  Beschreibung

  In 2014 I travelled with Workaway and would like to give something back. I live in a beautiful setting on a hillside overlooking the sea, in a converted barn. I need help clearing the adjacent land and with some painting inside.
  
  Workawayers must like cats. YOU MUST CONFIRM THIS IN YOUR MESSAGE OR I WILL NOT HOST. If you don't like them you won't enjoy the experience as I have cats of my own in the house and I feed stray cats. I only offer one week stays.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  This is very much real Sicily, although it is a tourist destination in the summer if you visit outside that time you'll find a small welcoming community and learn about real working-class lives.
  
  Travellers can learn Italian and Sicilian, meet local people who work the land, build walls and keep sheep. You can learn Sicilian cookery. In September we pick grapes and have made wine. In November there is the opportunity to pick olives and see how oil is processed, In December and January to pick oranges and make marmalade.

  I am English but have learnt Italian. I speak rusty Swahili and Spanish from my time living in Tanzania and Spain and I can remember about 10 words in Russian from when I spent 6 months living in Ukraine. I would like to learn German.

  Unterkunft

  A double bed in the house as seen in the pictures.Smoking is allowed outside in the courtyard in the picture.
  
  For food - if you work 5 days at 4 hours a day I am happy to provide meals. If you want to work 15 hours or less then you will organise your own food, I will just provide accommodation.
  
  If you eat here, breakfast is yoghurt/toast/cereal. Lunch is usually a light meal of sandwiches or salads with a main home-cooked meal in the evening. This can range from different Sicilian pasta dishes, to Indian, Mexican or Chinese food - I like to cook different things. If in your culture you prefer the main meal at lunch this can be accommodated. In summer months we eat late due to the heat, again if you prefer to eat earlier we can arrange this. We are not vegetarian but don't eat a lot of meat so can provide a vegetarian diet, If you are vegan you may prefer to prepare your own food as we use honey, cheese, eggs and fish.

  In your time off this is an area suitable for those who want to relax, good for reading, writing, art projects and walking in nature. The area is very quiet. . There are only 2 other houses near - no night life. We are 6km from the city with no public transport. There are good train and bus links from the city t for a longer journey to Palermo. I have guide books and maps for those who want to plan trips.
