Description
Hellooo! I'm Riccardo, I like to travel and here I am on workaway!

I always wanted to live by travelling, since I was 17, I wanted to live in an ecovillage. At the age of 25, I finally did it! Well, just for a month, but it has been fun and exciting. In 2025 I've been around Denmark in various stays, I had a great time. I've also been workawaying in Rome, a city that I love so much. But the travel instinct won, so I'm looking for a new place to stay.

My passion is writing. I do it since I'm 14, I've written some books already, but you know, getting into the industry is a whole job itself. I don't mind, because I write for giving meaning to my life. My imagination is so high I can write anything without a break... It can hurt!

I also love making music, in facts I write songs and one of my wet dreams is to have a band and jam. I've been jamming sometimes and it's always been an absolute trip. Especially because things always go better than expected! So life!

My programs are to get into university, run my company and be on top. I know I can do it because I'm bright.

I've been working a normal customer service job, but I grew so fed up I had to leave to explore the world. I want to build a balance between periods of working and periods of workawaying.

I love having clever conversations; playing board games, card games, videogames, old-fashioned games (I easily make friends with kids and play with them); I've been doing theater through the years so I can give you free lessons within the exchange.

I'm going to go to a lot of concerts in 2026 Summer in Italy, now I have to find my hosts!

Thanks for reading me, see you.

Riccardo and Angelina are super sweet people and are curious, eager to learn and always does their best to fulfill the demands. It has been a special experience to meet them.

We have been to Nikolaj's for one month, 21/Jan-23/Feb '25. It was our first workaway. We quit our jobs to start living by travelling. We are grateful we met such people. Always helpful, friendly, calm. Quick answers on whatsapp when you needed some assistance or giving informations. We never had any problem, all things run smoothly. People in… read more Friland are a dream that came true. It is not just volunteering in host's house. It is a whole experience in an alternative society of people committed to pollute as less as possible. Nikolaj and Lajla have taught us things we've never done before, always with kindness, patience and sense of humour. A lot of humour. We have laughed every day when together. We felt the cultural exchange. Not just about skills and tasks, but a philosophy of life. We learnt that it's possible. Just do it and it will get real. If you are looking for a great host, just text them. Their flexibility is amazing. You could work however you wanted. The only thing that mattered about the tasks was to work the agreed hours (and doing it good obviously, but they never pushed on being excellent). The vibe was more like "We appreciate any help". We have happily worked with all our commitment, because building an eco-house is a job with meaning. It is something that improves the world we're in. Not only about building, we have helped in the ice cream shop. Angelina preferred to help on cleaning and cooking and it went good. You can help in many ways. Sometimes we worked more one day, less another day, by our choice. One of us had felt sick for a couple of days, and Nikolaj accounted that time as an actual sickness from work, like a true professional. Even though there isn't any formal contract, your rights are respected. It is not obvious in the world we live in. They didn't ask us to work more on any given day. They truly believe in what they do. We admire their humbleness. It is so important that people trust each other. This is the most important lesson from this experience. Their kids are so lovely. Their cat too. It's so easy to miss this family once you leave. We together have finished the first room of the house. Even though it's not ours, still it feels so a bit, because we built it together. When you're in Friland, you can develop a sense of belonging. Especially if you join communitt activities.
The most important thing is that we felt both safe and free.
All the spots in Friland are taken, so you may only come back as a guest, or a volunteer. Which we would really love to do. Hoping next hosts we will have could be like Nikolaj and family. Thank you so much for this wholesome experience.
A hug,

Riccardo and Angelina
