Descripción
We love to meet people and learn about them - their culture, way of life and thoughts. Brian works as an aide in elementary school with children who need learning support. He also tutors unaccompanied refugee minors to the U.S. who have made their way from Afghanistan,Myanmar and other troubled areas. Andrea works as a library coordinator for the Free Library of Philadelphia where she helps promote library programs. We met in graduate school for Library and Information Sciences so reading and learning is a big part of our lives. Brian loves gardening and work projects and Andrea loves horses and is on the board of our neighborhood non-profit stable. Art-making is important for us both of us, Brian dabbling in ceramics and sculpture and helping out in a program for blind artists; Andrea embroiders, works with beads, draws (she did her undergrad degree in illustration.) Our family often hosts foreign students. And we love to take walks and hikes in nature, exploring new places and revisiting familiar ones. Brian is the adventurous family cook, Andrea the laundress. We have three grown children and this past year our fourth beloved grandchild arrived! We have family in Ecuador and visit whenever we can!

Misha, Pavel, Meda, Ada and Sníhzhik (the best dog)are a beautiful family and we regret we were only able to stay with them a handful of days. They have put so much work into modernizing their very old mud brick house and it is super comfortable. Completing the stone walkway was fun with Ada and Meda fluttering about.

We are so happy that Brian and Andrea chose us for their workaway in Czech Republic. It was an absolute delight to have them. The only negative thing is that they could stay only few days, we wished they could stay with us much longer :)

I have never seen someone so enthusiastic about everything as Brian. He did so much work here (always with a… read more

Hosting Brian and Andrea was a great decision. They are super nice, very friendly and hard-working. I couldn't believe what I saw when I got to the greenhouse. They tidied it up, and I could plant my vegetables. And the garden become nice, clean and tidy. I wish they could stay longer because we always had a nice chat, and Maya started picking up… read more

We had a lovely time in May with Hana and Maya. It was rewarding cleaning up the greenhouse, garage and garden and then seeing things get ready for late spring planting. The countryside where they are located is open, beautiful and calming. We spent some time exploring the historic town a short walk away. But most of all we enjoyed spending time… read more

We had the pleasure of Brian and Andrea for 10 days. They are incredibly pleasant and helpful people. They did a great job here. Our girls really liked them. We wish they could have been here longer. We send the best recommendations from here. Hope to see them again.

We spent just 10 days with Mikkel. Anna, Sif and Gry and it was a magical 10 days. We had a great combination of work (barn painting and some household chores), cultural interaction, rest, family ventures to the beach and a nearby town, and some delicious shared dinners. The serenity and beauty of our living space and the countryside enchanted us.… read more
