Description
I am an internationally recognised artist. I am Italian but I live now in Mexico. I speak several languages. I have a master degree in law and a honorary degree in architecture. I am mostly a sculptor and a designer but I also play piano and compose music. I left Italy in 2000 and I have been living in Florida for 15 years. In 2015 I sold my house in Miami and I moved to Mexico. Now I am transforming my new house in the city of Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico into a little boutique hotel. What I need is people able to help me all around the house, cleaning the rooms and the garden, and also building, but not only: every day is different and the tasks can be very different every day according to necessities. If you are a piano tuner even better! I just received my grand piano Kawai KG1 and needs some tuning and a technical revision on the pedals and the keys. Here there are not piano tuners or piano technicians here in Puerto Escondido. I have the only piano in town! But if you are not a piano tuner don't worry! I need your help anyway for the construction still going on, cleaning of the rooms, gardening and more! ! What I also need is a webmaster able to rebuilt my websites. Of course, if you play piano you will be more than welcome to play mine!
Non smokers only please.
Besides a bed, some food lunch/dinner will be also provided including coffee in the morning or ingredients so that Workawayers can cook for themselves. As a matter of fact there is a kitchenette for guests if they want to cook their own food. We are in the center of the city. There are little stores all around and a big supermarket 8 blocks away, at only 650 meters of distance.
Thank you
Emanuele

Help
The main needs for me at this moment is the help in building the new wing of the house together with other professional builders. But every day can be different. I checked on "other" because the life of an artist is full of unpredictable events.
