    Description

    Hi, I’m Leu I grow up between Sicily, Rome, Tuscany and Milan. I’m a young architect, I recently moved back to Sicily for work and I’m living in my family home. My workaway project, as my home is in need of some renovation DIY tasks, is to do it up, and I would love your help. This includes simple tasks such as repaint walls and doors, do up the terrace by planting plants and seeds and other similar tasks.
    I’m an easygoing person, however, for me care and attention to details is very important. Also to keep the house clean.
