Description
Hello everyone!
We are Valentine and Maxime, a couple excited to embark on the Workaway journey together. Originally from Belgium, we share a passion for exploring new cultures, meeting diverse people, and contributing to meaningful projects.
Together, we enjoy traveling, hiking, camping, art and we’re looking for enriching experiences where we can lend a helping hand while learning from our hosts. We are particularly interested in organic farming, renovation, hospitality, sustainable projects but always happy to discover new things. Also, we both are French teachers back home so more than glad to help :)
We consider ourselves adaptable, enthusiastic, hardworking, easygoing, and we thrive in team settings. We love sharing stories, cooking meals together, and discovering local traditions.
If you’re looking for a motivated couple ready to contribute to your project and share some great moments, feel free to reach out! We can’t wait to connect and start this adventure together.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Valentine & Maxime
