Description
Hey all! My name is John Paul Di Lucca, I come from Idaho in the USA and a large family (I had 7 siblings growing up!). I have been travelling since January. I've helped out at hostels and hotels at both Genova (Italy) and Blackpool (UK). I spend time working receptions, meeting and spending time with the quests, as a well handiwork that ranged from plumbing to painting. I also helped out at a parish where I chaperoned a group of teenagers.

It has been amazing being a part of the culture and family everywhere I stay.

Prior to travel, I have experience teaching English to children as I worked with refugees who were learning the language when I was in high school. I also led a group of teenagers at outdoor summer camps when I was away from college. I enjoy and have the ability to teach and look after children as I have many nieces and nephews!

I also grew up in the country - yard work, taking care of animals, fixing up odds and ends around the house, and using tools were part of my upbringing. I am able and willing to work with my hands!

I love playing all sports (especially soccer and volleyball). I also love to ski and hike. I am also enthusiastic about health of both mind and body! I enjoy studying history as well as philosophy.

JP is a horse of a man. There's no end the the amount of work this man can chew through. Super smart and adaptable when things get busy he was a breeze to work beside, I would go to the trench's with him any day. I look forward to seeing him again in the future. Did we just become bros now? Brah? Friggin wat up dood?

I stayed with Tom in Mayo Abbey for about a month, and I truly believe this is the best Irish experience you could hope for. Tom was amazing - he drove me around the western coast of Ireland, introduced me to his family and friends, and gave me clear expectations regarding the work. The work varied from helping him make smaller baskets, preparing… read more

I spent about a month with Gianni and the community in San Gimignano. This is an absolute MUST for an experience. The work was great and allowed you to be put in the middle of the community.

After J.P.'s departure, during a meeting with the teenagers of the Community, I did a check with them, and when I asked "What was the best surprise of the last period" they all replied "for us the best surprise was J.P."
And that's right, J.P. was a nice surprise, a nice Easter present, a positive presence in our Community, an important worker, a… read more

This was my first Workaway experience and it was fanatastic. The Genoese owners and other volunteers make you feel comfortable from day 1 and they do a fantastic job of helping you become comfortable with the work within a few days. So much more than an experience, the people and atmosphere really make you feel like you live in Genova (an… read more
