  ABOUT US
  Hi, I'm Valerio, 31 years old and I'm an Italian guy that live in France with my girlfriend Jennifer!
  After 4 years of travelling with workaway, I'm very happy to be the host and continue to share and meet people around the world ^^
  We live in a little town called Les Herbiers, and for the moment we can host you just for one week.
  We are also on couchsurfing, so sharing is the central point for me in workaway.
  Came here and we will have a good time together!
  
  THE HOUSE
  Welcome at home!
  We live in a nice house where we have a mezzanine for max 2 guests.
  So i know that it's not 100% privacy, but i'm sure that we can manage, because the house is quite big.
  Otherwise, we can have nice time and we would be really happy to have same help, because we just moved here since the end of January.
  We live 10 minutes to walk from the countryside.
  Valerio is vegeterian but I'm open for all kinds of diets, and also it s not a problem if you eat meat and fish.

  There is everything you need here, so you will enjoy it!
  We will show you my town and bring you in all the nice place I know ^^
  You can take my bike also If you want to explore the surroundings.
  
  THE HELP
  We just moved in a new home so we need same little help to organize better everything, make a very little vegetable garden, teach same french at Jennifer and same help for our daily life, like cleaning house, and if you like it we will be very happy to taste your national specialities!
  But the central point for us is to share my daily life with you, be both happy and have nice time toghether!
