Description
Hi, I'm Matteo, a quiet but open person with a lot of energy. I enjoy silence in the middle of nature, but at the same time I love long walks, parties, yoga, sports, and I have no problem with physical work.

I spent time in several workaways across Spain with different families, where I had fantastic experiences. Then I moved to Portugal, where I lived for about six months in an ecovillage that truly changed my vision of the world and taught me a completely different way of living. After that, I worked two seasons in mountain refuges, where I learned a lot about hospitality, working with the public, and handling bar and cash register duties.

This is my second time in Asia. Since the first time I've been diving deeper into the things I'm passionate about, like yoga, meditation, permaculture and natural building. I did my 200-hour yoga teacher training and got to work on some bio-construction projects, which I really loved and want to keep exploring.

I'm a curious person who loves starting new projects and adventures. I tend to reflect a lot before making decisions, but I'm learning to be more present and just go for it without overthinking everything.

I studied eco-building and right now I'm looking to deepen my understanding of sustainable living, learn new natural building techniques, and discover local traditional ways of living in harmony with the environment. I want to learn from different cultures, exchange skills, and keep growing, both personally and practically.

I'm ready to get my hands dirty.

More details about your skills
I studied as a surveyor and then I followed a green building course, I worked for a public building construction company and a wooden construction company, so I have technical and somewhat practical knowledge in the construction sector.
During my studies I did more practical jobs such as car washing and refueling and food delivery. In these jobs I learned to organize myself to manage the times to complete all the jobs.
In my family, among the various cousins, I am the oldest so I have always had to deal with the little ones and I have always enjoyed organizing games between us, at home I also help a lot in the field of technology, my mother who is more of a nature lover and often needs help with the pc, and i also help my dad with garden and trees maintenance.
Age
27
What else ...
I would like to start this kind of new experience because I am a lover of adventure and nature, so I would like to explore new places and have new experiences, but above all I am attracted by other cultures so I think it is the best way to know and enjoy another way of live and enjoy life.

I'm studying the markets to be able to work in the future without location constraints to be able to work anywhere with a PC, this does not yet make me financially free and this type of project would allow me to have time to carry on my studies and be able to see the world.

It was a fantastic experience, Pure explained a lot of things about permaculture and building with bamboo. The food was delicious and plentiful every day, fresh fruit and vegetables. We did a lot of excursions and city tours with Pure, we never get bored in the farm. Thanks again for this experience.

After 5 different workaway experience around Spain, this one was the first where I asked to stay 1 moth instead 2 weeks after the first 2 weeks, normally i like to change place after a bit but here i felt a different connection with Andre, Juni and Zoe.

Hosting Matteo was an absolute pleasure. He stayed with us for one month but he could have stayed forever. Our daughter loved him like an uncle and we appreciated all he did to move our project along. He jumped into the work with confidence and shared his expertise enthusiastically. He was so easygoing and observant. Without much explanation, he… read more

I really enjoyed having Matteo stay. He was very obliged to help in every way.
He happily did garden weeding and we had some great conversations. His English is pretty good. He did a great job of painting a metal door with me. He was polite and courteous to be around and good company. We welcome him back and recommended him to others.

I stayed with Julie two fantastic weeks, the experience was very productive to me because she explained me a lot of little tricks for doing the different jobs easier and faster, but also because we talk a lot about our world and the current situation and we shared our knowledge about what's going on around the globe.
The food was amazing every… read more

I stayed with Jeanny for two weeks in July we decided together to work in the morning for work with a better temperature, there was a lot of different type of work to do correlated with the garden, the pool and the dogs, and I could decide what to do based on the time and jobs that felt right for me. She was very kind, every day we took a break… read more

Matteo stayed two weeks at my place. He helped me really a lot with gardening, painting a cupboard and together we made many walks with the dogs. Matteo is a polite, friendly and a hard working guy, easy to have. I can sure recommend him to other hosts.
Thank you Matteo and enjoy your time in Spain!

We had the pleasure of hosting Matteo from the province of Venice as a Workawayer, and we couldn't have been happier with his stay. Matteo is not only a skilled worker but also a good cook. We had a delicious pasta dish with tunafish. One dish we still have to try is the orecchiette pasta.

Matteo's work ethic is good. He tackled various tasks… read more

You can’t get a better workawayer than Matteo! Super friendly guy and incredibly hard working. He was great at collaborating with others, but also could get on with work on his own. Great stories, great energy and all around great vibes. Thanks Matteo!

This was my first workaway experience and was more crazy and unique that I could imagine, for me it was like staying with my friends because we spent a lot of time together enjoying the sunset and the town. They allowed me to spend two weekends in their place in Barcelona, and they trusted me from the first moment, I think for the great connection… read more
