Description
Hi all,
My name is Guilherme, 27, Italian-Brazilian. At the end of 2019, I moved to Europe, aiming to speed up my career. Before going full focus on work, I decided to spend some time experiencing life on 2 Italian farms through Workaway.
I had the opportunity to experience the everyday life of a farm located in the Pizzo Cane nature reserve, in Sicily. The main business of the farm is breeding cattle (for organic meat) and olives for oil (self-consumption). My main tasks were help in the vegetable garden, built a tropical garden, olive picking, repaired fences, picked up the cows on the field for veterinarian checks, reformed rooms, and the cherry on the cake was repairing a burned roof on a very old brick pizza oven, and we celebrated doing our own pizza.
Currently, I am travelling around America for about half a year and looking for a great experience to enrich my experience here before heading back to Europe.
I am a very easy-going and respectful people, who does not mind getting his hands dirty. I like meeting new people and sharing stories, but also enjoy my privacy/solitude. In my free time we enjoy cooking and eating good food, hanging out with family and friends and going on adventures.
Feel free to reach out for any questions :)Interests
