Description
Hi there!
A friendly couple from Slovakia which would be more than happy to help you with anything you need in exchange for new experiences and new friendships :)
We are university students and we think that it is important to learn new skills and get to know new cultures.
We have been interrailing for one month which made us fall in love with such matter!
We enjoy working outside, possibly with animals. Childcare and help with languages are great too. But in the end of the day, it still doesn't matter what exactly we will be helping with.
We are open-minded and respectful in all aspects :)

Oliver
I am a type of person that faces any challenges with a smile on their face. I always love to see people around me happy, therefore I always try to bring a good mood into the group. People who know me well, especially my girlfriend Ivka, say that outgoingness and friendliness are my strong qualities.
This year I have finished my first studies in humanities and in September i am starting my second studies - theatre direction and dramaturgy. I think that this shift symbolises the dynamic and adaptive personality that i am able to make the best of it in real life. I read a lot and I am up to a good conversation!
I am very fond of animals of any kind as I grew up in a house with a lot of animals :)
work experiences: During my high-school studies, I used to have a part time job as a waiter in a restaurant for almost 4 years. Throughout working there, I gained perfect serving and organising skills, and also an ability to stay calm in stressful situations. Throughout workaway I helped on a construction site and on a tree plantage too. Gardening and general maintenance clear my mind so I always look forward to do that. In conclusion, you can trust me with a hammer, as well as around plants, haha.

I've been always thriving for new skills and experiences as it gives me better perspective on life. Creativity plays a huge role each day. From drawing, decorating, singing, playing the piano, photography to scenography and costume design. My studies focus on the last two. I would love to become a theatre/movie scenographer and costume designer. Which is slowly coming to the reality with me working on different projects. I studied at an art university in photography but then decided to switch to scenography as i found myself in it. Each place and activity gives me inspiration and motivation. From my childhood I've been taking care of cats and later on I've built up love for horses. Horseback riding is really big passion of mine unfortunately I can't find enough time for that anymore. But I managed to get a license so I know my way around horses. From daily care to training. I'm interested in self development and I'm constantly trying to improve my way of life, thinking about my impact and mind. I come from village so house maintenance is no problem to me neither is childcare.
Time spent in the nature gives me great pleasure and clearance of my mind and soul. That's why I choose to spend there much time in warmer months.
I had different jobs focused on photo and video editing, photography and animation as well as scenography and support on movie sets so i can provide help in these fields as well.
