Description
Hello there!
I am a french guy and I will travel for 2 months in Italy, starting mid-August. I have been living close to Italy for 4 years now and I only know the basic of Italian language. So the plan is to spend as much time as possible with locals to improve my Italian. :)
I will probably go from place to place by bicycle.
Hope to meet you in my journey!

I spent a year in Chile and another one in the US. I also did volunteer work for 4 weeks in Finland and Croatia helping local people renovating houses and building shelters for bears. I am also an graduated engineer.
Last but not least, last December I got my first workaway experience, as I helped in a permaculture eco-project in Greece.
I may not have such big experience but I am very motivated to do my best to help!

Left by host (Experience Italian life and ...) for Workawayer (Antoine)

It has been a pleasure to host Antoine for almost 3 weeks at my place.

Antoine stayed with us for about a month in January/February.
He is a great guy, serious and conscientious. He helped in the farm and in rebuilding some dry stone walls. He has an excellent command of English.
Wish you good luck with your cycling venture to Mongolia Antoine, you are always welcome back !

I initially went on Milos to stay there 10 days but in the end I stayed about 4 weeks! Pantelis house is located in a very beautiful area, few hundreds meters from the beach with a wonderful view over Milos bay.
