LAST UPDATE: 1 OCT 2024
Hi, I'm Leo! 👋 A 27-year-old from Italy 🇮🇹 with a passion for adventure, tech, and making meaningful connections. I'm a blend of fun, professional, and maybe a little too curious for my own good!
🌍 Wanderlust Alert!
After finishing my studies, I packed my bags and began traveling in 2022. My journey kicked off in South America, starting with the vibrant streets of Rio 🇧🇷, and slowly winding my way down to the end of the world in Ushuaia 🏔️, before making the long trek north to Colombia 🇨🇴. Along the way, I also explored Guatemala 🇬🇹, chilled in California 😎, and even ventured into the Canadian wilds 🇨🇦.
After recharging at home (and eating waaaaaay too much pasta), I set off for Asia 🌏 with no return ticket, landing in Thailand 🇹🇭. That adventure took me through the chaos of India 🇮🇳, the beauty of Japan 🇯🇵, and the wonders of Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. So random!
And guess what? Now I’m diving headfirst into my African adventure 🌍. Can’t wait to see what will unfold!
🎓 Professional Nerd in the House
Not to brag, but I’ve got a pretty serious academic background. I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering 💻 and a double Master’s in Human-Computer Interaction & Design 🤓. I even managed to study at 6 universities in 6 different countries—yes, it was as intense as it sounds! But I love learning and pushing myself out of my comfort zone.
💻 Work & Play
I’m a freelance app developer by trade, solving real-world problems with creative tech solutions. I’ve built several apps from scratch 🚀 and love seeing how technology can make life easier. When I’m not glued to my laptop, I’ve worked in all kinds of roles: as a waiter 🍽️, a receptionist 📞, and event organizer 🎉.
Oh, and I’ve also completed a few Workaway experiences:
- Cruising the U.S. by van 🚐, helping friends with everything from daily tasks to drone videography 🚁 and photography 📸.
- Working at a hostel in Patagonia 🏔️, assisting with check-ins, cleaning, and general maintenance.
- Reception duties at a hotel in the dreaming Galápagos 🏝️, while also lending a hand with guest tours and tech issues.
🏄♂️ Sports & Outdoor Fun
If it involves the great outdoors, I’m in! I’m passionate about hiking 🥾, rock climbing 🧗♂️, longboarding 🛹, surfing 🏄♂️, and snorkeling 🤿. I’m a certified scuba diver 🌊 and I am working on perfecting my yoga 🧘♂️ and meditation practices. Gotta balance out all that adrenaline, right?
🎨 Creative Outlet
When I’m not coding or traveling, you’ll find me lost in nature 🌿. I love photography, art, and reading books on science 🧪, social issues 🧠, and, of course, travel. I’ve experimented with body painting 🎨—who knew it could be so much fun? Music is also a big part of my day, with a soundtrack that mixes rock 🎸, indie 🎧, and electronic 🎶.
🔧 Skills & Languages
I love a good DIY project 🛠️ and am always down to help out with anything that needs fixing. As a guest, I adapt quickly and love learning new things. I’ve also hosted a bunch of people on Couchsurfing 🛋️, so I know the value of building connections and respect each other's spaces.
I’m fluent in English 🇬🇧, Spanish 🇪🇸, and Italian 🇮🇹, and always on the lookout to pick up more languages!

Que habilidades tienes?
I'm responsible and totally indipendent: I live alone and I'm mostly a solo traveller.
Talking about my skills:
- PROACTIVITY: I put this one as first because I believe procastination is the worst habit. You can be the skillest man on earth but if you hold over the commitments you have, the final result is mediocre. Usually when I want\need to do something, I focus and do it.
- BUILDING: when I was 3, my parents gave me Lego and from there I've got passion about building and reparing: from fornitures to motorbikes engines passing through Playstations and other digital stuff. Basically I'm an handyman. I have to admit that sometimes I fix stuff in my own way: usually it is far from the ortodox one but it works (and it's cooler ;) )
- PHOTOGRAPY: in love with it. Mainly landscapes and nature, but also people are nice to photograph :)
I've got a mirrorless camera and 2 lenses, I'm taking online courses. I've just published my first calendar!
- COOKING: I like healty food, so I can have the enery I need to live the day at the maximum. Don't forget I'm Italian ;)
- INFORMATICS: I've studied Informatics since I was a kid. I'm proud to report that once I received a call from Microsoft Talent Team for an intership proposal: such a big achievement!
I'm mainly into apps: I pubblished an app when I was 19yo that has been downloaded more than 300.000 times all over the world! Nowadays I work as a remote app developer for 2 californian guys.
I would be happy to help you out with your online presence or other digital things :) -

Algo más...
I'm here on WorkAway because I'd like to spend my next free period helping out someone doing cool stuff somewhere in the world. Look that from this description I can only share the 10% of what I really am!
I alaways prefer speak to people so I'd be happy to have a Skype call with you if you wanna know me better! :) -

Very organised, efficient and a superb communicator with both staff and the guests. Without prompting he became a leader and helped out greatly by training the new volunteers and guiding them in their roles.

The tasks included changing the beds lines, cleaning (with special attention to the details), making bread, do the laundry … read more

We had visited 4 national parks and had super fun time together. Eating sushi in front a sunset with the mountains in background or crashing in a backyard old-people party is unforgettable!
They are beautiful persons, really kind and respectful. Damaris is … read more
