Description
We are a friendly and adaptable couple: Samuel (French) and Xiaoyu (Chinese), currently traveling the world and looking for meaningful Workaway experiences.
We are easygoing, respectful, and always happy to help. We enjoy meeting new people, discovering different lifestyles, and contributing positively to the places we stay. We quickly adapt to new environments and like being part of daily life with our hosts.
We are both open-minded, reliable, and good communicators. We speak French, English, Italian, and Mandarin, so communication is usually very easy.
Samuel has a strong background in hospitality and tourism and enjoys working with people. He is energetic, hands-on, and interested in social projects.
Xiaoyu is organized, detail-oriented, and very dependable. She has experience as a product manager in IT and is comfortable with tasks that require focus, structure, and responsibility.
We are happy to help with a variety of tasks such as hospitality, gardening, basic farm work, organizing, cleaning, or supporting small projects.
Most importantly, we bring a positive attitude and a genuine desire to contribute and learn.
Looking forward to sharing experiences with you!
