Description
We are a very energetic couple. We were living on a boat in the Virgin Islands, but due to family illnesses we had to go back to the states. Now we are just traveling souls enjoying and chasing life. We love meeting new friends soon to become new family. Alexis has been a seamstress/upholsterer, previously general manager in restaurant and hospitality field. Published author of four books. Weekly guest host on local cable TV show via zoom from wherever we are. During the pandemic I spent the time being a general manager of a hotel. Vince has been an electronics engineer, quality control manager pool certified, and nearly any form of maintenance. We are excited to be able to meet new friends, opportunities, and learn new skills.

There are no words for how lovely these people are. We were there for four months. We have made life long friendships, Gina and Yo are generous and kind. The town is small, but if you like hiking and rafting this is the place to be. Thank you so much for the experience.

What a lovely family. Petra and Ondre are truly lovely people. There is a train close and a few towns to explore. If you are looking for a place in the beautiful country this is the place for you. You will be welcomed and treated very kindly.
Thank you so much for sharing your life with us even if it was only for a week and a half.

Alexis and Vincent joined us for two weeks in August. They brought an incredibly energetic and engaging nature with them, that was beneficial in maintaining the good spirits of others.
They were both able to work independently and are very capable Workawayers.
We have no hesitation in recommending them for other hosts!

Vincent and I took part in two separate teaching sessions (6 days each) The program is intense immersion. Devon, Sebastian, and Annette were really great. The days are longer than I had anticipated, but it was a great learning experience where we made life long friendships.
