  • Description

    Hello! my name is Mauro, I was born in southern Argentina, more precisely in Patagonia (Spanish is my mother tongue). I am an extremely sociable, happy and fun person. I enjoy living, working and traveling as a team (yes, "living as a team"). I like children and animals.
    I lived in the city of Cordoba(Argentina) for almost 10 years, while studying at the university. and 7 years ago I started traveling around the world.
    In my country I earned a living as a teacher of physics and mathematics, while I finished my studies as an electronic engineer. And when I finished my career, I put my academic life on pause and started traveling. And during my travels I worked as a cook, farmer, gardener, painter, carpenter, making furniture and moving.
    I enjoy being useful and I consider myself good working with my hands. I use many tools and I like to learn to use new ones.
    Currently settled in Sicily with my younger sister (Valentina). I am looking for some volunteer work on the island to tour it and get to know Italian culture and food better!
    Hobbies: writing, playing the guitar and knitting macrame.
    Mate adict. (mate is a tea from South America).

    Spanish version:

    English version:
    -I worked as a cook for almost two years. But outside of the profession, I love to cook for the people I love and that they enjoy my food (I love making pizza).
    In my life I painted more than 10 rent departments (mine and for friends) in addition to those I painted working.
    - I worked almost six months as a carpenter in a furniture manufacturing, and I love working with wood. I also know something about blacksmithing (although I not weld in years)
    - In New Zealand I worked harvesting and planting fruits and vegetables on a large scale (apple, orange, lemon, tangerine, persimmon, grapes, corn and lettuce).
    -I am an electronic engineer, and although I never worked as such I have a lot of knowledge in the area and also in programming.
    - I also know a lot about electricity, although it is the area in which I have least worked.

    I enjoy being useful and I consider myself good working with my hands. I use many tools and I like to learn how to use new ones.
    I love working in a team, if possible listening to music, singing and dancing.
