Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Travelers will have a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in everyday Italian life while bonding with our beloved dogs, who are sure to bring joy and inspiration. Living in the Castelli Romani, a beautiful hilly area just 30 minutes from Rome, the Eternal City, you’ll enjoy the peace of nature, charming historic villages, and local flavors, with easy access to Rome.
You’ll be able to learn more about Italian culture and traditions, especially when it comes to family life, hospitality, and cuisine. Those who are able to drive will also have the chance to explore various authentic neighborhoods of Rome, experiencing the city from a more local and genuine perspective.
During your stay, you’ll also have the chance to participate in activities like gardening and seasonal harvesting, getting a feel for the rhythms of rural Italian life. If you’re open to it, you might also pick up some Italian phrases or practice the language day by day.
Help
We are looking for creative and passionate individuals who love nature, art, and animals!
Priority will be given to those who have a valid driver’s license for driving in Italy and are comfortable driving a manual transmission car, as this can be useful for certain tasks.
In addition, we are looking for artists, tattoo artists, massage therapists, and volunteers who can contribute in various ways, including:
• Painting animals or any subjects they feel inspired to, as part of a shared art project
• General dog care (feeding, walking, playing)
• Photography and videography (taking pictures and videos of the dogs)
• Help around the house (cleaning and organizing)
• Gardening and harvesting olives and grapes
• General maintenance tasks
