  Description

  My name is Lorenzo. I'm Italian, and I speak fluent Spanish, English, French, and, of course, Italian. I've lived in Spain since 2004, and I've previously lived in the US for one year, Ireland for two, and New Zealand for two. I was a professional pianist in opera houses in Italy, then a working traveler as a waiter, carpenter, painter, and salesman; then a professor at the Valencia Conservatory, then an entrepreneur, and more things on the way. I live alone with my three cats and am used to hosting travelers.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Workawayers will have the opportunity to learn a lot from my knowledge in different fields. I have worked in many different fields, like music, carpentry, painting, construction, logistics, restaurants, real estate, and banks.
  Living in a natural park will allow me to show you all the different activities that I am used to doing, like looking for mushrooms, collecting pine cones, cleaning the forest of dead trees, and so on.
  I am very interested to learn from workawayers, especially food traditions and personal interests, as a real cultural exchange

  Accommodation

  The guest house that I am offering has 40 m² with a living room with kitchen, bedroom, and full bathroom. I love cooking and sharing it.
  
  Food is a massive part of culture, and I love connecting over a good meal! In exchange for your help (up to 25 hours a week with 2 full days off), I will provide three meals a day.
  
  Shared Meals: I aim to eat breakfast/lunch/dinner together as often as possible. It’s a fantastic time to unwind and catch up. We'd also love it if you wanted to cook a traditional meal from your home country once in a while!
  
  Independent Meals: For the meals we don’t eat together (or on your days off), the kitchen will be fully stocked with ingredients for you to prepare your own food.
  
  Dietary Needs: I can easily accommodate vegetarians / vegans / gluten-free diets / etc., just let me know in advance!
