Description

***UPDATED MARCH 2024 ***

WHO ARE WE?
We are an italian married couple, we have been living in Turin for about 9 years (and almost 2 in the US in between). As we both were looking for a different work-life balance and we are constantly attracted by the seaside, we decided to move - and we are now living in Sardinia (Italy) since early 2021.

WHAT DO WE DO?
Fabio (aka Gome) is a former biomedical engineer who is now working as a sailing skipper in Sardinia during high season (May-Oct).
Federica (aka Fedi) holds a degree in Foreing Languages (International Communication for Tourism) and is interested in everything related to Tourism, especially sustainability and travel planning. But professionally she has esperience in the customer care and in the humanist ceremony field, and currently she is starting her own businesses as humanist celebrant in Italy and as a Yin yoga instructor (managing social media and website building on her own: http://musacelebrante.it/en/).
Both of us are working sporadically for some online projects in our expertise fields (biomedical engeriing and translation/writing).

SOMETHING MORE ABOUT US...
We've been married for almost eleven years now (wow!) and together for 14. We share common love for travel, sea, good food, music, nature, health - and also values and love for each other, of course. We differ in some things, but it's always like one compensates the other - that makes us always feel like a team :)

WHAT IS WORKAWAY FOR US?
Apart from being a nice opportunity to travel saving some money, we consider WA a great chance for people to meet and make the difference in each other's life. Give some help, work together, talk, as long as respect other people's spaces and needs: that's pretty much what we usually try to do when we travel.
