Description
We are a family that loves being together, discovering the world and ourselves. We enjoy spending time outside, cooking and eating healthy food, meeting inspiring people and living a life that is respectful to the Earth.

As worldschoolers we believe that through travelling we can widen our horizons and get a better understanding of the world. Workaway means to us getting to know a particular place and local people and their way of living. We enjoy staying for a longer time at one place to discover it thoroughly - we are "slow travellers".

Since August 2021, we have taken part in more than 10 volunteering projects (in the Canary and Azores Islands, in Portugal, in Spain and in France). We are also experienced house-sitters - we have spent several months house- and pet-sitting in the Canary and Azores Islands, in Switzerland, Scotland, France, Netherlands, Portugal and Spain.

We are reliable, responsible and well-communicating people.

We both work online and we homeschool our children (Eliska born 2016, Jonas born 2019). We are non-smokers. Martin is a good driver.

We absolutely loved having Martin, Tereza, Eliska and Jonas stay with us. They fit into life at our quinta seamlessly, efficiently taking care of the various tasks we asked them for help with (watering trees, strimming, cutting wood, feeding the donkeys and rotating the electric fencing, feeding cats and dogs if we were away) and often volunteered… read more

Oh, where to start. This has been a great Workaway experience. Daniel, Leah and their two girls are a lovely, easy-going and very inspiring family and we are so glad we could spend a month with them (we would have stayed longer but we needed to go back home for a while). They really made us feel welcome.

The place where they live is a paradise.… read more

Tereza and Martin and their two kids stayed with us for 1,5 months. We were very thankful for the spirit and the work Tereza and Martin brought at our old stone house! Martin redid walls with lime plaster in our rooms and worked very precisely and consciously. They also showed a lot of initiative which we really appreciated!
