  • Description

    Hello, wonderful Workaway community! I'm a spirited adventurer with a tool belt of diverse skills and a heart full of stories. As an architect and carpenter, I blend creativity with precision, whether I'm designing structures or crafting furniture. I'm also a pastry chef and chocolatier, passions ignited in the kitchen of my beloved grandmother.

    My dream? To cultivate a self-sustainable farm, a tribute to my cherished childhood on a farm, where peace and nature were my closest companions. Imagine a place where architecture, nature, and gastronomy dance together – that's the dream I'm building towards. My project is located in Ligurian Alps in Italy where I’ve been a co-host to many workaway volunteers over the years.

    I'm a story collector, eagerly seeking tales from every corner of the world. My grandfather, a true hero in overalls, taught me more than just farming – he showed me the art of listening and the power of respect. His lessons fuel my passion for community development and my knack for turning strangers into friends over a shared meal. Community development holds a special place in my heart, deeply rooted in the cherished memories of watching my grandfather use his charisma to bring people together. His ability to weave individual strengths into a cohesive community taught me the transformative power of unity. I believe that maintaining close ties within a community lays the groundwork for profound, broader change. It's through these strong, interconnected relationships that we can ignite collective action, driving positive change not just within our localities but across the globe. For me, community development is more than a concept; it's a pathway to changing the world, one community at a time, inspired by the legacy of togetherness my grandfather championed.

    Joining Workaway, I'm not just looking for places to visit; I'm seeking experiences to cherish, communities to befriend, and memories to savor. With a hammer in one hand and a whisk in the other, I'm ready to dive into projects, from building eco-friendly structures to hosting the sweetest chocolate workshops.

    So, if you're looking for someone who can construct a greenhouse, bake a mean chocolate cake, and share laughs along the way, I'm your person. Together, let's create, build, bake, and make unforgettable stories! Can't wait to meet, learn from, and work alongside all of you!
