Descrição
My husband and I live in eastern Oregon in the United States. My husband was originally from Czechoslovakia and emigrated to the US with his family in his early 20s. He has dual Czech and US citizenship, while I have only US citizenship.
We are semi retired from our own business (repairing and installing pumps and motors) and enjoy spending as much time as possible visiting other countries. In our travels, we have discovered we are happiest when we spend a longer time in one place and really connect with local people. We tend to avoid larger cities (both at home and when traveling) and are happiest doing physical activities outside - hiking, camping, cross-country skiing. We own over 300 acres at home, so we are not strangers to performing physical work and performing property maintenance. We have experience with livestock and have no problem getting dirty. My husband is capable of fixing almost anything (he has a very problem-solving brain and nature), and I love the satisfaction of finishing a task or getting things organized. We are pretty simple people. We eat all different kinds of foods, don't have TV at home, are non-smokers, and don't require much for entertainment - a nice view and a place to sit and enjoy it. We both enjoy trying local beer and wines wherever we are. Although we aren't in 20s, we enjoy good physical health and feel like we have a lot to offer to potential hosts and would not be a burden wherever we are hosted.

Quais são suas habilidades?
Mike: In addition to being an all-around laborer, Mike is an expert in repairing pumps & motors and fixing things in general. He has extensive electrical experience. He has basic carpentry and construction skills and has done a lot of work with concrete. He can do a lot with not much and would much rather fix something than replace it, whenever possible. Mike is very meticulous and does high-quality work. He is a problem solver by nature.
Andrea: Is very task oriented. Andrea grew up on a small farm, so she has experience with most large and small animals and their care, and she feels comfortable around them. She can clean, cook, garden, rake, haul firewood, shovel poop, you name it. She is a better multi-tasker and organizer than Mike. If you want one thing done really well, ask Mike to do it. If you have several things that you want completed and done adequately, ask Andrea. We complement each other in our strengths and weaknesses.
