More details about your skills
I have been training as a woodworker (mainly furniture, but also a little broader in my making). After those five years living alone and working flat out I want to go out and live a little.
Skills are building/ making. Generally hands on work I tend to pick up quickly if it’s new to me.
Currently finishing a Tefl course to teach English as a foreign language. A language/ culture exchange would be excellent (voglio migliorare mio Italiano, e imparo la cucina d’Italia)

Interested in expanding my skill set and up for all sorts of work if possible!

The area they are based in is stunningly beautiful, the locals are welcoming and there are many villages and towns around to explore. The work is engaging, and Alex really builds a great team vibe, plus the olive oil produced is delicious!

Tom stayed with us for a bit more than 3 weeks and became an integral part of our team, bringing a steady and calm presence to our work environment.
