Description
Hello, my name is Adriano
I am 22 years old, from Florence, Italy.
I studied Biological Sciences at the University for a maximum of 2 years.
I'm half Italian and half Czech, then I speak Italian and Czech and some English

The reason why I'm here is the simple fact that i would like to do something practical, improve my English, travel the world and discover new things such as new people, new cultures, habits, ways of thinking, points of view and also new languages.

I have always dreamed of being able to explore the world to discover new places, new cultures, new people, different customs, different points of view on life and different ways of doing things in the world.

By nature I am a free spirit, openminded and carefree. I love risk and adrenaline sports like Bungee Jumping and all the activities in which I can challenge myself and my fears.

I think the best things in life are the simple things, the little things that fill you up and that will remain forever and leave their mark on you. A beautiful view of nature, like a sunset or a starry sky in the night in the forest, near the sea or in the desert, with a beer in hand and a bonfire in front of me, this is happiness for me.

In my free time, besides going out with my friends, I like visiting the Natural Parks with my dog, sleeping in a tent, reading a book or meditating. My dog is a long-haired dachshund called Elvis (like the famous singer), it's like me, when he's home he's bored and tired, while when he's in nature he's happy and full of energy.

Moreover, I do not necessarily believe in any god, I feel the cause and the architect of everything that happens in my life, I am convinced that the divinity resides in our Soul and that it already knows what our path is. My goal is precisely to find it again by traveling and living so much experiences in life to become better and better as not to regret it in the future.

Honestly I do not know well agriculture and gardening but I am a boy who learns quickly and I would be very happy and grateful to learn something new :)

this is my first time that I subscribe to the site and what motivated me to do it, it was my collaborator of the trip that I conducted in Indonesia, which advised me.

When i was young i helped my Grandfather to take care of the Animals of his Ranch and his Farm. I took care of the sheep, ducks, deer, fawns and horses. He even taught me how to drive a tractor.

In my life I had little way of doing work experience: I delivered flyers in Florence and I worked in a factory in Czech Republic.

For the rest, i'm able to do any type of gardening work and everything related to the outside of the home and even the inside a little. I'm also quick to learn, so if there's more to do I'm happy to get to work.

I also know how to use the computer well, both Windows and Apple.
finally i have a driving license and almost a good knowledge of English language

Left by Workawayer (Adriano) for host for (Looking for help in nature on ...)

I stayed for a week at Antonio’s house with my friend Kensuke. It was a short but very pleasant experience. At first I felt a little bit disoriented but I got quickly used to it easily.

WORK:

We helped with organizing stuff for public reunions, we cleaned the dishes and cleaned up the place for the kids that stayed at the house in the weekend.… read more We also hopped the dirt around the Eukalyptus trees in the fields to keep them straight and to make them grow properly and helped with other little things around the house like pruning some plants and move some things.

The work wasn’t so hard or too much, It consisted of only 4 hours a day (more or less) in the morning, so we had the rest of the day completely free for chilling. I can’t really complain about anything cause we had everything we needed every day. Food was provided for free by Antonio, if we wanted to buy something in the supermarket Antonio was always available to bring us up there, ….

FREE TIME:

In the free time we swam in the lake, played football, pet the dogs, read books, cooked some delicious meals such as Sushi, Curry with rice, Vegetarian Curry with rice, Vegetarian Falafel and Pizza cooked in dedicated fireplace. We passed some of the evenings in front of the campfire near the lake, listening to music, talking and drinking alcohol. We did also the outdoor Sauna which is a dome made of plastic inside which are being put on some hot stones and in which then water is thrown to create the heat.

The place where we lived is complete of everything you need, keep in mind that keeping the house clean is a task for workawayers, so you gonna have to switch the cleaning and cooking jobs to have a pleasant stay.

Antonio was very nice and kind to us, he took us one day to a soccer field to play football and at the end, when we had to leave, he offered to taking us to Coruche so we could then take the Bus to Lisbon.

The people I’ve met have all been nice and amazing, it’s always interesting to meet new people different from usual. That is what I love in Workaway experiences: Everyone comes from a different part of the world , Everyone comes with a plan in mind, other just come to find a plan or to find a purpose of life, but everyone are sharing together the same experience and there can most likely start a great friendship or you can also find the love. This shows how small the world is and how many beautiful people still can be found in this world.

Thank you Antonio and Branca for everything!
See you next time hopefully, if the Coronavirus would let me ;)

Left by host (Enjoy island life and help on ...) for Workawayer (Adriano)

Adriano worked hard and efficiently at whatever jobs we asked of him. He was very fast at completing them and then was asking for more.

In spite of an unusually rainy time (it is usually clear and dry at this time of year) we still got many jobs done.

He organized and chopped and split firewood and made kindling. He moved a pile of soil to the… read more

This was the 3d Workaway experience I did in Canada, the most lovely and peaceful one!

I can’t believe how kind people can be here in Canada, mostly when you go in the little islands.
Galiano Island is a very beautiful little paradise. When I went there i was surprised by the simplicity of the place and by the little wooden houses they have, in… read more

Hi to everyone!
At first I would be glad to say that it was my first Workaway experience and I’m really surprised and happy that I had the opportunity to stay in Matt’s house. I’ve been on his farm for a month and a half and during this time spent here I learnt a lot of things and met a lot of amazing people.

The farm is located in the… read more
