Description
Hello everyone!
We are Claudio and Elisa, a 39-year-old couple with many dreams.
Tired of the hectic routine of the modern society, in 2018 we quit our jobs, we bought an old camper (which still is our house) and we left our village looking for a different way of living, in harmony with Nature, animals and people, but first at all with ourselves.
The experiences we lived, made growing in ourself the wish to have our own piece of land, where we can put into practice the principles of self-sufficiency as much as possible. It is a very ambitious project, which also includes the construction of a ecological house, using wood, straw and clay.
A long journey brought us here, in our corner of paradise, in Abruzzo, in the center of Italy, near Vasto.
The land, of almost 3 hectares, is surrounded by olive trees and has a beautiful view of the sea and the mountains.
After 2 years as volunteers, now we are really happy to be hosts! We love the idea of sharing our dreams with travelers from all around the world.
The roads to follow our dreams is really long and every little help will help us to achieve it.

Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre
We spent the last few years studying and practicing the principles of permaculture, regenerative organic agriculture, biosinergic garden and bioconstuction.
The volunteers can learn and share with us how to start a self-sufficiency project based on these principles.
We will be really glad to share with you every our knowledge, as well as yours.
We can make jams with the fruits of our land, homemade bread and pizzas, spirits, fresh pasta, soap and much more

The tasks here are really varied and it depends of the weather and the period you are going to come.
In the garden there always is something to do: to seed, to plant, to weed, to collect, to transform,to add straw and compost, to collect bad insects, to spray natural teas, to water, ...
But the help is not only in the garden: there also is to clean the forest, chop the wood, clean the bottom of the olives trees, clean the bricks, collect fruits to dry them or to do marmalade, go to the neighbours with the wheelbarrow to collect the poo of their goats, cut the grass, clean the fence from the brambles and lot more.
We love to know other traditional meals, so we share with volunteers the tasks in the kitchen, as cooking and washing dishes.

Hébergement
We live in a camper, while volunteers stay in a caravan, that is old, but provided with electricity, heating and hot water.
The toilet is an outside compost toilet and the shower is outdoors (among the olive trees) during the summer, while during the winter you can use the little shower inside the caravan.
As we don't have any sewage system, we ask you to use only environmentally friendly detergents.

We are looking for genuine people, who wants to share and looks to Nature as something wonderful to respect and protect.

We currently have only one cat, but in the future we would like to have goats and chickens.
