Description

Hi there ! We are Valentine and Max. We are currently travelling around Western Europe for 5 months. We used to have a casual big city life during 3 years before deciding to buy a 1992 camper van (aka Gary). The goals of our travel are mainly to experience a more minimalist way of life, to slow down the rythm, to take the time to "be" instead of "have" and to meet people from all walks of life.

We are (at least we think we are haha) easygoing people and respectful. We were used to live with other people during our studies and after in housesharing as well. We like to try to adapt to people when we integrate a "community".

For us, the Workaways are the opportunity to exchange with other people, since roadtripping is quite centered on us. We are open about the nature of the job. Although, we prefer to work WITH the host rather than FOR the host. According to our experience, helping people in specific projects is always more satisfaying than being a maintenance worker.

Hope to see you soon

Plus de détails sur les langues qui m'intéressent
We both are native French speakers. We are fluent in English and we understand Dutch but it is not easy to talk in Dutch. Valentine speaks fluent Spanish while Max is still learning with his cariño (and is getting quite good). Val would love to learn Português! (I am currently trying to have some basics via Duolingo app, but speaking with native is definitly the best way to learn).)
