Description
Hi I am seeking a host who wants some amazing artwork such as a mural or a sign or anything artistic, even decorating and organizing living spaces as well as light DIY jobs, repairing doors, windows, gates furniture, etc. I can send you pics of recent achievements.
I have been using the other site for years of intermittent travel and I have 100% positive reviews, having used my carpentry skills and metalworking skills and signwriting/artistic skills for hosts in Italy, Croatia, Morrocco, Zambia and Philippines, and made some great friends along the way.
My goal was to learn to speak Italian properly so I was previously looking for italian-speaking hosts who could teach me but that has proven difficult because everyone is too busy so now I want to leave a little of myself around the world in the form of art.
I am skilled in carpentry, metalwork, painting, etc. I am a professional jeweller and a visual artist, I paint awesome murals and signs. I am not seeking big manual jobs (carpentry, etc) at this time because I'm giving my body a rest. I am a parent of four adult children and in Australia I work as a jewellery and a teacher of wood and metal work, and as an art coach. Im also a professionalsinger. Im a fit and healthy 60yo vegan, non smoker and i dont drink but dont let that scare you.

I stayed for two weeks and helped out with basic things like dishes and hanging laundry but my main job was to paint a mural in the hallway using the children's artwork. I had a lovely experience there and Im sure I gained a few kilos from Valeria's great vegan cooking. Other helpers were also there so I got to meet people from Russia,… read more
