Hi, I am Ondrej,
a freelance photographer and occasional tour guide from the Czech Republic (originally from Slovakia). I recently moved to Canada and my focus right now is to travel more extensively through America, spending time close to nature and being involved with local communities. I love to be exposed to the otherness of people, their differences, and also the things which connect us all.
I love working with people a lot - through photography, guided tours, and writing. I enjoy also rural life and all kinds of work around the house/farm.
If you decide to host me, I will bring those qualities to your place: creativity, positive thinking, empathy, effort, great flexibility, and passion :)
