Do you eat poorly when you're traveling because of money and time? Do you have a hard time being creative when thinking about what to cook? Are you a big fan of trying out new foods? Do you love eating vegan food? Are you passionate about international cuisine? In any case, this workation is ideal for you!
You'll have time, space and the best working conditions. But you'll also have the perfect environment to learn how to cook with an Italian-Brazilian instructor that will teach you plenty of recipes from different countries. The Coliving Petit Vélan will be a great and friendly school.
In one week you'll learn dishes from Brazil, Italy, Lebanon, Vietnam, Mexico and Switzerland. On the last day we'll go on an excursion to a nearby Swiss city, where you'll learn how to find the best vegan products and prices both on supermarkets and restaurants.
Welcome and let's get cooking!

FAQ
A workation is exactly how it sounds — working while on vacation (work + vacation = workation). It is also called a 'workoliday' or 'woliday'.
It's a combination of business and leisure: sending emails and hitting targets in the middle of the mountains, while stunning hikes can make you feel rejuvenated.
