Travel information

I am currently

Activities i am interested in:

I see myself as a serene person and a life long learner. I had a long and fulfilling career. I recently retired. I would now travel, learn new languages, experience new cultures and meet new people.

Description

I recently retired and have now more time for my projects.
Since I love meeting new people, especially different cultures, I decided to restart travelling.
The idea of Workaway seems to me the right way to live somewhere for a while and meet people or communities I would never meet on simple holidays.
I am practical, reliable and precise, but also easygoing and enjoy learning new things.
I eat healthily and simply.
I live in a small village 40 km far from Turin, a city famous for its baroque. Near home a lake and possibilities of hiking on hills or mountains. In few hous by train I can reach the most importan cities of northern and central Italy.
At home you will meet a small old dachshund.
Please feel free to ask questions.
