Description

Hello!

I'm Leo (25), I come from Germany, I have some experience in agriculture and crafts and I would be very happy to live with you for a while and support you in your project!

I am curious to meet new people and learn about their way of living. I also enjoy spending time in nature (e.g. trekking in the mountains) and doing craft work.

I was lucky enough to live on an old farm while I was at school, so I was able to produce and sell pumpkins myself and raise chickens and pigs. Since moving away from the farm to study, I've often come back and done a few crafts, like building new doors or replacing roofs. I enjoy seeing the immediate result of manual work and am always looking forward to acquiring new skills or improving existing ones.
About my studies.. I initially did a bachelor's degree in a combination of electrical engineering (but unfortunately I don't have real practical knowledge of electricity as it was more theoretical) and economics. After that I studied philosophy and some mathematics and art.
I am very interested in cooking and enjoy learning new recipes from others. I love cooking with others for many people, as I often did in the house where I lived with 12 other young people for a few years while I was studying.

I hope we meet sometime!

Best regards!

PS: I'm currently looking at different areas in Italy. Because I plan to buy a property here somewhere and live a self-determined life close to nature. I would be happy to be further inspired on that path by participating in your project.
