Hi hosts and workawayers! Nice to e-meet you and thanks for visiting our profile! (:

We're Viri and Beto (Virginia -33- and Roberto -39-), from Buenos Aires (Argentina) but travelling the last 3 years. We're very kind and social persons. Very helpful, happy, proactive, and always looking for a positive and creative way to solve problems.

Why are we here? Why not? The world is too big to stay in one place & life is too short to do just one thing... We love to travel, do useful things, help others to realize their dreams and projects, meet people, lovely animals, learn about other cultures, learn more languages... just enjoy life. We think the world is changing so fast that we want to be part of these changes.

- A little more about us!

Viri studied at a spanish/english bilingual school back in Buenos Aires, so she manages very well the english language. She also studied to become a veterinarian, for three years, and the career of Psychology. She's also a fan of every kind of animal, mostly cats.

Regarding her work experience, she've worked as a Kindergarten Auxiliar at the school she studied at (St. Margaret's School, Buenos Aires), so she loves taking care and playing with kids. On the other hand, she worked as a Bilingual Recepcionist at a Doctor's Office for 8 years and she used to run a Make-Up project with her twin sister.

Viri really enjoys music and discovering new bands, and loves to sing, playing the guitar, piano, dancing, and everything that has to do with arts.

As soon as we moved to Spain, she started to work taking care of dogs and cats, and as a front desk receptionist in a Thai Massage Center.

Beto has a Degree in Advertising and worked almost ten years in different Advertising Agencies, but in 2014 he decided to start his own project, creating his own Creative Agency with two more friends-partners, so that's his main activity nowadays. Also, he has worked as a University professor, so he likes to teach and give lessons about what he knows.

He also lived in City of Mexico (Exploring the area to expand the agency) and Jericoacoara (Brazil) - Just to know how it was to live at the beach, and loved it. He was helping a friend who owns a Hotel, helping with the tourists, Social Media, checkins/checkouts, etc.-

Beto's also a clown-therapist and really love the circus, practiced acrobatics, love music, play percussion and he's an amateur singer. Passionate for the nature and animals. Loves playing fútbol (aka soccer) and all kind of sports. Also, he's an amateur magician too. He studied one year in one of the most important magic academies back in Argentina (No, he didn’t study at Hogwarts... hahaha!)

Together, over the past few years, we’ve gained strong hands-on experience in hospitality, guest service, pet care, and day-to-day operations in multicultural environments.

A very important milestone for us was our paid position in Italy (April–October 2026) at Locanda di Poggio al Sole (a restaurant with accommodation in Chianti), where we worked full-time across both restaurant and lodging operations. During those months we prepared daily service, supported kitchen and dining room activities, managed orders and payments, handled reservations, welcomed suppliers, and took care of guest check-ins/check-outs and general property upkeep.
That long-term professional experience gave us even more structure, responsibility, and confidence in high-standard hospitality environments.

So, that’s a brief summary of us, but please feel free to contact us if you’d like to know more!

- What we're looking for at this moment:

Hospitality:
Ready to take responsabilities related to reception (front-desk, checkin, checkout), cleaning, cooking (informal), and making people feel confortable.

Taking care of pets:
We can manage to take care of many animals. We're really-really animal lovers.

Language/cultural exchange:
We can teach English or Spanish. We'll love to learn Italian or improve Portuguese.

House-sitting:
We're fun, but also serious, so we can take care of your home with responsibility.
Includes gardening.

Business Grow:
We're always looking for business-oriented initiatives :)

DIY & Mantainance:
Ok, we're not really experts in this area, but we really like to learn new things and be able to handle it.

Always:
Meet new places, cultures, and friends :)
