Description
Hello World nice to meet you my name is Raffa. Borned in Roma in 1976 from Swiss Italian parents.

I work since I'm 17 doing many different jobs in different countries where I learned cultures, skills and languages.

I am a cheerful friendly person who is respectfull about life, relationships and work. Honest, transparent and open minded.

What I really love is: nature and natural life, good people, animals, diy, music, arts, creativity, playing sports and games, meditation, cooking, photography and video making, study, learn, grow, discover and many other things.

I'm a good soul I really like to help and I would like to get in touch with people with similar attitude :)

I normaly vape e-cigarets but if in your country is forbidden I might probably smoke sometimes. Obviously only where it will not disturb you.

Raffaele is everything he said he was- communicative, enthusiastic, skilled and good timekeeper :) I'd like more workawayers like him to come and visit. It was a pleasure to work and live with him for a while. He took excellent pics of our house with a drone. He worked hard and really appreciated Polish cuisine :) We're very grateful for his visit!
