We’re selling our house in Spain, where we’ve been living for the past two years, and we’re leaving the country around mid-March. After a stopover in Italy, we’re heading to Sweden.

Beschreibung

Hello there!
I’m Alessandra,43 years old, and together with my husband Luca , who is 52 years old, we decided it was time to add a little adventure to our lives. We’re an Italian couple currently living in Spain, and now we're excited to explore Sweden and experience life there.
Sweden has always fascinated us: the breathtaking landscapes, the deep respect for nature and animals, the balanced lifestyle, and the culture where simplicity and quality truly matter. It feels like a place where we could learn a lot, grow, and feel at home.

Two years ago, we bought a house in Spain after selling our home in Italy and leaving our full-time jobs. At some point we realised that the life we were living just didn’t reflect who we were or who we wanted to become. We wanted something more meaningful: more nature, more time, more breathing space, and more connection with people and with ourselves.

So we made a change. We moved to Spain, close to the Potuguese border

Here in Spain we've been Airbnb hosts and absolutely loved it , especially meeting people from around the world, connecting with them, and making them feel welcome. Hosting reminded us how powerful sharing, kindness, and cultural exchange can be.

Since we both love travelling and started feeling those “itchy feet,” we recently bought a caravan to begin a long journey , and we're not travelling alone. Our two cats, Arya and Carlitos, are coming with us.

Arya is a six-year-old, super fluffy diva who’s convinced she rules the household (and honestly… she kind of does).
Carlitos joined our family about a year ago , he chose us, not the other way around. He used to be a stray , he's around three, and now he’s the biggest cuddle machine we’ve ever met.
They’re both well-behaved, but they don’t get along well with other cats, so it’s easier for our potential host if there are no resident cats. Dogs are fine, as long as they like cats.

We’re hoping to experience Sweden in a meaningful way. We want to help, learn new skills, meet people, and get a real taste of the culture and daily life. We enjoy nature, quiet places and discovering how people live more sustainably and simply.

A BIT about US:
We’re practical, hands-on people who don’t mind getting dirty. Luca has some experience with simple DIY projects, basic repairs, furniture assembly and small plumbing jobs, and we’ve both been involved in renovating our home in Spain, including painting and general improvements. We’re not professionals, but we’re quick learners and we enjoy figuring things out.

Animal lovers.
We both adore animals , we enjoy being around them and we've been volunteering at the cats shelter in our town because we LOVE cats.

Curious and motivated.
We’re interested in learning about gardening, permaculture, self-sufficiency, renovation, and eager to learn about anything we don't know in general.We’re motivated by experiences that challenge us, teach us new skills, and help us grow as individuals and as a couple. We love giving our best, being reliable, and contributing wherever we go , because seeing someone’s smile or knowing we’ve made a task easier is its own reward.

Food and culture lovers.
We speak Italian, English and a little Spanish, and we’ve started learning Swedish (slowly, but we’re committed!). I personally love languages and language exchange, so I'll be happy to help with your Italian :). We enjoy cooking and we love trying food from every country we visit and we usually love it.
We love bringing people together over food, laughter, and conversation.

Why Workaway?
We’re joining Workaway because we believe in genuine exchange , where everyone benefits: learning new skills, sharing cultures, creating connections, and building memories.
For us, life is about meaningful connections, learning, and experiencing the world fully. The idea of meeting new people, sharing stories, and understanding different ways of life fills us with energy and joy.
We love the idea of contributing, helping with a project, and leaving a positive footprint wherever we go.

If you’re looking for a kind, reliable couple who enjoys working hard, learning fast, and sharing good moments, we’d love to connect and hear more about your project.

Looking forward to meeting you , maybe soon, somewhere in the beautiful Swedish countryside🇸🇪

I speak English quite fluently. My husband is learning it to communicate better, but he understands most things pretty well. We’re both learning Swedish , not exactly easy for Italian mother tongues like us, but we enjoy a good challenge! :)

Was könntest du arbeiten?

Luca and I are motivated, down-to-earth people with a growing interest in sustainable living, organic farming and permaculture practices. We enjoy hands-on work, being outdoors, and learning new skills from people with experience.
We don't have previous experience helping on farms, but Luca has some gardening experience and he can already do tasks like trimming hedges, planting, weeding, and general maintenance. I can learn and I would like to ! :)

Luca has done simple DIY projects, basic repairs, furniture assembly and some plumbing. We’ve both done house renovation work, like painting and small improvements, while fixing up our home in Spain.

We're both comfortable with physical work. learners, curious, and open to new techniques.
We can also help with cooking, cleaning, house chores.

We volunteer regularly in a cat shelter, and we're used to feeding, cleaning, handling animals with care. We love animals!

I speak Italian, English, some Spanish and I understand a little German and French and Portuguese, I love languages; Luca can speak Italian, Spanish and a little English. We're both learning Swedish at the moment.

We 're into art, cinema, music. Luca plays a bit of guitar as a self-taught musician, and he’s now teaching himself piano. We enjoy everything from rock and pop to classical music, and we’re always happy to discover new artists or share songs with others.

I’m very sporty and staying active is a big part of my daily routine. Exercise helps me feel energetic, strong and balanced, both mentally and physically.
I’m currently studying Pilates, so I’m really interested in movement, body awareness, posture and functional strength. Both Luca and I leave a healthy and active lifestyle.

We’re positive, reliable, hard-working, and genuinely interested in contributing to a project that values nature, community, and sustainability.

Was noch ...

We’ll be travelling with our caravan and our two furry friends, but if possible we wouldn’t mind having a fixed accommodation. In any case, we’re flexible and happy to adapt, so either option works for us.
