Vladi

Travel information

Description

Hi, my name is Vladi, I'm 30 years old and I come from italy, Milan.
I was born and grew up in a family of artists and musicians; my father plays jazz guitar while my brother plays accordion; since I was small I always listened and felt music.
I attended “Brera” art school in Milan and then I started to work as goldsmith in my father's laboratory.
I am graduated in Classical guitar music at the Conservatory of Milan.
Now, I deal with managing my greatest talents playing and teaching music and now I'm studying Musictherapy at the Conservatory of Ferrara.
Furthermore I have experience in agricultural and manual jobs because I have relatives who own a great amount of lands in the countryside of Verona and I often visit them. This is actually a part of myself I will always love: I miss the possibility to work lands and interact with animals and nature.
I think Workaway is a good chance for:
- To be nearer and as much inside the nature as it is possible and take care of it.
- Help and meeting new people, having the chance to learn from them.
- To know cultures different from my own, drawing from others' positive qualities to improve myself.
- Improving my English and trying to learn new languages.

More details about your skills

I have travelled with Workaway for more than five years. I have had the chance to visit different sites, where I have learnt working with animals like horses and coats, feeding them and cleaning their stables every day. In Austria I‘ve also experienced being a shepherd of a flock of over eighty sheeps. I’ve also worked in two B&B in France helping with general maintenance, cleaning rooms and setting the house for guests. In each site where I stayed I took care of the garden and its plants: planting seeds, giving watering to them every day and sometimes I pruned plants as well.
In my latest Workaway experiences I spent a beautiful time with a kind family in province of Bolzano where I worked a lot and with pleasure in the fir forest, cutting woods also with apposite machines and working with hay as well.
Another interesting experience I had it was in an Ecovillage near Udine where I spent three months working a lot, mainly in the kitchen (Vegan) but I've learnt also some carpenteries technical but above all I've learnt to live with other people, improving my sense of community and my sense of sharing.
