  Description

  SPRING 2024: SPECIAL WISH (Below you can read our profile).
  WE ARE POSSIBLY LOOKING FOR A PERSON WHO ALREADY HAS EXPERIENCE OF COUNTRY LIFE AND / OR SELF-BUILDING WHO WANTS TO SPEND A PERIOD IN THE MIDST OF NATURE AND COLLABORATE IN VARIOUS ACTIVITIES, AFTER A SHORT TRIAL PERIOD IF WE GET ALONG WELL MUTUALLY IT IS POSSIBLE TO AGREE ON A LONGER TERM COLLABORATION, WE OFFER ROOM AND BOARD (CARAVAN) WITH COMPOST TOILET AND POSSIBILITY TO SET UP AN OUTDOOR KITCHEN.
  IF YOU ARE NOT THIS KIND OF PERSON BUT YOU FEEL ANYWAY MOTIVATED BY OUR PROFILE, WRITE US ;)
  
  My 7-year-old son an I live in a small country house in the middle of the woods, nestled in the Maremma hills, from which you can see the sea :)
  We have a natural vegetable garden and an orchard, there is a lot of forest, a lot of wild animals.
  We heat ourselves with wood, harvest fruits, olives, herbs, preserve edible and medicinal wild plants, self-producing what we can. We make bread, herbal products, preserves. We have a source of drinking water.
  We are part of an association with other neighboring related entities with whom we do events promoting self-productions, agroecology, and exchange.
  There is always something to do and invent! With the garden, wood, grass, maintenance, harvesting and canning, different activities depending on the seasons and weather.
  The workawayers who visit us will immerse themselves in our daily lives, work together and share vegetarian meals with wholesome, organic and possibly local products.
  We lead a simple life in the excitement of being able to be immersed in the wilderness and create with our hands. We like spartan people who enjoy this simplicity and are happy in getting busy.
  We would like to welcome people who have a practical sense and perhaps previous experience with backcountry living and self-building, but not necessarily.
  We do homeschooling and are pleased when our guests are willing to share their knowledge.
  We host in tents and trailers, for a minimum of two weeks, maximum of a month or more depending on how we get along with each other. Besides agroecology, we are interested in meditation, yoga, music, my son very much even Lego :)
  There is a wifi connection that makes smart working possible eventually.
  
  We speak Italian, English, Spanish.

  SE NON SEI QUESTO TIPO DI PERSONA MA TI SENTI COMUNQUE MOTIVATO DAL NOSTRO PROFILO, SCRIVI ;)
  
  Io e mio figlio di 7 anni viviamo in una piccola casa di campagna in mezzo ai boschi, immersi nelle colline maremmane, da cui si vede il mare :)
  Abbiamo un orto naturale e un frutteto, c'é tanto bosco, tanti animali selvatici.
  Ci scaldiamo a legna, raccogliamo frutta, olive, erbe, salvaguardiamo le piante selvatiche commestibili e officinali, autoproducendo quello che riusciamo. Facciamo il pane, prodotti erboristici, conserve. Abbiamo una sorgente di acqua potabile.
  Facciamo parte di una associazione con altre realtà affini limitrofe con cui facciamo eventi che promuovono le autoproduzioni, l'agroecologia, lo scambio.
  C'é sempre da fare e da inventare! Con l'orto, la legna, l'erba, le manutenzioni, le raccolte e le conserve, attività diverse in base alle stagioni e al meteo.
  Gli workawayers che ci verranno a trovare si immergeranno nella nostra quotidianità, lavoreremo assieme e condivideremo pasti vegetariani con prodotti genuini, biologici e possibilmente locali.
  Conduciamo una vita semplice nell'entusiasmo di poter stare immersi in una natura selvaggia e di creare con le nostre mani. Ci piacciono le persone spartane, che godono di questa semplicità e che sono contente nel darsi da fare.
  Ci piacerebbe accogliere persone che hanno senso pratico e magari esperienze precedenti di vita in campagna e di autocostruzioni, ma non necessariamente.
  Facciamo homeschooling e ci fa piacere quando i nostri ospiti hanno voglia di condividere le loro conoscenze.
  Ospitiamo in tenda e in roulotte, per un minimo due settimane, massimo un mese o più in base a come ci troviamo reciprocamente. Oltre all'agroecologia, ci interessano meditazione, yoga, musica, a mio figlio molto anche la Lego :)
  C'è una connessione wifi che rende possibile eventualmente lo smart working.
  
  Parliamo italiano, inglese, spagnolo.
