Description

Hi, I'm Mattia. I'm italian and I live in a small city called Modena (where Ferrari was made!).

I just got my bachelor degree in computer engineering. However in my future I don't want informatics at all. In the past two years my awareness of the problems, contradictions and nonsenses of society have grown esponentially and I reached a point where I can't stand anymore living fully inside it. I can't stand anymore that everything I do have bad, hidden repercussions on other people or nature. That's why I need to run away to see other ways of living, where nature is respected and lived, where people care about who you are and not how you look. And workaway is the best bridge I know for discovering very different realities.

Being more practical, I'm a young guy who have had since now a pretty "normal" life, but I really think I don't fit anymore in it. I want to live in a simpler way and maybe dedicate my life to the fight against climate change and to share a more sustainable way of living. I really like (the idea of) community life, and I think it's the key to a more respectful (and happy) lifestyle.

With workaway I would like to live experiences that introduce me to the world of sustainable communities/project, and challenge myself into live a different lifestyle .
In particular I would like to learn more about permaculture. About that, I have almost no practical experience, but I have a good theorical knowledge about biodiversity and problems of monocultures.

I'm a smiley person, I aim to be respectful and caring of other people needs and I have a very good adaptability to new situations. I'm an extrovert person, I like to talk and I'm a VERY curious person. I love sports, board and card games. I love music and I love dancing.

I've done two workaways, one in a small greek island, Samothraki, and the other in Ouarzazate, Morocco. They have been very challenging (in a good way), and I learnt a lot from them.
I'm looking forward to a new, unique experience!!
