Description
Hello! We’re Donatella (29) and Antoine (32), a couple living between Switzerland and France.
Traveling and discovering new cultures are a big part of our lives. We spend several months each year exploring the world, seven countries so far! We’ve lived in Australia and New Zealand, built our own van, and helped out through Workaway and Helpx.
About Donatella
I’m Swiss with Italian roots and a passionate hairdresser who never travels without my scissors and tools, just in case someone needs a spontaneous haircut! I’ve worked in New Zealand and Australia, and I also love photography, walking, reading, animals, nature, and sharing my home-cooked meals.
About Antoine
I’m from Normandy, France, and an outdoor enthusiast who loves snowboarding, running, mountain biking, fishing, and hiking. I grew up on my family’s farm, where my father breeds cattle and grows crops. That life taught me the value of hard work and gave me a love for animals and working with my hands. I hold an Advanced Diploma in Landscaping and have experience in agriculture, construction, and truck driving. I’m very hands-on and practical. I’ll admit I’m not the best cook, but I’m always happy to help and if you like homemade French fries, I’m your chef!
We’re open-minded, friendly, and curious, always excited to meet new people, lend a hand, and learn along the way.

We helped in the garden, did some cleaning, little bit of computer work, and even took part in some fun artistic painting.
We had a big, cozy room with our own bathroom. Samuel took us out to town and restaurants, and introduced us to people from his circle, which made us feel very welcome.
He also helped… read more
