Description

Hi! My name is Manuel and I am from Rome, Italy.

I am a curious, active and open-minded person who enjoys travelling, learning new things and meeting people from different cultures. Friends usually describe me as reliable, respectful, easy-going and always willing to help.

I joined Workaway because I would like to spend some time in Germany, improve my German and experience everyday life from a local perspective. I believe the best way to learn a language is through real conversations, shared activities and cultural exchange.

I enjoy running, trekking, going to the gym, reading, music and spending time outdoors. I also love good food and would be happy to share some Italian recipes and culture with my hosts.

Professionally, I work in the engineering field, where I have learned to be organised, responsible and comfortable working with different people. I am happy to help with practical tasks around the house, gardening, technology, organisation or any daily activities where an extra pair of hands is useful.

My goal is not only to travel, but to contribute, learn, improve my German and create genuine connections with my hosts.

More details about my language interests
Yes, language learning is one of my main goals. I am currently learning German and would love to practise it in everyday life. My level is still basic, but I am motivated and take weekly lessons. I would be grateful for the opportunity to speak German during my stay, and I am happy to help with Italian as well.

I am not looking only for a place to stay, but for an authentic cultural exchange. I enjoy learning from people with different backgrounds and hearing their stories, experiences and perspectives. For me, the most valuable part of travelling is often the people you meet along the way.
