  • Descrição

    Hi there! My name is Tomas and I am from Slovakia.

    I am an outdoors enthusiast. I enjoy hiking, camping, and kayaking, and I'm interested in all the outdoor activities I haven't yet had an opportunity to try. More importantly, I love simply being in nature. When I am free, you will most likely find me in a forest or by a river.

    I am in love with the American West. I've devoured so many books (fiction and non-fiction), films, and documentaries about the West, but I only got a little actual taste of it when I took a two-week trip to California in Summer 2022. I visited Los Angeles and the Yosemite National Park. Ever since I've been meaning to visit the Western US again.

    I would love to help out at your farm, and, in doing so, gain knowledge and skills in gardening, permaculture, animal care, carpentry, as well as in off-grid and sustainable living. I am interested in ecology and passionate about sustainable farming practices. Ultimately, my biggest dream is to have my own place where I can grow my own food.

    Two of my personals heroes are John Muir and Dick Proenneke.

  • Quais são suas habilidades?

    Having lived in a city in an apartment building since I was 10, I haven't had much opportunity for gardening and farm work, but I've always liked to lend a hand when it came to manual labor, whether some shoveling was needed, or it was helping mowing the lawn or watering vegetables at my friend's grandparents' place. I also helped plant and regularly trim bushes as well as do general maintenance work in a small flower garden in front of our apartment building. I also grow microgreens and herbs on our balcony. Considering my limited opportunities, I see myself as handy with tools, be it a hammer, drill, or saw.

    Cooking and baking: It started as an attempt to recreate at home my favorite dishes from various cuisines, and it has grown into a hobby. Some of my all-time favorite comfort foods are pizza (that's a rare one :D), tomato soup, spaghetti with meatballs, butter chicken, thai curry, egg salad, banana bread, muffins, and brownies, Also, being a camping enthusiast, it is my favorite ritual to start a fire and cook on it.

    Driving: Always the designated driver. I am comfortable behind the wheel in all weather conditions. I dreamed of being a truck driver in the US when I was a teen.

    Horse riding and animal care: Since October 2023 (with a three-month break), I've been helping out a little and taking horse riding lessons at a small horse ranch in a neighboring village.

    Overall, I am flexible, reliable, and a fast learner with good attention to detail.

  • Algo mais...

    I have a degree in English and Music Education. I play the piano, although my skills are a little rusty at this point. I haven't played for a couple years, since I don't own a piano right now. These days, I'm learning to play drums and sometimes I dabble into electronic music production.

    My interest in ecology and environmental justice, as well as the American West, coupled with my field of study, led me to write my master's thesis on the intersection of these seemingly disparate areas. I analyzed Kem Nunn's environmentally-conscious surfer noir novels set in Southern California from the perspective of ecocriticism, a field within literary criticism that explores the relationship between humans and nature.

    I have a certificate in caregiving. I spent some time working at a nursing home, and it was a very rewarding experience.

    I love getting to know people from other cultures. During my freshman year at college I worked as a volunteer for Erasmus Student Network where I provided support and guidance to exchange students and helped organize trips and theme dinners.
