Description

Hi there =) I'm Nico and I'm from Italy. I'm currently studying Communication Design in Turin and in October I'll start my third year of University. I think of me as an open minded and sporty person who likes the outdoors, hiking, cycling, Surfing, wood crafting etc.
My main purpose in here is to get to know new people, to do some manual labor and of course try to improve and make my English much better and learn new languages of course.
I'm trying to study Spanish 'cause in the future I'd probably like to move to Spain.
I am very determined when someone gives me a job to complete, and sometimes a bit too much.
I had my first experience last year on a farm in Ireland and I realised that this is what I want from a 'holiday', not just to see new places but to have an impact on people and get to know new stories.

More details about my language interests
Only recently I realised how important it's to know new languages. If you want to make new friends and maintain relationships, you need to know as many languages as possible. I only speak English as a second language so far but I would like to learn Spanish.

More details about your skills

I've been a Boy Scout since I was eight, so I think two skills would be teamwork and problem solving. As I said in the description, I like wood crafting and carving, so I'm able to use the electric saw, sand down machine and other tools.
I'm not a Chef but I find funny cooking and try out new dishes.

What else ...

My last workaway experience in ireland gave me the opportunity to learn a lot about farm life especially about feeding animals. Our daily tasks were cleaning two b&b buses, feeding animals as I've already said and of course other tasks just like fixing fences or tiding up this big shed where we had to chop timbers for two b&b hot tubs fire.
This experience gave me a new perspective in life...
