Description
Hi, I am an Italian guy from Northern Italy.
I love travelling and learning things. I like learning languages and practicing the ones I already know. I speak Italian, English, French, Russian and a little bit of Turkish and Portuguese.

I've became a digital nomad teaching Italian to foreigners of all ages. I have been living in France, Kazakhstan, Türkiye and Romania. I love meeting new people and helping others with something.

I have studied arts and cinema and I love any products of culture. I am also a physical work lover and I love being in movement. I do a lot of outdoor activities such as hiking and wild camping. I also like exploring new activities.

I worked 6 years as a waiter, in a Michelin Starred one too, and I enjoy cooking simple recipes (focaccia, French fries, aglio e olio, ragú, pilaf rice and rõsti to name a few). I used to do yoga in the morning and some meditation.

I worked as a house cleaner / nanny for a family in Turkish. I cooked, did the laundry help their daughter with English homework and playtime.

I'm looking for Workaways in which I could also keep teaching. I wouldn't mind waking up early in the morning and then having free time in the afternoon.

My stay at Bianca's place was fantastic.
I was super happy for how good it was to communicate with her. The village is in the countryside and I had the opportunity to discover the surroundings deep in the nature. The work was not intense and quite enjoyable. Bianca's dogs are very well trained and they show you their love. A very nice experience,… read more

I loved my 3 months stay with Figen's family. Thet are fantastic people and I felt blessed by their trust in me to stay with their 8 years old daughter. We played together, I helped her with English and she taught me Turkish in exchange with her endless energy.
I cooked and cleaned the house and the work was not heavy. The place is very quiet and… read more

I had some experiences with workaway but this was the best for me. I really enjoyed the place, the tasks and the company of Jane, a really wonderful person to meet. Her ability to plan and cook large meals is outstanding. We borrowed the car to visit around during free time and the place is gorgeous. It's a great experience if you want to practice… read more

Seb, the owner, was such a pleasant and nice person. I can say the same for the managers that helped us at the beginning and were always friendly colleagues. The work-time, despite being intense, was enjoyable given the warm atmosphere between the staff members (love everyone of them :*). The experience was also great to improve my language… read more

I absolutely loved the stay with them. I can now say that they were crucial for my process of learning French given that now i can speak it so much better than before. They were patient, kind and the work was fair. Not to mention the wonderful food ;)

I couldn't hope for a better stay in the beautiful countryside of Lassay-les-Châteaux, among wonderful people. Gary and Joyce, his wife, where some of the kindest people I've ever met. They treat me like a part of the family and we shared some wonderful moments, some insights on the English language and rich conversations.
The work was nice and… read more
