Description
Hello, my name is Christian, I own and manage a small business creating artistic stained glasses and interior design.
In my laboratory I produce artistic glasses for hotels churches and historical liberty buildings.
It’s in my intention to improve my English speech and grammar and also start to learn German language.
In the last 2 years I had already a couple of experiences as a workawayer in Slovakia and in Sweden; for the next winter I’m planning to travel to UK or to USA.
My final goal is to become a touristic guide in Rome or Venice.
I live in Luino, small touristic town located on the Lake Maggiore shores in northern part of Italy, very close to italian part of Swiss borders; the area is known as The Big Lakes one including The Como lake and the Lugano lake (several celebrities like George Clooney felt in love with the area, spending here long part of the year).
