My next destination:
Italy - from Sep 2026 until Sep 2027 View all -
Description
Many years ago I had some great experiences with workaway, and it's finally time for me to have some more!
I've come back to Italy to see some more of the country, practise the language and help people out along the way! I'm hoping to settle down in Italy permanently (Umbria, specifically), and this feels like the ideal first step.
If a host would be willing to have me for long enough to get my residenza, that would be a huge help! I'd be happy to chat about that stuff in messages before coming, maybe agree to stay for a short while at first to see how things go, etc. -

More details about your skills
I'm an English teacher by trade, so I'd be happy to help you practice
I have a qualification in organic horticulture and plenty of experience working on small scale commercial farms
I'm fairly handy with tools, so I should be able to help if you have some woodwork or metalwork you'd like a hand with
I love cooking; I'll be happy to whip up some authentic Chinese or Indian food for you, or use whatever we have available to turn into a tasty meal
I love animals, and have been around horses for years. Unfortunately I haven't had the chance to ride in a long time so I'm sure I'm very rusty in that regard, but mucking out is a skill you never lose ;) -

The work was diverse, often quite physical, but I reckon Graham assigns people to tasks most suited to them (I was the only workawayer there for quite a while)
