    Description

    Living my life at best tryng to make something good.

    Had travelled a lot and still travelling very often (would love to have someone who can scout a good minivan to buy and fix, then we can drive around XD).
    Own good Knowledge and culture: I was born curious :-D. Can chat almost about everything.
    You will get in touch with lots if you spend time with me.
    I'm into holistic medicine, I'm a massage therapist and I'm still studying osteopathy, but what I consider supreme is Music; I do lots of concerts and I'm trying to learn how to play.
    If you can be useful with those things, it would be the best.

    My town, Bormio, is a small jewel in the middle of the Alps: "La Magnifica Terra" as they called it.
    Here is one of the most ancient town on the Alps with Medieval, Roman, and Prehistoric History, it's one of the most beautiful touristy destinations, and one of the cheapest on the Alps, with a lot of culture, and also food, wine and liquor culture.
    Bormio is a ski resort in winter, a bike, motorbike and racing cars destination in summer, since we are located at the bottom of Passo Stelvio.
    We are the main thermal water spot on the Alps: there's luxury Spa, a general spa, and the free hot springs pools in the nature, one of the only on the Alps and my favourite.
    Nightlife and Social life is also not bad to be a town of roughly 4.000 people.

    Mission: Discover the meaning of Gilgamesh Poem!

    Motto:
    In vino Veritas, 22 August is Bormio Wine Night (trust me: it's better than new year's)

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I have lots to share, it's like I've already lived 20 times XD

    Language exchange, I'm always keen to learn other languages too, especially Portougese, French and Russian.

    I'm aware of many many activities that can be done in the area, and having someone willing to do and see, can push myself towards doing this together, mostly I like going the hot springs
    Hope I can learn and get a lot from you ;-)

  • Help

    Help

    ATTENTION: now urgently looking for someone starting ASAP
    Currently I have a couple of free beds, so it would be cool to get some help instead of leaving them free.
    I'm new hosting and currently I would accept also for just A FEW DAYS, to see how we go.

    average help 4hr per day, but we'll figure out together since I'm still new.

    If you're comfortable with it, the current priority for me is:

    -to get help practicing Osteopathy or Massage techniques; I'd really need to practice Thai and Balinese massage, that's actually the biggest help you could do, but general help is also needed ;-)

    -to learn guitar/drum, and music related staff

    -to learn medicine

    -to learn holistic MEDICINE in general, Homeopathy, psychedelic therapies,and any other cool related displicines

    -a menichacal expert, to scout a van or an electric motorbike

    -somone owning a horse or a donkey, to teach me how to ride

    -an orgonite expert to to build some together


    Apart from my priority above, help could be many things, I have good creativity to find you something useful to do ;D
    I'm very active in many fields and activities, I find difficult to keep up with everything so I need general help.
    At the moment I haven't got a driving license, so I may ask you to drive.
    Most of the help required will probably be help with task at the Computer, (better if you bring yours).
    Cooking skills and tips are very welcome, and I'll make try mine too.
    I may ask you to take care of Animals occasionally, I have an Animal Care Agency.
    If you can teach me or help me improve some of the languages I'm trying to learn (even Italian), with lessons or chatting would be great! I can also help, I'm quite good at grammar in general.

    I'd like to have a flexible person who's able to adapt to any tasks. My life is very dynamic so I really don't know what's gonna happen the next days and it could be necessary doing some less pleasant tasks.
    No minimum stay, but Maximum stay 3 weeks, ideally 1 or 2 weeks.

    ATTENTION: currently I need someone helping me, I'm on crutches until the 24th of August.

    A direct phone call will be the best way to quickly get to know each other. Don't worry: just phone me.
