Description

Hi :)
I am Patrick, a positive 31 yo guy from Italy. I love working on improving myself, helping others, playing music, being in the nature and traveling as a way to meet new people, culture and way of living.

That's why, till now, I had many different lives :) I have been a student of architecture, a street artist, a traveler for almost 4 years around Europe, a mason, an architect. I have left my job few years ago and realized one of my dreams, which was to live in Australia for at least one year.

I love to give back (my philosophy is: the more that I give, the more I've got to give), to help people realize their projects/dreams and I don't mind hard work.

This is gonna be my first experience with Workaway, and hope it will be amazing!
Maybe thanks to you :)

More details about your skills

I have plenty of skills to list.

SOFT SKILLS:
I am an architect, but at the moment I left my job to try a big shot at becoming a digital entrepreneur.
I can make 3D projects of houses, treehouses and anything else. I know how to create a website, I know how to use Photoshop, Illustrator and many other programs.
I speak 4 languages (Italian C2, English B2, Spanish B2, French B1).
I have a creative mind, I love to create games with kids and experiment new ways to do the normal things.

HANDWORK:
I grew up in a house with a big garden in the countryside and I had care of it since I was a kid, so I know well how to garden and all about the general maintenance of the house.
Since I was very young I always loved handwork, woodwork and building.
I recently worked for 7 months on renovating an apartment, from designing it, building the floor and walls, realizing the electric system, to painting and furnishing (you can have a look at the results here: https://www.airbnb.it/rooms/50375998)
I have been traveling around Europe by van for almost 4 years, so I learned how to fix it (I even had to learn and change a gear box by myself) and to deal well with problem solving.
I have been living by my own since I was 19yo, so I am able to cook, to clean, to make laundry and all the necessary things about living.

ART AND PASSION:
I play drums and percussions since I was 12yo.
I have been playing street drums on the street for almost 4 years traveling around Europe.
Right now my favorite instruments are Djembé, Percussions and Hangpan, and I know I can make up to 100+ people dancing.
I love to spend time with kids and pets. I don't have kids, but I had a beautiful dog for almost 4 years.
I like to slackline, run and hike in nature.
