Description
I am an honest and responsible person with the good fortune of having had many life and work experiences. But really eager to have more and to meet and get to know new people and new cultures. I'm also aware that never before is it important to get involved.
I have a degree, I speak English well and fairly German and French, I teach law and economics in high schools in Milan and I have been teaching Italian for foreigners for several years. My second passion is nature, rural life, work in agriculture, being able to give help where it is needed.

More details about your skills
My main skills are teaching and staying with young people. I am a Law and Economics teacher in Italian public school and I have also taught Italian language for stranger students at the Politecnico University of Milan, to private workers in some companies, with private lessons for foreigners. Actually, I am a tenured Law and Economics teacher in an a Public Secondary School in Savona and I'm living in Celle Ligure (Liguria).
My second area of expertise concerns agriculture, peasant life, help in the management of farmhouses, simple Italian cuisine: skills that I have refined in the past years, especially during the summer seasons; sometimes as a volunteer, others as a paid worker, in different rural places: from some farms in the Italian countryside, to high mountain refuges where I have worked as a cook. I am also a Woofer since many years and I had some nice experiences, around the Italian farms (Liguria, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Toscana).
My chronological age really does not correspond to my physical, mental and spiritual age, which is actually much closer to that of my nephew, who is a bold and very lively twenty year old. :-)
