Description
Welcome to my profile!
My name is Franco,
I was born in Argentina and moved to Bologna (Italy) when i was 1.
Since early age, i wasn't very found of schools and jobs...after a couple of years of cooking school, i started travelling and never stopped since.
I have been on workaway for about 8 years, and this experience taught me a lot.
Mostly to appreciate and honor the simple and yet profound jobs that keep the human world spinning.
I volunteered and worked in many farms ( vegetables, goats, chicken, cows and sheep) ,
I worked in construction ( Painting, laying cement and building, wood work and tiny house construction, assembling furniture, electrical system, drilling and plastering)
I worked in Hospitality ( Cooking, Managing a Bnb, Serving tables)
I volunteered as Social and moral support for Charity organizations ( Relieving Homelessness in Scotland for two years, caring for people with disabilities, ptsd, addictions)
I volunteered doing childcare, pets sitting and Caring for the Elderly.
Spiritual process is at the base of my life, as i am committed to growth and transformation every day.
I practice Yoga and deep enquiry into the nature of life.
The literal meaning of my name is to be Honest, and i resonate with that.
I love Thailand and plan to move there next year.
I enjoy various sports and activities ; bodyweight workout, pullups, swimming, hiking , walking around, just chilling , sunbathing, listening to music, Yoga, talking to friends and cooking some good food!
I speak Spanish, Italian and English fluently.
I love meeting new people, feeling the fire in our hearts, diving deep into conversations and experiencing the diversity of life.
I wish all of us could have a laugh together and don't take life too seriously :D
I love food, and enjoy it best if fresh and nutritious.
