We are willing to host volunteers from all over the world not only in the beautiful Slovak countryside. We do care about international understanding, education, environment protection and of international and intergenerational exchange including those with special needs.
Joy’n’Work was created by volunteers for people who are eager to travel and contribute to the community, rural life, and environment they visit. Based on personal experience and enthusiasm, we present you with a careful selection of excellent yet affordable volunteer and ecological or art minded vacations.
Lucie Meisnerová, co-founder - Based on my intensive experience with voluntary work in Iceland, me and my friends decided to start the concept of volunteer tourism for grown-ups. I published a couple of audio books to learn foreign languages. I have a M.A. degree in marketing communication and now I work for Joy’n’Work. I live in Zlín, have a daughter Alica, a great dog named Lump, and I like strong espresso in the afternoon.
Zuzana Kaprinay, manager - an enthusiastic art lover, always searching for new names and art forms, adoring art works in the museums, galleries, streets. As a child she stared in a TV movie and now days she redirected her acting passion to singing – one of its outcomes is CD where she sings with the choir. She studied social work and worked for many years in different NGO-s, her last job before leaving Slovakia was in her own NGO that was improving the conditions in the maternity wards in the hospitals. Since moving to Budapest, her biggest focus became art and wine. Great combination, right? ☺ Now she would like to bring new form of travelling among people, who want to get more from their journey, for people, who want to mingle with the locals and be active part of their life – even for a short time.
