Description
Hi there! I am traveling around the world for the next few months. I recently quit my job as an exec at a Silicon Valley startup and had been planning on adventuring around the world for the last 4 years. After a lot of considerations with how to most safely travel during COVID, I decided to still do it!

I have always loved to travel and would spend a month every summer in France with my extended family. There’s something about being on a plane to a new destination, with the perfect playlist on repeat, that is a feeling that can’t be replicated anywhere else. I want to explore cultures and see the day-to-day of people around the world. Understand traditions, mindsets, and ways of life. There’s so much knowledge in the world, why not soak it up from the wiser people around you!

I love hiking, running, biking and doing improv. I've performed throughout the US on various improv teams. It’s similar to traveling, you have unexpected adventures that you say “Yes, and” to.

More details about your skills
Very much a jack of most trades. I worked at a daycare for 4 years taking care of kids and the building itself. I worked as a janitor at a gym for 2 summers. I've worked as a chief operating officer of a startup which involved doing everything nontechnical. I also worked at a coffee shop/wine bar in Geneva, Switzerland for one semester.

First and foremost Viviane is a jack of all trades as she describes herself in the profile.
She is one of the best nanny we had: funny, sweet, reliable and she fit the mold very well!
We absolutely recommend her, no doubt about it! Good and funny memories of the time spent together!
All the best dear friend and we hope to see you again one day

What a wonderful experience with this fun, funky, and absolutely endearing family. The boys speak English very well and are very bright, young minds with lots of energy. Gio cooks incredible Italian food and Ale makes some of the strongest coffee I've ever had :) You'll be fully immersed in their family and have the opportunity to learn about… read more

Andrew and Laura have a beautiful plot of land in the greenery of Portugal. They welcomed me in their home for about one week. I did lots of olive picking and trimming and some yard work. Andrew invited me to his band’s practice session and Laura took me on a beautiful walk around the area! Really a nice way to recharge, thank you Laura and Andrew… read more

This was my first workaway experience and I couldn’t ask for a better host! Bettina and her beautiful home/garden were everything and more you could hope for in a Workaway stay. I reached out to Bettina 2 days before my proposed arrival date and she happily welcomed me in her home. I even ended up staying four more days than originally intended!… read more
