Description
Hello there!
I'm a 25 year old guy, Italian, I was born and raised in Southern Italy and I moved up to the North of Italy 4 years ago. I'm a very easygoing, thoughtful, kind and slightly shy (at first) guy.
I'm very passionate about traveling, wandering, food and learning languages, even though I speak Italian and pretty fluent English, I can understand Spanish and speak it a bit. I also love music and going to concerts whenever I have a chance I currently work as a goldsmith in a jewelry factory. . I feel like I also need and I would love to do other things in my life such as: developing a stronger bond with nature in general, spending time with animals which I definitely want to get to know more about as well as learning gardening skills.

More details about your skills
Since I've been living on my own for 5 years in total, I am pretty good at doing chores, house cleaning and cooking, I like to experiment with my cooking skills, trying out new foods, how to make things healthier and find out new ways to use some ingredients. I'm a goldsmith which means I also pay attention to details in everything I do without making it a big deal out of it of course.
I speak Italian as I am a native speaker, I am also quite fluent in English and I can understand Spanish and speak it a little bit.
I'm open to teach some Italian if someone needs it or wants it.

I got to spend 2 weeks with Tom, Peter and Nancy during my Christmas holidays and I'm so glad I did. What a great time I had as my first workaway experience.
Tom and Peter are two wonderful men, easygoing, kind, thoughtful, I cannot count how many times they told me to make myself home, always up to help with anything I might've needed as well as… read more talking to me about their amazing country which I fell in love with even more after our time together, they would give me interesting facts about so many things such as: life in a farm, winter in such a cold place like Canada (I'm italian and definitely not used to those temperatures but still it was so cool), their lives' experiences, how was being gay in the past and how inclusive everything is nowadays rather than back in the past, politics, Tom's cooking skills, new (yummy) dishes as well as recipes, how recycling works in Canada (which is something I found interesting and innovative since it's very different from my country). I also enjoyed spending time with Nancy, she's got an unique humour, she likes telling jokes, sharing her life stories over and over again, I loved that, she reminded me a lot of my grandparents who I miss quite a bit so it was very heartwarming getting to spend some time with her, birdwatching, drinking coffee and sitting in front of the woodstove. By the way, helping at first and then starting the fire myself was some of the skills I was expecting to gain but I'm so happy I did, I also learned how to properly pronounce the word "wood" which I found out to be tricky for an Italian guy who hadn't never dealt with fire before haha.
What can I say about the animals? I LOVED spending time in the barn with them, it was my very first time being in a barn and doing any stuff related to it, even if I sometimes felt like it was too cold for me, I'd go there anyway, to get to know better the goats ,who were pretty skeptical at first (fair enough, I was the stranger haha) but then some of them (special mention to Jackal, Ophelia and Venus) would walk towards me every time I get in the barn, so cute! I spent a lot of time hugging, talking and petting the sheep... (Georgina and Lillian will always have a special spot in my heart), I got so attached to them, such sweet living beings.
I could never forget to mention Elmer, the one and only cat that basically begs you for cuddles as soon as you walk in the barn, I have never seen such a sweet and friendly cat.
I also spent some time walking the dogs with Tom. Jedi and Jasper are two loyal and cute dogs and even if Jasper didn't feel like doing anything much but lying on her bed (she's getting old, can't blame her) whenever we'd take them out for a walk, I could see her wild soul, loved it. On the other hand, Jedi and I had some sweet cuddle sessions, that dog stole my heart.
I could probably never explain how special, unique and formative this experience was but all I can say is that I'm very thankful for the time spent over there, I guess this can really be one of the best workaway place to go to, if you're new to all of this and don't know where to start or if you just want to be in nice farm like theirs, well, this is it.
I will be back for sure. ;)

Giovanni stayed with us from midDecember through first week of January. He was our first Workaway from Italy and first one to stay over Christmas & New Years holidays; and we are glad he did. He was wonderful.
From fitting right in with our household routine, and jumping right in to help with anything (even without being asked), Giovanni was… read more
