Description
Hi future hosts! :)

I'm French with Italian backgrounds so I'm fluent in both language. I also have an advanced level in English and Russian.

I'm planning to travel and work around the US to refresh my English level, meet new people and hopefully become a better person!

As I grew up in the countryside I'll enjoy doing any kind of manual tasks! I already volunteered in many organic farms through Europe (France, Italy, Ukraine, Russia), helped with refurbishing old houses and carpentry, painting the walls, did babysitting and so on. Unfortunately I got no feedbacks on this site yet so don't hesitate to have a look to my Couchsurfing profile here: https://www.couchsurfing.com/people/valentin-mugnaini
I also worked for several months on construction sites and factories, where people told me I was a good element (well yeah you'll just have to trust me on that) !

In addition I've been a French tutor for foreigners in various periods of my life so I'll happily help you learn it! Here's my site although I'm reshaping it atm so it looks pretty chaotic: valentinmugnaini.wordpress.com/

I'd describe myself as a calm and happy person, that tries his best to do what's useful for my host! While in the US I would love to meet new people, go to social events and get to know how real Americans live (The Big Bang Theory and Desperate Housewives might not fully reflect reality). I would also love to go hiking in the wonderful landscapes you guys got.

Nous avons reçu Valentin durant 1 mois et avons apprécié sa compagnie. Très intéressé et curieux pour découvrir de nouveaux savoirs, Valentin sait être a l'écoute des conseils et recherche l'échange également durant les moments de vie quotidienne, tant au jardin qu'à la cuisine (il nous a appris les gnocchis, et troqué contre la pâte à tarte!) ou… read more

J'ai passé quelques semaines chez Erwan et Marie et je recommande absolument !

Tous les deux sont très arrangeants, pédagogues, patients et accueillants. C'est clairement l'un des volontariats où j'ai appris le plus de choses, notamment en termes de charpenterie, jardinage et éducation. Les enfants sont très intéressants et vifs ! Et concernant… read more

Magnifique expérience de deux semaines chez Sandra ! Les tâches étaient diversifiées et plaisantes : s'occuper des animaux et des abeilles, petits travaux de maintenance tout autour du jardin, aide chez des voisins, etc.
Nos conversations étaient très intéressantes, les anecdotes de Sandra sont toujours incroyables à écouter ! Toujours disposée à… read more

Valentin is a great guy. He worked hard at everything I asked him to do, was good company and a good conversationalist. I recommend him to any future host and he is always welcome back here. I enjoyed having him here and miss him now he's gone. Thanks, Valentin!

Wonderful experience at Gaelle's place! The tasks were diverse (horse caring, building a wooden shower tray, imagining how would work a whole piece of garden devoted to entertaining grammar exercises, installing Linux on computers, etc).

Gaelle, the other workawayers and all the people revolving around the place are great persons who will gladly… read more

One of the best experience I had! All family is very welcoming, chill, and patient when it comes to teaching new skills. As I went in winter most of the works were about restoring an old house so I learnt things about construction. I also helped one of the teenagers to do his homeworks, he's smart and nice so all good moments. With the family and… read more

Alex, Catalina et Cyril ont été l'une de mes premières expériences en workaway et je peux dire qu'ils ont mis la barre très haut ! Très pédagogues, patients, intéressants et humains, avec une grande diversité d'activités à découvrir. Le cadre est d'autre part très agréable : village d'à côté qui bouge, voisins & amis très sympathiques et nature… read more

Valentin is a very curious volunteer, always ready to give a help. He understood fast the project and how he could be useful. He shared experiences and knowledge, and was very open to learn new one. He is respectful to the rules of the organization and was very flexible when needed. It has been really a pleasure to share our daily life with him.… read more

Il mio tempo l è stata una delle mie più belle esperienze su workaway! Ho simpatizzato con tante persone interessantissime che mi hanno fato scoprire nuovi aspetti della cultura italiana (e della cucina!...). Le missioni erano varie e nuove per me: mungitura delle capre, raccolta delle verdure, accompagnare la squadra al mercato... Non vedo l'ora… read more
