Description

Hi!

I'm Louis 29 from the UK.

I spent all my life living in the UK but always had a hunger for seeing new places and experiencing different cultures, especially with food and wine! My journey so far has taken me across most of Europe most of which was on my motorbike. Along the way I've developed a deep passion for Music, Food & Wine. I'm at the stage in my life where i'm looking to take a step back from Retail and move more into Agriculture while also taking time to focus on my heath and wellbeing.

In recent years, i've focused my time and energy into the world of wine Having spent 12 months in 2023 volunteering part-time in vineyards in both Italy and the UK. This has given me an understanding of the viticulture process and all the challenges that come with it. I also have 4 years experience in managing wine shop in the UK that gives me confidence in talking about wine with with people and hosting group tastings. In my free time I have studied and completed my WSET level 3 award in Wines giving me a big knowledge of the beautiful world of wine.

I'm hard working and down to earth meaning I can make friends very easy and I'm happy to help in anyway that I can. I'm helpful in cooking and cleaning and also with any gardening tasks such as pruining, digging, collecting firewood, harvesting etc... I'm not experienced with building work but i'll be more than happy to learn.

In 2022 while at a workaway in Gavi, I met my girlfriend Paula who I continued travailing with throughout summer and now have a long distance relationship. This year we are spending the Spring doing workaway's in France and Spain and then in Summer we will be in Canada doing the same thing! :)

What else ...

All things food and wine! I feel like Europe is the home amazing food and wine and I'd very much like to be experience all the culture that it brings whether that's eating out or simply enjoying home cooked food with company and a bottle of something amazing. Also a lover of all things Music. Anything and everything will do however I have a particular love for Bob Dylan! While away I would also be very active is seeing what's around me. Having my Motorbike I will more than likely get away in my free time to experience all the things that are close by!
