Description
Hi!
We are Elo and Dario, a couple in our early 30’s. He’s a sound designer and she’s a photographer, and two border collies animate our day-to-day!
We love hiking and adventures all around, board and video games, being creative together, meeting new people and exchanging ideas.
We live in a house, in a village called Treyvaux (bus stop to Fribourg 8 mins away). The lake de Gruyère is 5 minutes away, the mountain peak “La Berra” 10 minutes away, and there are plenty of beautiful nature spots all around - we’d be happy to tell you all about them. And when it gets too hot, we jump in our swimming pool!
Types of help and learning opportunities
Gardening
DIY and building projects
Animal Care
Help around the house
General Maintenance
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We hope you will love Switzerland and the beautiful nature it has to offer!
Help
When the weather is nice we’re working on building a new wooden flooring for our terrace outside, in the idea of making a veggie/flower garden!
Other help might include cleaning the house and/or taking the dogs for a walk if the feeling with them is good :)
PLEASE READ BEFORE MESSAGING US:
-We prefer hosting 2 people at a time (couple or friends)
-Last minute usually works better for us
-From experience our ideal length for stays is around 10 days, with 2 days off
-Occasionally we look for house/pet sitters whilst we go on holidays, if that fits your profile (aka. dog person + house cleaner) don't hesitate to reach out any time :)
At the moment we would prioritise someone skilled with: various DIY projects skills, wood working, gardening, and/or general maintenance/cleaning

Accommodation
We offer a comfortable private room with a double bed and a private bathroom. The kitchen is available to make your own breakfast (provided) and we usually share lunches and dinners together.
In case the room is already occupied, a custom van (modern, with stand-able height, very pinterest-like) with a big double bed and kitchenette is available as plan B. It's parked right in front of the house, with access to the same bathroom inside the house!
In the village (8 mins walk) you will find a supermarket, a bakery, a nice restaurant, post office and a butcher. There's also a bus stop there that will take you to Fribourg train station/center in about 25 minutes.
What else ...
The village is quiet and peaceful, sheeps, cats and cows are neighboring the house. We really love living in the center of Switzerland and being so close to big cities (Fribourg, Bulle, Bern and Lausanne, easily reachable with the great public transportation system).
Nearby cheese and chocolate factories/museums are a must-see, and leaving without having tried our typical dish “the fondue” would be almost a crime!

We had to urgently leave another workaway that was going badly and they so kindly offered to host us with another volunteer for a few days !
They made us feel at home and were very thoughtful !
We would gladly come back and stay even longer this time :)
During this time she mainly helped us with some gardening, maintenance and cleaning tasks, which she all did very thoroughly. She was focused, understood and followed guidelines, and did the work efficiently.
During our absence, she stayed in touch and… read more

From the first day it felt like hanging out with friends. Their positive energy is contagious, and spending time together was a lot of fun. On top of that, the help they provided was very valuable and their willingness to do good and put in the extra effort was super appreciated.… read more
The days we spent with Brian and me were fantastic. Elo and Dario are extraordinary people with a wonderful personality and a big heart. They are super friendly, easy to get along with, hardworking, and passionate. I could write many more positive aspects about them, but this message would be so long that no one would read it!
