Description

I'm a 47-year-old Italian guy currently based on the East Coast of Italy. I'd describe myself as cheerful, thoughtful, sensitive, and sociable, and I value my strong independence. I like to keep my environment clean and tidy, and I always appreciate people who take good care of themselves!.

I have a really extensive CV as a Workaway volunteer! As you can see from my profile, I traveled non-stop throughout Europe from January 2018 to January 2020.

I can't claim to have a particular specialty, but during my workaway experiences, I've helped with painting, gardening, cutting down trees (to create a food forest), moving furniture, and more for example, in France, I created a presentation video for a Buddhist center, handling the filming and editing (using Adobe Premiere Pro) and during my third experience in Denmark, I even took on the role of volunteer coordinator, which involved managing the facility's Workaway profile and suggesting a good social media strategy. Just a heads up, my video editing and social media strategy skills are pretty basic.

Of course, as a true Italian, I enjoy cooking, making simple recipes so I don't spend too much time in the kitchen.

Hobbies & Passions, reading, writing, traveling, walking, trekking, and keeping myself physically fit, even if I am quite thin!

Just ten days spent here, little time, but enough to say that Eddy and Manuela are a welcoming host, people with a good heart, who like life and authentic relationships.
They chose a rural lifestyle (not for fancy volunteers, as Manuela says) and this is what volunteers must understand and respect to share time with them.
Great food, good chats … read more

The month in the small and old village, Cereggio, passed quickly.
Marco and Angela welcomed me with friendship and spontaneous trust, which distinguishes those who have decided to realize a dream: to live a life more within reach of man, far from the confusion of the city and which allows them authentic human relationships. The project is still … read more

It was my eleventh workaway experience in a row.
The summer activities were over and the winter ones still had to start, but this is perhaps what gave me a chance to get to know Don Gianni differently from other volunteers.
I got to know his point of view on society and most of all on the importance of time.
He made me discover Castel del Piano, a … read more

This man radiates peace and calm, takes on any responsibility with great care . In the weeks here, he became a steady part of the team, we knew we wouldn't have to worry in any way.

Good luck on your next experiences, do come back though!

I spent almost a month at this project, for what was my seventh consecutive experience as a Workaway volunteer. The place is surrounded by nature. Domi, Gidi and Vin have clear ideas, good communication and good connection with the volunteers.
Great accommodation, excellent food and good times with lots of relatives, friends in transit and … read more

Lorenzo is a good man to have at your volunteering experience. He’s interested in the bigger picture of what your doing and what your about. This year I’ve not had so many volunteers, the project has somehow changed a little. So I’ve been less involved with volunteers and more with trades people. Lorenzo opened me back up to the idea of … read more

Two weeks pass quickly and it is not always easy to get to know a new host and visit the places around.
But in the old train station and with Jam it can happen.
The old station is a super cool place, surrounded by rolling hills and some lakes, and Jam is an open and attentive host with his volunteers. Furthermore, talking to him is always very … read more

After a month with Abraham, I started with the feeling of leaving a friend and not a host. His peaceful and friendly lifestyle is the best you can hope to receive. His house is magnificent and there are many jobs to do in the garden. I did many of them, but I had time to complete only one project, the river of white stones. Abraham trusts the … read more

Lorenzo became a part of the family and we have a friend for life:seedling: His open and easygoing mentality means he fits in, does what needs to get done and spread good energy. He is a fast learner, respectful, social and has an open heart.

I can highly recommend him in any situation and team - you are lucky to have him around:sunny:

Being able to put a star for each month spent here I would put eight.
As I wrote in the book of volunteers, I could tell many things, but I believe that I can say everything with just one sentence: enter as a stranger and leave as a friend.
So many emotions, comparisons, new skills acquired, but most of all, many new friendships.
There is respect … read more

Lorenzo was one of our first volunteers and such amazing help on the farm. He's punctual, works both well in a team but can also be trusted to work alone. You can 100% expect consistent hard work from him. He helped us planting trees in our food forest, fixing cracks in the water tank, digging trenches for water pipes and clearing burnt trees in … read more

I was one of the first two workaways in the history of the Farm. One of the first two experiments!
Happy to have participated in your life project and I would like one day to come back and see the green and fruitful food forest, the hens to make a lot of eggs and the large and robust olive trees, as well as the small weeping trees.
Good time, good … read more

I spent two weeks at Keith's. He is a great beekeeper, he moves throughout the Norfolk.
I would have to stay for a much longer period, but I did not find myself with his style and his organization of life and work. --TEXT REDACTED-- we left the house at 9:00 am and returned at 6:30 pm.
Despite this, I do not consider this experience as negative. … read more
