Description
Hi my name is Claudio and I have always lived on the island of Ischia in the Gulf of Naples.
It is a wonderful place whose wild and volcanic nature has been irreparably modified to accommodate mass tourism, with guests seeking worldliness and less natural beauty.
However, I have always preferred to live the Island following a sporty, simple lifestyle in contact with Nature.
For many years I have shared and freely passed on my passion for sea kayaking, hiking and cycling.
I like making new friends and promoting a different island on Instagram: Nature, Sport, Sharing and Hospitality.
I could have organized adventure holidays, or what I'm thinking now is that a small sports community could be created, only of selected people with the same vision, which would at least become sustainable in the future and not just a cost for me.
For part of the day I work on the computer and for the rest of the time I go out and play sports alone or in company.
I don't like evening life so much, but I'm always out during the day.
During the first part of the Summer I like to dedicate myself to a small vegetable garden on the terrace.
I am very sensitive and passionate about psychology.
As you can see from my photos, I have always supported women in sport.
In fact, where I live, I think due to a question of mentality, there are a thousand men on mountain bikes for every woman on mountain bikes, the percentage is similar for sea kayaking, while there are more women than men who go hiking, but only for short routes.
I believe that the most precious thing we can achieve in life, which has a term unknown to us, is the quality of time and the quality of the people with whom we share it. Ciao 🌞

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
I can show you the whole island by sea and land.
I can improve your kayaking and cycling skills.
I can teach you the Italian language, how to create a small vegetable garden on the terrace, how to install solar panels and be energy independent.
Plus I can teach you how to cook some Italian dishes.
Help
Test long trekking routes.
Check the condition of the paths and clean them only when required.
Test medium and long routes in kayaks and e-bikes, giving help in managing and cleaning the equipment and vehicles used.
Take photos and create small videos that promote the island of Ischia.
Share recipes from your country of origin and your favorite dishes.
Help out with the small vegetable garden on the terrace in Spring and Summer.
Here it is essential to have the desire to activate small challenges with yourself and the desire to learn new skills in every area because
your commitment will lead to the perfecting of a method of personal improvement that will also be useful to other workawayers.
Languages
Languages spoken
English: IntermediateThis host offers a language exchange
I want to perfect my spoken English and learn the basics of other languages such as French, German, and more. I enjoy learning from both foreigners and Italians.
Accommodation
You can stay on the second floor of the building where I live, in an independent apartment 100 meters from the sea and right in the center of the municipality of Ischia.
For food we are independent but sometimes we could share recipes and I could also cook for you.
What else ...
The beach near the house is really characteristic, as well as having food shops and the bus stop just a few meters from the house. Living in the center there are many restaurants and activities of all kinds.
I dedicate myself to workaways only for a few months of the year, taking advantage of 2 apartments that would otherwise remain unused in the same period, as well as all the rest of the sports equipment.
The Workaway have an average duration of 10 to 15 days, which can only be extended in rare cases.
The guest will always be treated with respect and generosity.
At the same time, polite behavior and fast and transparent communication are required, always!

We hadn't communicated much initially and I wasn't very sure of her character. When she arrived in Ischia I understood that the workaway would go very well thanks to her great energy and friendliness, which is fundamental for me when I have multiple workawayers to manage at the same time.
