Description
Hola hola!
I'm Letizia and I live in the beautiful land of Salento, in Puglia, where I carry out several projects. I mainly deal with environmental sciences, in particular creative recycling and natural agriculture. At the moment, I would like to focus on the creation of a green space for the cultivation and planting of trees and horticultural species. Also, I want to include in my plans the menagment of our family-run B&B, wich helps me to finance the project and voulteers stays.
live with my dog, Sakamy, a few steps from my family and the land to cultivate is right in front of the house. I love socialising and spending time with people, as well as being by myself and taking my personal space. I love being surrounded by nature and going to the sea when I can. I am also passionate about juggling, karate, art and travel. I have carried out several European projects including Erasmus, Youth Exchange and European Volunteering, because I like to learn about different cultures, compare and grow. For this reason I decided to open my home to those who are willing to be part of my eco-project for the creation of a family garden and much more, having fun with creative recycling. I am sure that you will fall in love with my Land for its sea, its food and its traditions.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Salento is a land rich in culture, good food and beautiful situations. If you know where to go there are many options for cultural events, fairs, festivals, markets, nature trails, workshops and guided tours. My land is very welcoming and warm. I care about showing and teaching everything that is typical and I would like there to be an exchange, therefore learning everything about the other culture. In addition to a cultural exchange, I also hope for an exchange of personal skills and abilities.
Help
In the eco-project I have in mind there will be various activities to include:
• Creation of a small family garden: maintenance and arrangement of the land, planting vegetables, reforestation, picking fruits, composting and so on
• Creative recycling
• Maintenance of the order of the common spaces and various household chores, including my parents' house.
• Cleaning and general maintenance of our family managed B&B, in which I live.
Activities depending on competencies and experiences:
• Content creating to attract people to the project and and raise awareness on sustainability
• Photography and video-making
• Construction&building
• Painting
Since I have a degree in environmental sciences, it will certainly be an opportunity to delve into environmental issues, in particular natural agriculture. In addition, I carry out a craft activity based on the recycling of materials, including wood, seeds, and clothes. I like to give new life to objects and deal with recovery and creation. So also in this area there will be an opportunity to exchange ideas and new skills.

Accommodation
I live in a house with two floors where there are two apartments fully equipped with bedroom, kitchen and bathroom. I live in one of these apartments and as accommodation for those who are hosted I thought I could make available a complete apartment or share one, since there is a lot of space and several bedrooms. I really like cooking and preparing things, I have been vegetarian for 4 years and I offer equally vegetarian meals. Surely there will be an opportunity to taste typical dishes from Salento and beyond.
What else ...
I live in Sannicola, a small and calm town near the sea (about 5 km by car), where there is a beautiful coutryside.
Here in Salento there is so much to do and see, but you have to move around. I have a car that I cannot put at your complete disposal, but there will be moments of free time in which we can go around and see new places. You can move around with public transport, but it is not the best of options. I am a very active person and I like to be on the move, but also to relax and enjoy moments in company. I currently have a job that allows me to manage my time in the way I see fit. There are no particular rules in the house, the important thing is to be respectful of people and objects, take care of the spaces and have good communication.

Nella casa ci sono spazi tranquilli dove poter mettersi a lavorare al computer senza essere disturbati. La casa è dotata di Wi-fi. Le ore di lavoro durante la giornata possono variare in base agli impegni di entrambi.
Space for parking camper vans
Non dispongo di un'area apposita privata dove poter sostare con camper o autocaravan, ma sotto casa c'è uno spazio per parcheggiare un camper. Non posso fornire attacco alla corrente nel mezzo, ma c'è la possibilità di usufruire dei servizi all'interno della mia casa, tra cui bagno cucina e corrente. Nel mio piano futuro sto progettandp un'area camping per ospitare un camper e delle tende.
Can possibly accept pets
Sono ben accetti tutti i tipi di animali, avendo diverse aree verdi e avendo a disposizione un parco a pochi passi da casa. Bisogna tenere in conto che io possiedo un cane, che va d'accordo con gli altri animali.
