ABOUT ME

We are young (27 and 33) married couple from Slovakia. After finishing the internship (environmental education) in Ohio in the beginning of June 2013 we started our big bicycle journey across the USA, Mexico and now we're heading south to South America. We love nature and travelling and meeting nice and inspiring people. We studied environmental studies. We plan to build our own self-sustainable natural home and community, after coming back home. So we appreciate any suggestions what to visit, we are interested in whatever connected with ecology and natural living. We don´t have any special needs, we eat everything (and like to try new things :-)), no allergies, non-smokers, flexible, creative and willing to help with whatever is needed.

PHILOSOPHY

"Life is like a bicycle: in order to keep your balance you must keep moving."
"Wherever you go, no matter what weather, always bring your own sunshine"
"Trees, Rivers and Rocks have always been talking to us, we just forgot how to listen"

Teach, Learn, Share

During our volunteering in Baja California Sur we got lot of experience with building cob-houses (adobe), we've also built an oven and a bench from earth. We'd love to share our experience and build more from this perfect natural material which has so many benefits.

We do presentation about our trip in English or Spanish.
We also make hand - made jewelry from local natural materials and try to support our journey by selling them.
