My next destination:
England, United Kingdom - from Jan 2024 until Jan 2025 View allDescription
I think life is fluid; it changes shape. It fills the spaces it finds and expresses itself in those it seeks.
Ciao! I'm Vito. I grew up in alleys smelling of freshly baked bread. I'm from Puglia, the sunny region of southern Italy, the heel of our boot. You can see it very well since the sea almost surrounds it!
I am a romantic who wants to believe in brotherhood between people. I believe in the power of words that fix everything.
I believe in a world of abundance where the first way to receive is to give: "Treat others as you want them to treat you". Exactly the logic driving Workaway: an equal exchange in which all parties involved must be satisfied.
I have a strong love for nature; it can inspire us, unlike this age's pervasive use of technology that makes us stupid!
I have a growing range of interests; we can talk about everything.
I don't have a preference for a destination. I need to learn to speak English fluently, perhaps in England or among English people living abroad in the EU who are easier to reach. And, who knows? Maybe elsewhere.
I want to improve myself by meeting new cultures, spaces, people and acquiring new skills. I learn everything.
I'm almost a mechanical engineering graduate; I will resume my studies left for work one day. I was involved in brand design, and I learned to sail on pleasure boats three years ago, attending a course for water sports operators, but COVID-19 interrupted my practice.
I am an amateur car designer - a personal project shown in the photo section. As a digital music creator but an all-around music lover, I'd like to learn to play a musical instrument as soon as possible.
********************************
The following are the activities in which I have been involved during my Workaway experiences:
Hand weeding, repairing the roof (unsticking the old roof tiles and sticking the new ones), pruning plum trees, grapevines, and roses, harvesting and storing timber and chipboard resulting from timber shredding after pruning a big linden as well. Further: digging, clearing, and adding soil improver before finally planting out; redoing a pebble path, including replacing the anti-weed matting and washing the stones; cleaning and sorting a pantry, storage room, and kitchen. I've helped with a project for Ukrainian refugees (making boxes, sorting, packing, closing, lifting, stacking and dispatching), washing and painting whole building walls affected by Sahara dust, and more.
********************************
I'm studying web development again and would like to find time to continue doing it during my experience abroad after spending the last year and a half looking after my father, supporting him with the best diet against his auto-immune disease with fantastic results.
So, It's with great joy that I announce I'm back on track for my next adventure abroad.
That's why I can't wait to hear from you! A big hug from Italy! ;)
**READING APART FOR TIRELESS READERS**
Let me share this personal thought:
A person of intelligence is always someone who recognizes his equal in a generous one, as when that happens, following their meet-up, the world gets better than ever for both of them, and thus it remains.
So be bountiful, clever, and proud of the world you grant!
