Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They will live a farm lifestyle in the centre of Italy. I require help in the morning. The usual activities are: feeding the animals, providing them care and cuddles). There is occasional repairing and fixing to do, shopping and cleaning the staples. For people interested in cultural activities we can plan and design together shows, events and festival. I sometimes work as a Theatrical author, my shows are mostly related to historical and traditional religious events.
Help
I am looking for people to help me on the farm.
There's general help to do. Feeding the animals, cleaning the staples, some small building or repairing in the house.
It mostly depends on your skills!

I would ask you to bring a little bit of money for your extra food need (pizza, alcohol, candies, etc. etc.)
I am happy to share three meals per day.
