  • Description

    Hi!

    We are Katia and Gauthier, French-Russian married couple in their mid-thirties from Vichy. in 2021, during COVID, we traveled around France for a year and did our first workaway project in the Vosges. We helped a single mom with two kids to renovate her forest house. We did painting, tile work, gardeninng, cooking, cleaning and helped with some graphic editing and teaching. After that we travelled to Israel and worked for a beehive startup. We assembled hives, painted them, helped with cleaning and cooking.

    We like meeting people from different cultures, learning from others and share our experience and knowledge. Katia is a linguist and historian and Gauthier is a web developer. Both of us have some experience in teaching both children and adults.

    We love creating and renovating stuff as well. For example, we renovated our bathroom and kitchen by ourselves when we lived in Paris. We also enjoy renovating second-hand furniture like old chairs, or cupboards.

    We love moving - by bike, by rollers or on foot.
    New places and new faces are our motivation!
    So far it has been great to meet interesting people thanks to workaway platform!
