Description

Hello hosts and fellow travellers!

I’m Luca, an Italian who grew up in Germany and have recently moved back to Italy full-time after several years of studying Geography.

I reactivated my Workaway profile because I am now looking for meaningful longer-term experiences where I can contribute practical skills, learn from local life, and be part of projects that value sustainability, community, nature, and creativity.

Before and alongside my studies, I worked in IT support, and for fun I did some local tour guiding in my city and the surrounding areas. That’s what I’m planning to do in the future; I enjoy sharing knowledge where it’s welcomed, helping people feel welcome in a new place, and exchanging languages and perspectives.
During my studies, I focused particularly on the relationship between people and their surroundings, focusing on water use and environmental issues.

I am open-minded, respectful, reliable, spontaneous and used to living with many different people and backgrounds. I value everyone’s personal space, but I also enjoy shared meals, conversations around a campfire, good music and discovering new places together.

I would be happy to support a project for several weeks or longer, depending on the fit.

More details about your skills

I enjoy practical work and improving things. I have experience with gardening in both warm and cold climates, including caring for houseplants and herb gardens, building greenhouses and raised beds, and working with fruit trees.
I know how to prun trees and prepare firewood, both by hand and using machinery.

Besides gardening, I have a lot of woodworking and building experiences including van conversions, furniture, pizza ovens, carports, garden sheds, chicken coops, fences, and garden projects. I can also help with drywall, paving stones, light renovation work, and practical maintenance.
I am not a certified tradesperson, but I am confident, careful, hands-on, and able to learn quickly.
I enjoy being active and improving things.

I am comfortable caring for animals, especially chickens & sheep, and I have experience training and handling dogs. At the same time, I would love to learn more about farm life, animal care, and sustainable ways of living and working with the land.

Through my Geography studies, I also developed an understanding of environmental issues, landscapes, water use, and the connections between communities and their physical surroundings. I enjoy sharing this interest where it is useful, while remaining curious and ready to learn from local knowledge.
Age

29
What else ...

I travel with my own car, which can be useful for reaching projects in rural areas and gives me some independence during my free time :)

In my free time, I enjoy crafting, photography, editing, reading, listen to all kind of music, cooking, exploring new places and having good conversations.
I am looking forward to meeting people, contributing seriously to a project, and becoming part of daily life rather than simply passing through.

Without question, Martin and Alex are masters of Workaway. The pair is always good-humoured and create good memories around interesting discussions and a few beers after a day's work.

We had the pleasure of hosting Luca for the short but sweet stint of two weeks. Luca was here at our busiest time and slotted into our system seamlessly. Kind, gentle and intelligent would be the words that spring to mind when thinking of Luca. We were lucky enough to get a taste for his workworking skills when he did some repairs to our hen … read more

What can I say here that hasn’t already been said? Fintan, Liefe and family are great Workaway hosts and I was lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them. Like many others saying here, I was heartly welcomed from day one!

I first connected with Thomas about doing some custom work for his camper van. Though as bad luck would have it, the gearbox died on day two, stopping what I thought my time here would be like. But as good luck would have it, on their farm, there is sooo much going on, so I quickly focused on more interesting DIY projects and landscaping.

In the … read more

Luca è un angelo non un workaway, è un raagazzogentile, educato, sensibile e affidabile.
Mi ha aiutata con tanta pazienza e calma in un momento difficile del mio progetto, dove ci sono state veramente tante cose da fare e da parte mia anche momenti di stress e tensione ma avere vicino la presenza di Luca e Ben un altro "angelo" workaway, mi sono … read more

I can only say the best for the five-week opportunity beginning in march I had to be a part of Elena’s creative and free-spirited community on top of Cava Grande. On the first day I arrived, we were welcomed by Elena and a local “giocoleria” group. Elena’s home in the mountains serves as a quiet refuge in nature and as a colourful cultural centre … read more

Chiara’s summer house rests on the edge of the Calabrian coastline, inviting the warm mediterranean sea right to her doorstep. As she described the atmosphere is warm and relaxed. Perfect for recharging my soul, and to take a momentary break from the hectic world of backpacking, as it can be sometimes.

In the three weeks, I spent here, I got to … read more

What can I say about Francesca’s beautiful farm and home that hasn’t already been said? It’s no secret that when it comes to Workaway, Francesca is a veteran who knows how to make you feel valued, and taken care of.

I'm glad to have been with Antonio and Marcello for a month of rewarding work and refuge. Both are warm, helpful and caring souls. In light of this years difficulties for travellers due to corona Antonio and Marcello could not have been more accommodating from the beginning.

We were so lucky to host Luca for almost 2 months and we already miss him. The main work he did here was to build a secured yard for our chickens. The result is FABULOUS. It's seems done by professionals. He took care of every details and put so much energy! Luca is really good with handy work. We think he can do everything.
He also built a … read more
