Description
totally a newbie on Workaway,
I am originally from Italy but I spent many years doing science in academia, mostly in the US and few years in Germany. Now I am ready for new adventures.
More a techie than an artist, hopeless animal lover, very low maintenance life style.
I can get around computer stuff, versatile doing small work indoor/outdoor, and happy to take care of various living creatures.
Left in a kitchen, I won't be poisoning people (probably).
Rediscovering the pleasure of riding a bicycle, my best friend on the saddle is the battery of the e-bike.
Skills and knowledge I'd like to share or learn
I'm interested in:
General Maintenance
Eco Projects
Helping around the house
Charity Work
Some knowledge of:
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Animal Care
Helping with Computers/ Internet
Teaching

Max was such a great help. He arrived soon after my hens were killed by a fox who broke the door open into their garden. Max did a great job strengthening the door and the fence around the chicken coop and all around my property. He was supposed to restore a clay oven but the emergency changed with the loss of my lovely hens and he adapted to… read more

This is my first Workaway experience in a small farm, I wanted to see from the inside how it works, from seeding to sell the produces, either plants or veggies.
After spending about a month with Nigel, his wife Renée and friends I got at least a glimpse of what it takes.
Nigel is very relaxed and jovial with a old-style British sense of humor,… read more

my staying at Vince's walnuts wonderland was certainly a positive experience.
Vince is a very generous person with many skills, you'll definitely learn something from him. Overall I had a great time spending almost 4 weeks.
The place itself is a work in progress and needs some renovations but the potential is all there, volunteers can contribute… read more

Max was volunteering with us from the Christmas period 2020 until the end of February 2021 and he was an incredible help for our shelter and our team during the difficult lockdown period. Max immediately blended with our team and won the heart of our shelter kitties. He was helping with every day operations and mastered all daily tasks required… read more

I had the fortune to spend 2 months in the cat sanctuary during the lockdown. It was a well spent time with lovely creatures craving for attention and love. The permanent staff (Ellie, Amber) and the first member of the new training program (Rosie) deserves a lot of credits for running a smooth operation and insure that the cats, often carrying… read more

Anita, her husband Jim and their friends created an idyllic place for abandoned and mistreated cats seeking shelter and tranquility on the shores of lake Chapala. They had and they still are putting a tremendous amount of work (and money) to keep the Sanctuary running smoothly for the benefit of the past/present/future feline guests.
I had the… read more

Max cared for the cats in a naturally beautiful way. He did more than was
asked of him, helping out wherever he could, playing with the cats and helping
to socialize them. He even invented toys to entertain the cats.
With his help, we kept the cats well groomed and healthy and the casa a
harmonious place to be. Thank you Max.
