Welcome!

We are a young couple from Italy. We both love traveling, and from our trips we learnt different jobs and collect many skills and that allow us to understand there is so much more to explore ;)
That's why we have decided to leave again in order to grow personally, professionally but mostly spiritually.

My name is Piccarda Lucrezia, born and raised in the sunny and burlesque peninsula of Italy. Recently I've completed a Master Degree in Philosophy with a thesis on Medieval Philosophy and mystic, and that has a lot to do with my unlimited curiosity for the human spirit. I would say about me, one word: evolution. I usually combine curiosity and transformation and for this reason I’ve been always travelled a lot.
I met Indian's culture for the first time in 2016 while I was traveling around in India. When I got back I've started practicing yoga.
Now it has been four years of daily and consistent practice. I got back to India many times in last few years and the last time was in September 2019 to attend a Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh. My certificated is accredited with Yoga Alliance USA in Hatha and Ashtanga Yoga. I will be always grateful to the Rishikesh Yoga Association, in which I've found high-quality yoga education, inspirational teachers and great attention to everyone's needs.
During quarantine I worked for a Yoga Teaching Assistant Project, to assist and help Italian speakers during their YTTC in India. I have translated the Italians version for the website and worked as social media manager (IG, FB).
Before the lockdown I was planning, as Teacher Assistant for Italians speakers, to go to Rishikesh, @ Rishikesh Yoga Association for October-November. Now plans are changed and I am look for learning yoga, experiment as teacher and living healthy, surrounded by nature.
Something else I would love to mention is my love for nature, plants, animals, permaculture, living-farm. When I finished the High School, I moved to Australia and I lived and worked there for one year. I have mostly working on farms: picking (cherries, potatoes, grapes, berries, cucumbers) and helping with general maintenance and gardening.
I have been also volunteering in Australia's hostels (receptionist, cleaner, promoter and help with social media).
After my Master Degree I moved to Amsterdam for 6 months. I worked in a Coffeeshop and as a maid on the floor in a 5* Hotel in Amsterdam.
I'm not looking for something in particular. I'm really good by now. My curiosity and my energies are bringing me again on travel. So, I'm in. My plans are simple: practice and teach yoga, have good habits, live surrounded by nature, take my time to chill and relax, and enjoy life.

Giovanni is 27, born in Italy he raised around the world. Since he was 14, he started working with his family through crazy projects in different places. From building and housing in Italy and Malta (where he learnt skills such as: plumber, carpenter, electrician, painter, builder, plaster...) to sail around the world and learning how to manage, drive and live on a boat at 360°. Afterwards he helped to build and develop a special project in the Venice's countryside. They restored an ancient farm-house and opened a country Hotel with restaurant.
From that moment he has been starting to cook for his family's restaurant and learning how to prepare food following traditional Italian's recipes. He discovered a big passion for fresh food and local product: everyday he was used to go to the garden and pick-up fresh products to serve to costumers.
So he decided to make this passion his job. Traveling around he worked as a chef in a few restaurant in Australia, Europe but mostly in Italy, where two years ago he has built his own business. Now something changed: he realised he would aim to share this knowledge, these abilities and his passion and caring for food with people from all nations and not keeping as his own business. So that's why we are leaving...
:) :) :) :)

HIGHLIGHT:
We are working on our-new project called "The Food Former" (IG: @thefoodformer) which is at the beginning. The idea is based on Giovanni's passion for discovering new tastes and recipes; and my passion for writing, photography and different arts, food included. We aim to create a website where share everything we come across. Now we are working on different media contents, writing articles and we're getting ready to share it soon!
Through WorkAway we are looking for experience new places, food's cultures, to discover new ways to expand our project, that by now is shared only on Instagram @thefoodformer.

Ciao a tutti :)

vom Host (Come Help our non-profit Yoga ...) für Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni)

Piccarda e Giovanni are both pretty knowledgeable and capable people.
I invited them to join my project and they lived up to my expectations.
Giovanni knows a lot about construction and renovations, and he had some great ideas to improve my facilities that turned out really well. He's motivated and self driven, he can absolutely handle projects on… read more

Vom Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni) für Host für (Come Help our non-profit Yoga ...)

We stayed here for a month. As we arrived we realized immediately how peaceful and relaxing the place was. Right in the middle of the magnificent Otranto, 5 minutes walking from the main beach, but still immersed in the silence of nature. Silvia is a great host. She is super friendly and open to new ideas. She was always making sure we were… read more

Vom Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni) für Host für (Come and help at a historic ...)

Our experience in the Castle has been full of emotions and rich in possibilities. We arrived in the Chateau around the middle of October and we spent only one month there because then the lockdown arrived. I don't want to mention how incredible and unique it could be living in a castle of the 12th century, how many stories belong from it, and how… read more

vom Host (Come and help at a historic ...) für Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni)

Piccarda and Giovanni stayed with us for about 5 weeks and helped us a lot. They are both very respectful and organised. Giovanni is an excellent chef and we truly enjoyed his cooking and Piccarda is a passionate and experienced yoga teacher. As part of their stay fell during the lockdown in France, we had to shift to other tasks than why they… read more

Vom Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni) für Host für (Welcoming help with ...)

Our first experience with workaway was at this place in Oria, Puglia. As we arrived we felt in love with the place and the atmosphere and that’s why working there has never been hard or unpleasant. We planned and scheduled all the jobs by ourselves recreating and renovating with passion and caring the Villa inside and out (mostly carpentry,… read more

vom Host (Welcoming help with ...) für Workawayer (Piccarda Lucrezia & Giovanni)

Giovanni and Piccarda were with me for 8 days. They are the best Workawayers I have had and that you could ever dream of hosting. The dynamic duo. Two very different characters with so much to offer. Very much in love and harmony with each other. Respectful, hardworking, caring, funny and their work ethics are taken to another level. Definitely… read more not your standard Workawayers.

Giovanni’s profile was so good that I thought It was too good to be true. Chef, carpenter, plumber, Electrician and builder, really? Having utilised all of his skills I can confirm he is superman, a superhuman. Boundless energy, a happy disposition and an amazing highly skilled worker.

As we walked around the house and gardens on their arrival, Giovanni kept nodding and saying, I can do that, yes I will do that. Regardless of the intense heat, Gianni is working through my list and has even made his own list. I have never been so impressed with a workawayer. He could easily charge for his skills but he wants to build up a few reviews and experience first. I have been the lucky one to be his first host. I would say it’s the perfect time to snap this wonderful couple up.

As we all know behind every great man Is a great woman. Piccarda Is that person supporting Giovanni and making his life perfect. She is the person who inspires and motivates Giovanni. A beautiful person inside and out, very calm and sincere. She will work as a team with Giovanni, other workerwayers or and me, but is equally happy to use her own initiative and find jobs and get stuck in. I found at first Piccarda was a little uncertain of my instructions, she need not have been because she has always done everything with a positive, committed attitude and to a high standard. Piccarda works off her own initiative. I have never been in a situation where she was asking me what she should do next. A breath of fresh air.

Piccarda has a good eye for detail, very artistic, although slim she is very strong and refused to let me move furniture. Piccarda helped me through a few legal issues I had, quickly and calmly. She was the first to be there and congratulate me on my are residency which meant a lot to me.

Piccarda Is a team player, she is sociable and very warm and was eager to jump in and help my German Workawayer with his sports injures and posture. He played football yesterday for the first time in ages without pain and is now a Yoga convert due to Piccarda’s patience and instruction.

During the lockdown Piccarda was practicing her yoga for 9 hours a day. I haven’t had a minute to practice with her but I think she is at a teaching level, which Is her ultimate goal. I have even considered having a little yoga retreat here if they do stay on. I know Piccarda is competent and able to do this.

Although an extremely skilled chef, I have been able to convince Giovanni that he should relax after work and let me do the cooking (most of the time) This was difficult for Giovanni because cooking is his wind down time. We have now struck a happy balance. Be prepared to be blown away by his culinary skills.

As I write this the pair of them are working again regardless of me telling them not to and they are leaving today. They have worked tirelessly and enthusiastically to transform my home and garden. Often working more than the agreed time.

We have already agreed that next year they will return. I cannot rate this couple more.

I have family arriving soon. I am going to accommodate Giovanni and Piccarda in my flat. He has insisted on finishing up the carpentry work and other work as friends whilst they are there. I’m hoping they will then come back to me until mid July. I will keep them as long as I can. They really are worth holding onto.

I wanted to write this review now even though they are coming back because not only do they deserve a good, appreciative placement but any host will also hit the jackpot if they take G & P on.
