Description
Hi, I'm Amy. I first lived outside my home country, Czech Republic, when I was 16 and did a high school year abroad in New Jersey. That experience really expanded my horizons, and while I love the Czech Republic, I decided that I want to see more of the world and meet more people from other cultures. Since then I have lived and studied in the UK, the Netherlands and Italy. I also travelled for over a year around East Africa and SE Asia. I have been a workawayer in 7 countries - mostly at various farmstay projects. I love spending time in nature and I am not afraid to get my hands dirty.

As I studied lingustics I am always excited about other languages and how they work, and I also love to share my native language, Czech.
I studied linguistics and I am always excited to learn more about the languages of the area that I am visiting. I am also very passionate about food - cooking, baking, fermenting... and of course also eating.

I have an MA degree in Linguistics. I love languages and I am excited to learn any languages I encounter while travelling.
I am also an experienced baker and a cook. I worked in a sourdough bakery in the Czech republic and as a cook in the Netherlands.
I grew up gardening with my mom in our house garden, but I learned much more about various farming practices during my workaways - e.g. at a plant nursery in South Africa, a rice farm in Malaysia.
I don't have much experience with construction but I have helped out on a few projects working with bamboo, concrete etc. and I am always happy to learn more.

Laissé par le workawayer () pour l'hôte (Help us at an Organic rice ...)

Where to even start, I have done multiple workaways before coming here and at first I was put off by the fact that they require a payment - but this stay was worth every ringgit. I ended up staying on the farm for three months and I am still in touch with people from there more than a year later (I am leaving this review very late because my… read more

Amy! We don’t know where to start and we know we can’t thank enough to what she’s done even we write here. 😊
She is really flexible, open-minded, obviously hard working, so reliable, such a good baker and cooker, and just great! We really appreciate her big help not only in the fields but also in the kitchen(not only cook but also keep clean and… read more tidy always!), and in taking care of the ducks, chicken and cats.
It was such a great honor for us to live and work together with her for about 3months. Her original plan was one month to stay with us, but it ended up with three great enjoyable months! So she experienced almost all the stages of growing organic rice : germination, land preparation, planting, weeding, scaring the birds, harvesting, threshing, milling, and packaging. Yes, it is literally all the stages.
As she was becoming a long-term volunteer as time passed, she learnt how to manage the water level and took initiative to work in the early morning before the workers come, and taught the other new volunteers about the work, about the farm and life on the farm.
She is of course social and friendly, she is always good at talking and hanging out with other volunteers with harmony.
As she is really curious about our culture, foods and religion, and really wanted to immerse herslef in it, she even did one month fasting too as she was here in Ramadan month. We calebrated Hari Raya(the celebration of the completion of fasting) together and visited our relatives and villagers’ house.
Needless to say, she is really fast learner and good at picking the words, she learnt our language so quickly! That made her so much faster and easier to connect with the locals when we went to visit the relatives, and when she went to explore the village by herslef.
Also, she often helped in the kitchen and learnt some malay foods that she keeps cooking even back in her place.
As you can see, we need more space if we explain how much she helped us, but we hope you can see how great she is and you can rely on her.
So, now we just hope you as the workaway hosts to welcome her to your amazing projects and enrich her travel while having such a great and meaningful time together. :D
Thank you again for your help, for your great being, and for your expanded care to all the living beings on the farm. 😊We wish all the best to your current/future journey and to your beautiful life! Terima kasih and Jumpa lagi! Ajoi!

I stayed at Ivan's place for one month and it was a wonderful experience. The whole team is really welcoming and eager to share their culture with you. If you make a little bit of effort you can easily communicate even with the locals who don't speak English that well. And if you don't, Ivan speaks great English and loves to have long discussions,… read more

Amalie (Amy) is an early riser, a very considerate member and easily engages in conversation.

She is naturally curious and is willing to get involved with whatever tasks that needs doing. She cooks, cleans and is a magnate to cats and dogs.

She helped us pick, peel and make and bottle Mangosteen jam and several cakes. Went fruit picking,… read more

I will always fondly remember my stay with Namwaka. I did not feel like a workawayer but more like a member of the family. If you are looking to experience life in rural Africa, this is it. I had expected to be helping a lot more with gardening and caring for trees but there was not that much to do in terms of that as the project is in desperate… read more

There are already enough excellent reviews on Pieter and Anja's profile (which only shows how experienced hosts they are), so I will keep my feedback short. They have very clear rules, they abide by them and expect the workawayers to also do so, which wasn't a problem for me.
I enjoyed my stay at the nursery immensely. It was a big change from my… read more
