Description

Hi everyone! Here is Giovanni from Italy (although currently living in Germany for study reasons). I'm 20 and since years now I've tried to broaden my perspective and understanding of the world through authentic experiences. Until now this was possible only in specific times of the year, as I was mostly occupied with school at home in Italy. Now however I moved out and less things bind me to stay in just one place for long periods of time. Therefore I came back to this wonderful site I had actually discovered a few years ago, and now I'm ready to take part directly in any type of project/ initiative that will let me make new experiences, learn new skills and expecially meet new people, overall enriching my knowledge of the world, as previously mentioned. I like to keep myself busy: while I study and work here in Germany, i always also dedicate time to sports, reading and music. As I travel I also like to have something to do, to have a purpose in the place where i go: this is why i think Workaway is a perfect platform for me, as it makes you go outside of the tourist perspective and into the authentic way of life of the chosen country via the host.

It was really nice having Giovanni stay here. He is a hard worker who tackled every work project with enthusiasm. In time off he really took advantage of the many things you can do and explore around here. Giovanni will also be missed in the kitchen, where he and another volunteer added a freshly made lasagna dish to our Christmas dinner feast for … read more

After 3 weeks here, I really had to stick to my plans and leave, otherwise I would've stayed more! The place is a real paradise for nature lovers and people who like to work with their hands and learn new skills. Although remote, we always found something to do /explore either in the forest or in the many villages around. But the best of all … read more

He is also charming and friendly, getting on well with the other volunteers as well as local people. He picked up skills quickly, and worked on a range of tasks … read more

I was in Horizonts Verts for just over 20 days in April during my semester break, but I wished I could stay longer! Ruth and Peter are really lovely and caring people, easy to work and organise anything with. I and the other volounteers always had everything we needed for working, eating, resting and even free time activities, as they also often … read more
