Description

I am Italian, very enthusiastic, dynamic, entrepreneurial, highly motivated, used to working both in a team and alone. I have an administrative and commercial background, but I like to do manual activities too. During 2018, I spent 5 months in Norway (Tromsø og Lofoten) being a Cruise Guide for a local company. Last year, 2019, I have helped Norwegian families in:
-Hardanger: apples farm activities, from collecting fruits, to squeezing apples, to cut-down trees and so on;
-Nord-Trøndelag: a family with 2 young girls and some animals (horses, lamas, chickens, rabbits, etc);
-Hedmark (and 2020): a farm with a cattle of 100 sheep.
-Trondheim area (July-August 2020): helper at a goat farm, helper with animals, sawing a lot of wood;
-South Oslo; Sept. to Nov 2020: cleaning a wide bush area, outside painting (house and horse barn)
I can communicate in English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and some basic Norwegian.

More details about your skills

Starting from my youth I have enjoyed to learn a variety of things. At home I used to help my father with animals (chickens, rabbits) and with the field (growing vegetables), but during summer holidays (or week-ends) I helped my uncle while he was building up a new house. It was a way to get a knowledge in a variety fields (bricklayer, painter, electrician, plumber, etc.)
Then, I have worked for many years at local companies (and almost twenty years as Export Manager) and the thing I loved was to deal with people from all over the world.
