Beschreibung
I'm a very fit 53 yr old. I have many skills and can turn my hand to most things. I qualified as a landscape gardener in the 90s and spent ten years living and working in London. I have a reasonable knowledge of soft landscaping, but have also gained skills working in property maintenance - carpentry, plumbing, electrics etc. In 2019, I built an extension to my flat. I had help with the structural work, but did most of the second fix work myself. In my youth, I trained as a vehicle mechanic and still maintain all my own vehicles. If you have an older vehicle, I have a wealth of experience, particularly with Alfas, Peugeots and Renaults, having owned many of these vehicles.
I have a dry sense of humour, curious about anything and everything and have many interests, including travel, writing, books, music, film, R4 and 6Music, anything mechanical, gardening, cooking, hiking, camping, getting out in nature and lots more! In the last few years, I've ridden a motorbike around Thailand and Vietnam, walked and cycled the Camino in Spain and spent summers travelling round Europe in my van. Last summer I was at Tokyo 2020, working as a driver at the Olympics. I love all animals, but have a real soft spot for cats, dogs, ducks and goats! I don't know anything about horses, but it would be good to get some experience with them! I eat everything and love to make good food.

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Learn about permaculture and ...)

Lara and Domenico were fabulous hosts! They showed me all around the local area and included me in everything they did. Lara is a lovely person and was so very kind to me - she's a fantastic cook too! (Lara, I still think of all those wonderful pasta dishes you made) Domenico (the Prof!) was great fun, with a very infectious laugh - we had some… read more

Mauro was great to have around and did lots of very helpful work here. As well as being good company he is very practical and has lots of experience so can turn his hand to many things.
Very happy to recommend him to anyone.
Thank you for all your help Mauro.

Brigitte and Roland were fantastic! They ferried us all around the local area, showing us the beaches, mediaeval villages and of course, Monaco! Brigitte was a great host and always prepared fabulously tasty food for lunch and dinner. Roland's historical knowledge is second to none and I really enjoyed our conversations together and of course,… read more

Pete and Dalia were really kind and let us all use their home (well château actually...darling) as though it was our home. There was plenty of good food and they organised lots of activities for us in our free time. They have two energetic children and a lovely cat...who isn't very energetic, but has loads of character to make up for it! They are… read more

It was great having Mauro with us! He only stayed a week with us, during which time he helped us hugely in getting our soon-to-be holiday rental accommodation ready for business. He helped with tiling the kitchen/lounge area: preparing the floor, cutting tiles and plinths and the tiling itself.

He’s very kind, hardworking, considerate, easy to… read more

Margaret and Stuart are great hosts. Easy going and relaxed, they really make you feel at home. Margaret is a great cook and there is always plenty of food. They have an eclectic mix of friends and always include you in their social activities. They are both kind, empathic, interesting and amusing - a credit to workaway!

Mauro is a really lovely guy. We thoroughly enjoyed his stay. His standard of workmanship is excellent. We were always thoroughly impressed by the quality of his work, while he was modest about it. He worked hard every day, usually on his own due to circumstances and was enthusiastic and encouraging about our project. He is warm, jovial, easy… read more

Stephen is a kind man and lives in a lovely, quiet village. He has a beautiful, large and comfortable room for workawayers to stay in and shares his house with Max, a very friendly, good natured dog and Lucky the cat, who is a real character! If you need to learn or improve your practical skills, you could learn a lot from Stephen... he also makes… read more

Mauro is a grafter, he took my garden from an overgrown mess to a tidy well kept garden, he dug over my veggie patch and planted many seeds, all we need now is some sun to get it all going.
He took Max my dog on many a walk.
He was only with me for a week but he achieved a lot in that week.
I wish him well on his travels
