Description
Hello!!
I'm Alessandro, from Brazil.
I grew up in the countryside, close to nature, animals, and a simple way of life, where I learned the value of simplicity, silence, and the wisdom of nature.
Traveling has become both an outer and inner journey—learning to live with more purpose, compassion, and presence.
After great Workaway experiences in Europe, where I discovered how valuable cultural exchange and volunteering can be, I am now exploring South America, open to learning, helping, sharing, and connecting with people, nature, and inspiring ways of living.
I believe that every place and every person has something to teach.
I enjoy exploring new places, experiencing different lifestyles, and spending time in nature—through hiking, camping, cycling, swimming, or just enjoying the landscape.
I’m also passionate about meditation, yoga, philosophy, and spiritual paths that guide us back to inner peace, awareness, and reconnection with something greater.

More details about your skills
Because I grew up and lived in rural areas, I have experience with gardening, farming, beekeeping, painting, taking care of animals, and growing fruits and vegetables. I’m used to working with nature and simple living.
I’m flexible, organized, and I enjoy contributing in different areas—supporting general projects both indoors and outdoors.
I work well independently, but I also value teamwork, cooperation, and learning from others.
What else ...
I like to engage in projects that promote connection—with nature, people, and purpose—such as organic farming, local families, permaculture, eco-housing, conservation, cultural exchange, and susstainable living initiatives.
I’m open to learning through practical experiences that allow me to grow personally, exploring more ecological, spiritual, and sustainable ways of living.
My wish is to eventually live in harmony with nature, practicing sustainability, guided by awareness and meaningful values.

He came two days before Covid 19 lock down in March. We could not have experienced a better person to be with us until July 1. We will miss him terribly and wish him continued safe traveling and good health. He is a quiet, helpful, hard working, neat and kind person.
