  Description

  Hello to everybody!! My name is Alessandro, 31 years old from Italy.
  I'm living in Argentina's valley on the west side of Italy. Triora is one of the most famous villages of this area.
  I'm located 25 minutes from Sanremo and in less than one hour from Nice in Cote Azure.
  
  Few years ago, after graduating in Architecture, I bought an old abandoned house in the middle of the forest and I renovated the house and cleaned up all the woods around. It was a big challange, but with a daily hard work, I am satisfied of the result.
  Actually, I need a help for the orchard and the garden around my place, I would like to build up new stone walls and similar works!
  I'm sure you will fall in love of this wonderful valley!!
  
  In this area you can enjoy long walks in the middle of the forest, you can practice downhill; climbing excursions, tasting lovely italian food with traditional wine and many other activities.
  Francesco, a friend of mine, will join me during the summer. Together we will take care of the volunteers and we will work together. He is a person who can exchange his experiences along the world and can speak many languages too.
  
  In addition to the every kind of help, I will try to expand my visuals by opening the door from outside, from people of other nations, new cultures and different worlds. I am sure that you will bring enormous benefits to the place that I am creating.
  
  There's no problem if you come by train or bus, I can pick you up at the nearest station.
  Last, but not least I can speak Italian, Portugues, English, French and Spanish.
