  About Me
  Hi, I’m Eike! After 15 years as a digital nomad, I’ve decided to settle down in beautiful Siracusa, Sicily. I work on different online projects that keep me connected to the world while enjoying the calm rhythm of the Mediterranean. Most days you’ll find me working from home or from a café with a sea view.
  
  I recently bought a spacious apartment overlooking the sea. It’s peaceful, sunny, and full of potential — but it still needs renovation before it becomes the creative, international space I want it to be.
  
  About the Place
  The apartment has 3 bedrooms and a wonderful view of the coast. A jogging and bike path runs along the sea and leads directly to Siracusa’s historic city center — perfect for morning runs, evening walks, or exploring by bike.
  
  Right now, the apartment includes:
  Minimal but functional furniture
  Hot water and a working bathroom and kitchen
  Fiber internet
  Comfortable beds
  Desks and basic storage
  Three good bicycles for getting around
  
  House Rules
  Nothing strict — you should feel at home.
  Just two small things:
  Smoking only outside (balcony/terrace)
  Please don’t store raw meat in the fridge (personal preference).
  Otherwise, the atmosphere is calm, friendly, and respectful.
  
  What I’m Looking For
  At this stage, I’m looking for someone who can help with light renovation tasks for at least 7 hours per week.
  
  Here in Siracusa, top professional contractors (electricians, plumbers, etc.) earn around €90–120 per day or €10–15 per hour.
  Since Workaway is a cultural exchange and you are not expected to be a fully trained specialist, I would offer a bit less, depending on your skills and how independent you can work.
  Typical range: €10 per hour.
  
  And of course, free accommodation by the seaside.
  
  The Spirit of the Place
  I don’t want this to feel like an employer-employee situation. I see it more like sharing a home with a flatmate. You live here as if it were your own place, and I do the same.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  I’m a multicultural person who speaks eight languages and has lived and worked across several continents – from Europe and Asia to South America. I’ve just recently arrived in Siracusa, so I haven’t yet had the chance to build a local community here. But that’s something I deeply hope to do over time.
  
  Siracusa is full of international tourists and has a rich Mediterranean cultural history. While I’m still settling in, I already have made some friends here.
  
  Eventually, I hope to turn this apartment into a small co-living space for people from all over the world – a place where we can share skills, ideas, meals, and good conversations while enjoying life by the sea.

  Arbeit

  I'm looking for someone who enjoys practical, hands-on tasks – nothing too heavy – to help out 2 hours per day. If you have any DIY, renovation, or handyman experience, even better!
  
  Some of the tasks may include:
  Painting furniture
  Making a direct path to the sea by cutting out plants
  Helping with old shutters
  Organizing and light clean-up
  
  If you have a car, that’s a bonus (e.g. for picking up materials), but it’s not required.

  Unterkunft

  You’ll have your own private room in a spacious 3 bedroom apartment with stunning sea views in Siracusa, Sicily. The room includes a comfortable bed, and a table will be added within the next few days. Fresh sheets and towels are provided, and you’ll have full access to the kitchen, bathroom, and shared living spaces.
  
  The apartment is located right along a beautiful coastal path that’s perfect for jogging or cycling and leads directly into Siracusa’s historic city center.
  
  While we are still renovating, it’s already comfortable and welcoming. We now have fiber internet, hot water, basic furniture and storage, and three good bikes for getting around.
  
  You’ll be sharing the apartment with me and one or two other international guests. My goal is to gradually turn this space into a small, creative co-living home where people from different backgrounds can live and collaborate.
