*** LOOKING FOR NEW HOSTS FROM LATE JUNE/EARLY JULY ***

My name is Pietro and I am bicultural, Italian and British. Born and bred in Italy, but spent the last 21 years in the UK, most of which in central London. I have had corporate jobs all my life, mainly in commercial and operational roles with B2B SaaS companies in the online gaming industry.
I have travelled quite a bit using Workaway over 10 years ago. I had positive experiences that I still cherish, but I am now ready to make more Workaway memories after a long hiatus.
I have a keen interest in simpler ways of life, in touch with the natural environment, with focus on coexistence, rather than exploitation. I am fascinated with permaculture and I'd love to learn more about it directly 'on the field'.

Here are my strengths, but keep in mind I will happily tackle any project to which I can make a decent contribution:
- RELIABILITY: I am a dependable and considerate person. My word is my bond and I firmly believe in kindness, honourability, and integrity. If you have projects that require special trustworthiness (such as house sitting), I am the man for the job.
- COOKING: I travel with my book of Neapolitan traditional recipes, plus a bunch of diverse recipes I have collated over the years. I enjoy good food and I love learning new recipes (all cuisines are welcome), as well as sharing what I know.
- LANGUAGES: I have experience in language exchanges and I am a patient but determined teacher of Italian and English. I would love to learn new languages. Spanish, Mandarin and French are on top of my list, but I'll try my hand at any language, given the chance!
- COMPUTER STUFF: quite the technical term, right?😅 By computer stuff I mean I can help with software installation & use, organizing and reporting (I am a keen Excel user), presentations, CRM, CMS, Google Workspace, etc.
- DRIVING: I have a bunch of categories, not limited to cars. I am a competent and careful driver, with experience in both right-hand side and left-hand side driving countries across four continents.
- ANIMALS: I love and respect animals. I have a special affinity with cats, but I am happy with helping and supporting any species.

Que habilidades tienes?
I'm decently smart and very dependable. I'm a quick learner. I'm good with computers. I am also a keen observer and a good problem solver. I have language swap experience, which makes me a good and patient teacher (Italian and English). I love 'slow food' and I enjoy cooking: I'll happily give a hand in the kitchen.

Pietro stayed with us for two weeks and during this time, he not only worked diligently in the garden but also delighted us with his passion for cooking. He prepared delicate Italian dishes with great skill and creativity. His recipes were a true delight – refined, authentic, and full of flavor.

I spent two weeks with Steven, Jenny, Fin and Chica the dog, and it was a great experience. I helped in the garden with weeding, removing undesired plants, planting a pine tree, preparing plots in the vegetable garden and planting veggies there, watering, etc. I also cooked some of my recipes, which were well received, and that is a huge win,… read more

I spent two weeks at Sophie's in Megève, a charming ski resort in the French Alps. As beautiful as the town is, with its hiking trails, fashionable shops and historic buildings (I visited in April, right after the closure of the skiing season), the real highlight for me was staying with my kind host and her two sons, Maxime and Jules.

How fortunate we were that Pietro had an opening in his schedule and he came to us. He was so willing to do whatever was needed, including hanging curtains, seeding vegetables, preparing delicious Italian meals (including for dinner parties).

I spent 10 days with Debi and Micheal in their place in Aude, France (not in Texas) and it was a fantastic experience. They are generous, friendly, caring and they treated me like a member of their family. They involved me with their life and I met many of their interesting friends. While there, I helped with a few tasks around the house and in… read more

Baba graciously welcomed me to Gers, and I spent three weeks at her beautiful, big house sitting among idyllic rolling hills and green open fields. I helped with various tasks (outdoors and indoors), I cooked several times for Baba, and once for her friends too. The work was varied and fair.

I spent 6 weeks with Maja, Christian, Ivy & Frida (the two lovely cats) and the 5 guinea pigs. Over the first two weeks, I stayed with my hosts, who patiently trained me on the tasks I had to take care of also when house sitting on my own. The following four weeks were full house sitting. I took care of the cats, the guinea pigs, the wood boiler… read more
