I'm Valentin 28, living in the mountain area (Wallis) in the south of Switzerland. My home is a cute house with garden in a traditional wine village in the main valley. I do love travelling, being in nature, good food and much more.. I'm an open and welcoming character, enjoy connecting and exchanging with people.

I do offer: A comfortable room at the upper floor with 1-3 beds, Wifi and a balcony with a beautiful view.
In exchange you help me in and around the house. For skilled workawayers I have tasks on the computer too.
I'm running a time consuming business and would be happy to have your support at home.
Looking for: Motivated and open person/s, male and/or female (also couples or friends).

Important:
Knowledge and experience in cooking, foods and cleaning (main task).
Smoking is okay; I do, but outside the house. No kids and no pets.
