibility are qualities we have developed. We also love skiing in the winter.

    We both hold European certification as massage therapists and manual therapists, with four years of experience in this field.

    We are tolerant and open-minded individuals, and we approach each person with understanding, regardless of who they are or what they do.

    Our main expectations are a good atmosphere, mutual understanding with the hosts, and respect.
