Description

Hi,
my name is Paolo, I'm 42 years old, from Italy. I'm a musician, guitar player and music teacher. Aside my main job I always did a lot of other works such as gardener, cook assistant, waiter, driver etc.
In 2021 I decided to take an year off from teaching, in order to travel and learn English. So I started my adventure as workawayer in a Animal Sanctuary in Enfield, Ireland. In that Sanctuary, I had such a great experience that I decided to stay in Ireland the whole year off.
I travelled all around Ireland from Cork to Galway and Dublin where I spent six months there. I did a lot of jobs, from guitar teacher to kitchen porter and cleaner in a hospital.
I left Dublin in May 2022 to go to Andros (Greece),where I spended the whole summer. My role there was helping the owner in the management of the hostel, gardening and doing jobs around the house. Really significant experience.

After a short experience as a workawayer in Bilbao at Christmas 2024, I decided to take another year off, to learn Spanish and get in touch with Spanish culture.
And so in October 2024 I moved to beautiful Valencia, where I live and work as kitchen porter in a Pizzeria.

It's the right place when you need to reflect before starting over. The peace among the olive trees, the fire, the river, the hills... ...Amaranta offers everything else, and does so with the sincere discretion of someone who has long been accustomed to hosting: good food, company, open spaces, work in and for nature, and then many anecdotes about … read more

Paolo was a lovely presence to have around on the land! He was eager to learn new skills, helped me immensely with the intense pruning I had to finish just when he was around, and hearing him playing the guitar in the relaxed afternoons... whell, that was the best gift!

(Very good )

Paolo came to stay with us for a month. Initially he was going to come for 2 weeks but we were very happy to have him for a longer time!
