Description
I am Cosimo, I am 25 years old and from Florence. I like being outdoors and spending time in nature, besides traveling, I usually do yoga and meditation.
I am a sporty guy and I love water sports like canoeing and surfing, also I like to build wooden objects with my hands and do construction work.
Until last year I was a surveyor, this year I decided to change because I don't like to do a job that forces me to be locked in the office. I have done many jobs: bricklayer, gardener, lumberjack, painter, window and door fitter and since this year I started teaching SUP (Stand Up Puddle), I really like it because I can make my passion a job.
I have been canoeing kayaking for years and this made me fall in love with water sports, so for the past two years I also started surfing.
Unfortunately where I live the sea and the conditions for surfing are not there, so I decided to travel also to improve in surfing. Last year I had an experience in Malaysia in a water sports school, sometimes I was also given to fix wooden structures and also happened to be a waiter. I got hooked and really liked the people I met in this country, so I decided to have a similar experience again. I love traveling to have the opportunity to meet new people, new cultures and visit new countries!
I am willing to learn anything, I am very interested in what I do and I do it with passion. I put all of myself and all of my effort into what I do.
If you have any questions about my skills, my travels, my experiences or my knowledge, please ask me!
