Description

Hello everybody!

We are an open-minded, creative and animal lover couple. Gionata is 28y from Italy and Bianka 25y from Hungary. We are looking for an experience where we can enjoy our favourite activities such as hiking, exploring, drawing, reading, spiritual practices, meditating, crafting and woodworking, spend time and connect with animals and nature. We like to know new people, their cultures and hear their points of view about the life and the world.
We would like to improve our skills and we're eager to learn new ones.

We are looking for a Paid Job through Workaway for the Summer season of 2025.
We're both have training and experience in Hospitality and customer service.
Gionata is well trained in Hospitality, having 10 years of experience between restaurants, bars and cafes, mostly working as a Barista/Bartender, Waiter or Receptionist but also his last position was as a Cafe Manager. He´s also a wonderful Plant-Based Chef and Creator both professionally and at home (really passionate about natural food and ingredients, harvesting etc. ). He's currently working as a Handyman. He is also working as a Energy Healer (accredited Usui Reiki Master) and Holistic Practitioner, co-hosting "wellness retreats" with various workshops and ceremonies.
Bianka is a reliable and hard working person, with over 3 years of experience as Professional Cleaner and Housekeeper. She is also studying, training and working as a designer, working mostly with Illustrations, Furniture Design, Product Design, Sustainability, Woodworking, Ceramic, Textile and more.
We both are really crafty persons, we love to do crafting such as jewelries, wooden sculptures, paintings, ceramics, house decor and much more, we are also use to participate in markets from time to time.
We are professional pet-sitters from over 5 years.
We had many great experiences in workaway which taught us many important skills such as: woodworking, building, agriculture, house renovating, furniture renovating, handyman, gardening, painting, design, farming, animal care, farm care, cleaning, forestry, general maintenance, sustainability, minimalism, hospitality.

We are together from 6 years and we lived together in different countries such as England, Italy, Sweden, Ireland, Norway and Finland, for now :) Thanks to Workaway we would have a great opportunity to go somewhere, spend there enough time to live the place, feel it, know it and connect with it.
We are also really interested to learn the languages in the places we stay as well as their culture.



I hope our paths gonna cross soon.
