Description

We are Greta (31) and Manuel (32), an Italian couple currently living in the Netherlands.

We have just finished our PhD tracks (4-year research contract at University) and, after spending some months in Costa Rica doing several Workaway activities, we would like to explore the Alps for the summer.

We both speak fluently Italian, English and Spanish, with some knowledge of German

Greta: my free-time passions are gardening and growing my own food, cooking and baking, (teaching) yoga and spending time in nature. In the past, I have also lived in Spain and UK. I am a very enthusiastic and joyful person. Dancing, outdoor sports and kids bring me happiness.
