Description
Welcome to my profile!
My name is Franco,
I was born in Argentina and moved to Bologna (Italy) when i was 1.
I have been on workaway for about 8 years,
I allowed me to partecipate in many sectors , such as :
-Farms ( vegetables, goats, chicken, cows and sheep) ,
-Construction ( Painting, laying cement and building, wood work and tiny house construction, assembling furniture, electrical system, drilling and plastering)
- Hospitality ( Cooking, Managing a Bnb, Serving tables)
- Social and moral support for Charity organizations ( Relieving Homelessness in Scotland for two years, caring for people with disabilities, ptsd, addictions)
- Childcare, pet sitting and Caring for the Elderly.
In my daily life i am interested in :
-Spirituality ( i have been practicing Yoga every day for the last 7 years and i have been through quite some sadhana)
-Sports ( hiking, swimming, body weight workouts, pullups, ping pong)
- Sun bathing ( nothing like a good dose of sun! )
- Cooking ( Italian roots showing up, surely eating and cooking are between my favorite things)
- Finance and trading ( crypto mostly)
- Growing food, being in Nature, hiking mountains or being in the Sea
- I love being social, as much as i am very much a loner at times.
-I love food (currently i am in Thailand so the fruits are amazing) and i enjoy it best when fresh and nutritious
I speak Spanish, Italian and English fluently.
I wish all of us could have a laugh together and don't take life too seriously :D
Love for for everybody 🙏

Franco is a reliable Workawayer. He worked hard, both indoors doing painting work and outdoors in the garden. He did find it quite cold outside :) He is a pleasant person to have in and around the house!

Manon was very hospitable and the dogs are sweet and loving, i enjoyed spending time with her and walking around Almere with Bucky, Lily and Luna.
It was a perfect place to relax and at the same time enjoy some dynamic action helping in the Garden, cooking, walking with the doggies and doing some renovations.
Best Wishes!!

Franco was such a great help - over all expectations!
He got so much done in very short time.
I would have him back any time. Unfortunately he had other commitments and had to leave.
