Description
We are 2 Friends that met while traveling in New Zealand 8 years ago, where we experienced Workaway for the first time, and visited many diverse hosts.

Then we kept travelling together in UK, Italy, Greece, Ireland, alternating between Road trips and Workaways.

We helped in backpacker hostels, cultural and meditation centers, environmental projects, and pruning/picking fruits.

Through this journey we then are greatful to have acquired various skills as we helped welcoming clients, in the kitchen, cleaning and housekeeping, learned about the basis permaculture and helped in gardens and orchards.

To be more precise on both of us in our working lives,

Valentin is a barista in a big mountain restaurant and loves the contact with people, living experiences in communities, and learn new things.

Damien is a versatile, logistics manager in the same restaurant. He loves doing various different things, this way there is no routine.
In this restaurant we are a team of 20 people, it's a real pleasure to work together as a team and feels like a real community.

We both love to meet people from all over the World, Travel in a meaningful way by bringing value to the world.

It's hard to find people more open-hearted than them.

We spent an amazing week at this place! River is a super nice guy, open-hearted and a great cook! He always wanted us to be as comfortable as possible and gave us good tips about what to visit/where to hike in this breathtaking valley that he loves deeply, and we understand why.
We also had a chance to meet Chiara, Ale and other wonderful people… read more

It was an absolute pleasure having Damien with us here. He and his friend Valentine brought good energy, creativity and produced some amazing videos and drone shots that we can use to promote our project. Good workers, respectful and funny, any workaway host would be lucky to host Damien and Valentine. We hope to see you again some day!

I spent almost two weeks there, Shelley, Stella and Finn are awesome, and the dogs so cute !

A big thank you to them, I… read more
