Description

Hello there,
My name is Dario, 34 y/o, I'm from the North-Eastern corner of Italy, but I work as an arborist in Tübingen, Germany.
In the last 7-8 years I workawayed or variously volunteered in a tiny village in Slovakia, in an hostel in Ecuador, in a Norwegian island and in Austria , at a farm (and I can't help but wonder where I'm bound :)

More details about your skills

I can keep honest counsel, ride, run, mar a curious tale in telling it, and deliver a plain message bluntly. That which ordinary men are fit for, I am qualified in...
Besides all that, in my previous volunteering spells I got some (very basic) crafts such as carving wood, working with tools (saw, angle grinder, scythe...), plastering with clay, gardening a bit, and so on and so forth. My first language is Italian alongside with Furlan which is an endangered dialect very little intelligible for Italian speakers, my English is quite good as my university programme was all-English. Now I'm currently working as an arborist (or tree-climber)
Age

35
What else ...

Major interests: English (language and literature, culture and music), mountains (but any altitude above 100 meters is actually fine), intense physical activity, travelling, experiencing new things, swimming (as long as I keep the delusion I'm good at that. Afterwards not so much), reading et al.

We've had scores of volunteers over the years but Dario would have to be amongst the best! His work ethic is relentless. He has boundless energy and just wants to get on with the job.

His skills as an arborist were valuable to us as he was able to take down five 10 to 15 meter trees for us. Without a harness and only using a 14 inch battery … read more

Creative salads, card games played very earnestly, blue tops, rainforest: those might be the words that best sum up my four week stay with Jo-Ann and David.
David, the maker of the salads, is a very remarkable man with lots of stories from his novel-like life, while Jo-Ann is an inexhaustible source of information about the local wildlife and … read more

I stayed with Linda and Andy only about ten days, but memorable: great hosts, lots of firewood to chop, carry, stack, which is a fine, physical job I love, then painting and helping in the garden.
In my weekend I walked a little, but honestly I just loved staying in the cabin. I had one of the shamelessly laziest Saturdays of my life, watching … read more

Dario was a great Workaway helper and a pleasure to host. He helped us with a wide range of tasks including collecting and stacking firewood, preparing vegetable beds, painting, and general property maintenance. He was flexible and adaptable, especially when wet weather meant plans had to change.

Dario was reliable, incredibly hardworking, and … read more

It was perfect: Suse is such a lovely person, warm and friendly, with plenty of stories to share from her life and travels.
The place is exceptionally beautiful, sea nearby, pademelons everywhere, gum trees, a whole new flora and fauna to me.
As for the work, it wasn't too much, but useful: making and planting posts, filling up garden beds with … read more

I am so happy to have met you Dario. What a fine human you are and you have made a wonderful impression around my little place here in the Far South.
Dario’s skills extend much further than his arborist skills. Plenty of energy, willingness, top work ethics, manners, attention to detail and some very useful additional ideas were splashed around … read more

I spent two beautiful months with Mary Ann and Jack. The little suite that accommodates workawayers is beautiful, so are the surroundings, and of course, they are beautiful people as well. Despite the thousand miles from home I have never once felt homesick, thanks to their human warmth, and the balance of time together and time by myself was just … read more

Dario came to our place at a time when it was rainy and chilly and lots of winter cleanup to do. He was very helpful cleaning up the forested area around the house and managing the burn pile. Very up for anything and everything we suggested! His background in pruning trees came in as he pruned dead and unwanted limbs and trimmed up the kiwis and … read more
