Descripción

Hi! I’m Giorgio, a 30-year-old architect from Sicily (Italy), currently based in Siracusa.
For the last years I’ve been splitting my time between architecture, renovation work and managing holiday homes, and now I’m looking for a slower, more grounded way of living for a while – closer to nature, manual work and real local life.

I’m not just a “behind the computer” architect: I’m very used to working with my hands.
In my own projects and family properties I’ve been involved in:

small renovations and refurbishments

basic carpentry and woodwork (shelves, simple furniture, outdoor structures)

painting, sanding, minor repairs

helping with simple electrical and plumbing work under guidance

setting up and improving indoor and outdoor spaces for guests

I also own and manage several holiday rentals, so I know well what it means to maintain a property, keep things clean and functional, and make people feel welcome. I’m used to dealing with:

check-in / check-out and guest communication

small maintenance issues

coordination of cleaning and laundry

basic administration (invoices, registrations, etc.)

On top of that, I really enjoy cooking (Italian and Mediterranean food especially) and sharing meals as a moment of community.

What I can help with

I’m happy to help where there is real, practical work to be done. In particular:

DIY & building projects

renovations of traditional houses, quintas, fincas, farm buildings

simple carpentry and wood projects

maintenance, painting, restoring old spaces with care and respect for local style

I’m very interested in learning more about natural building (earth, lime, stone, bamboo, etc.)

Farming, gardening & land work

vegetable gardens, fruit trees, planting, weeding, pruning

creating / maintaining terraces, paths, small retaining walls

compost, mulching, basic permaculture tasks

I don’t mind getting dirty or tired – I actually want to.

Hospitality & community

welcoming guests, simple front-desk tasks, showing spaces

helping with cleaning and keeping common areas beautiful and tidy

photos and basic content for social media if needed

I’m fit, I like physical work and I’m used to long days when there is a project that makes sense.

What I’m looking for

Right now I’m looking for longer stays (1–2 months) in places that offer:

lots of nature: mountains, ocean, valleys, rural or semi-rural areas

a simple lifestyle: garden, fresh food, shared meals, basic comforts are enough

real contact with local people, families or small communities

projects where I can learn and contribute, not just be “cheap labour”

I’m especially interested in:

reconstruction/restoration of traditional houses (rural houses, quintas, old farms, stone hamlets)

eco-projects, permaculture, off-grid or low-impact living

farm life where I can combine outside work with small building tasks (wood, earth, stone)

I’m not looking for party hostels or big, anonymous businesses; I prefer calm, respectful environments where people care about what they are building – both physically and in terms of community.

Languages & personality

Native language: Italian

I speak English fluently and Spanish well enough for daily life and work conversations.

As a person I’m:

responsible and respectful of other people’s spaces and time

curious and open to learning new techniques and ways of living

independent when needed, but I also really enjoy working and sharing with others

honest about my limits: I’m not a certified electrician or plumber, but I learn fast and I’m careful.

Availability

I’m currently looking for projects from early December to the end of January / early February, with the possibility to discuss longer stays if the collaboration works well for both sides.

If you feel my skills and mindset could be useful for your project, I’d be happy to talk and see how we can help each other.
