Description
**Travel update - Currently travelling the North Island of New Zealand**
Hello! I am an Italian guy and I have been travelling away from my home country for a few years: Europe, South East Asia, Australia, New Zealand.
I am very curious and I find delight in discovering new things about the world that surrounds me, about the people I connect with and about myself.
I find as much pleasure in learning as I find in teaching, I love working with a group or zooming in on individual personal projects. I am very observant and I strive to keep expanding my awareness.Interests

More details about your skills
I have a long time experience in the hospitality sector. This makes me both a good host and a good guest, able to set an atmosphere of comfort and openness in most social settings.
I studied accounting which gave me a good understanding of how finances, economics and laws work together.
I learned as a hobby how computers work inside and out, and I have a solid base of skills in dealing with electrical circuits.
I grew up a lot in the countryside and I was able to witness the cycles of nature and to care for plants and gardens and animals in functional ways.
I always have been fascinated with other cultures than mine, so I learned to speak and write in three more languages.
Above all, my parents taught me to use my own critical thinking, so I can listen, observe, learn, act and ask for help when needed.Languages
Languages spoken

English: Fluent
Spanish: FluentMore details about my language interests
I am Italian native speaker and a passion for reading helped me build a rock solid grammar basis. My mother introduced me to the English language and the exposure to the internet did the rest. I learnt Spanish only because it felt natural, as Italian is extremely similar. I lived in Germany for almost three years and with the help of lots of friends I went from non-speaker to fluent practiser.Age

We wish everyone to have such a wonderful workaway.
