  • Descrição

    Hi, my name is Ondra!

    I am a student from Czechia (Tábor) who decided that university is not enough for me this year (26/27) and that I want to explore foreign countries and get out of the comfort family provides me with. So here I am – writing my thesis while travelling.

    ## Travelling ##

    During whole October 2026, I Workawayed at a family farm near Dortmund, where I helped both outside (collecting organic fruit, fixing a gutter, stacking wood) and inside (programming a website). Volunteering for the first year, I would like to discover new places and create interesting memories. I made really good friends during my first stay, working and cooking together, taking walks around the place.

    I am not a greenhorn in travelling… Well, I can't say I am an old hand either. During high school, I enjoyed wandering through the Czech countryside with friends, talking all day long and sleeping underneath the stars. This summer (2026) I was in the Tatra mountains (Slovakia) with my relatives, our 4th time! With my family, I travelled to France a lot, and a few times to northern Europe – the Netherlands, Denmark. In 2017, I participated in a week-long student exchange with a German school in Bavaria/Bayern. I have also been to Vienna/Wien three times – I find this city gorgeous, from a tourist perspective, but it is too large for me to imagine living there.

    ## Skills ##

    My native language is Czech; I speak English with no problem and learned German for 6 years at school – though I have not used it for a long time, apart from translating lyrics to understand them.

    I come from a small village (50 people), so I am used to work outside at our family farm.

    My free time hobby – computers – officially became my main field of interest when I decided to study IT in Brno – but I would not be able to stay in this domain if I could not spend time studying other things as well, more on that later. This means I can do quite a lot with computers, even service them a bit. I have made a few websites and games, some of them hand-drawn, some made in a team.

    What started as a geek spare time activity shifted over time more towards communication and participating in community life as well. With a small interest group based in Brno (we see each other once a month), I have hosted a Bitcoin-themed pub quiz.

    I am considering improving my teaching skills in the coming years; getting the necessary certification would hopefully allow me to try high school teaching at some point (probably Math or CS), as I find communication with kids entertaining and I am happy to share my passions with fresh and exploratory minds. I took a few courses in this regard provided by my college. Also, I now volunteer as a remote mentor for gifted children.

    ## Interests ##

    Apart from the world of tech, I could not live without reading books on philosophy, psychology and spirituality. I like to wonder, reflect and abstract, sometimes probably too much. When I was younger, I read a lot of fantasy.

    While I'm in town, I love to visit teahouses (we have had a fairly strong tea culture in Czechia since the 1990s, although it is a very minor hobby). Through this spare time activity, I became interested in Japanese culture and manga. It was a short step from there to Buddhism and, curiously, the cyberpunk aesthetic too. Anyway, tea rooms are the perfect environment for calm and thoughtful discussions with my friends.

    We recommend each other books and films a lot with friends of mine; I like Wes Anderson's and Jim Jarmusch's films, Monty Python too. Last year, I even rebuilt my room into a small cinema with my dad; it can serve others while I am elsewhere – now most of the time – and it is fun to watch films there together, or listen to some music – for me it is mostly psychedelic rock (Younger Brother, Pink Floyd, Tool) and Moby, sometimes Nick Cave.
