Description
I am Riccardo, 28 years old Italian guy. I am from a village near the lake of Como, beautiful area close to big cities as Milan and Bergamo. I lived few years in London in my early twenties ans then traveled around Scandinavia and Italy doing differents workaways: it has been wonderful. I am currently living in Switzerland.
I studied tourism and always been working in hospitality, from hotels to catering agency and little restaurant and well known Michelin starred.
I speak a good english and good french.
Lately i am trying to find another way of living wich I haven't found yet but hope to find soon and therefore I really appreciate being outside and working in gardens and farms to get back some of the time i have spent in the restaurants.
I would love to see more and learn about permaculture or sustainable project to improve the short experience had in the past. Learning being confident with DIY it's a priority and working with wood is something I am interested in. Last but not least, I am studying about wine and I would be more than happy to help in the vineyard.
I am an amble person who likes to give the best in what he does. Always willing to new challenges and hard worker. I am really respectful of other people and i like to share. I am always positive and most of the time in a good mood :) . Positivity is the best ingredient for a good day.
I like being with people as well as being in solitude from time to time so I can give both type of help, obviously being with someone else is more fun and also will be best to language and cultural exchange.
I love travelling and the nature gives me peace. Hiking and running are things that I do on a daily basis and I try some yoga from time to time and would be nice to do more and learn. I love animals: back home there are two cats living with me. I am adventurous, I am an amateur climber and I enjoy canoeing.Interests
