Description

Hello!
We are Eszter and Gioele, two people from Italy who would like to do some workaway together this summer, to learn something new, get to experience another territory and have an impact on a community project. We are particularly interested in community living, as we both think it is a way of living that could suit us but have little to no practical experience with it. Eszter has done some workaway before, while for Gioele it's the first time, but we still think that our strength lies in the willingness to learn and work hard more than in the skills we already have. During the year we both study and therefore have little time for manual work, but we are eager to fill this gap during the summer. We know we are a bit late with our search for a community project that could benefit from our presence, but the subscription to workaway is not cheap and it took us some time to get to this point.
If you were wondering, yes, we are in a relationship, but we see it mostly as a really deep and strong human connection than a typical romantic one, this is why we decided to explain it as the last thing. We like to share many things and decided to also experience workaway together, but we also really value independence and therefore we would like to underline that we are willing to connect with the people whom we will meet through workaway as two separate individuals :)
--------------------
I am Gioele, a psychology student who's going to graduate in septermbet. I really like wood and trees and I am slowly starting to grow some little plants in my flat. My mother always had a green thumb and our house is full of many different plants. I am really eager to learn more about agriculture and woodwork, even though I have very little experience! In the city where I study I have been part of some activist groups, mostly concerning gender issues and students' rights. I am a really precise and hardworking person, when I get interested in something I like to dive deep into it and put all of my efforts into it.

I am a person of a few words, but I like to talk with people I get along with, I think that communication is the basis of every good human relationship and I always try to communicate effectively. I don't waste words.
----------------------
My name is Ester or Eszter, as you wish… the first interest I would like to mention is connecting with different people, cultures and ways of interacting with the territory where one lives. This passion
started when I was 11 years old and had the chance to join CISV, an organization that promotes peace and understanding between the cultures. Since then I have been trying to learn a lot of languages because I think that is a good way to connect with people, and also because I enjoy the process itself, in a quite nerdy way :)
Unfortunately I grew up in a city, but I have always loved "nature" (in itself a concept we can discuss), mountains in particular, and I try to spend as much time as I can there. Right now I am attending university in a (bigger) city, but I am pretty tired of the frenetic and stressful rythms in here and I can’t wait to be in touch with nature again. As a teenager I was a scout but, beside that, I unfortunately didn't get much experience in working the fields or in a farm… despite that I have always been eager to learn, ready to work hard and excited to help other people realize their projects. In summer 2023 I had my first Workaway experience and it was wonderful, so I can't wait to start again. I loved working in the garden, even the most repetitive task made me feel satisfied. In short, what I would like to help creating, beside the really important concrete things, is the sense of community which I think (and feel) the “outside world” is lacking.

Not many but ready and willing to learn. I have previously been worked with kids as an educator and babysitter.

What else ...

I unfortunately have a phobia of birds but I am working on it and it would only be a problem if I had to share an indoor space with free brids
