Beschreibung
Hello, my name is Gianna, born and raised in Cape Town, South Africa. After graduating from university I travelled through my moms birth country, Italy, for a couple of months from up in the Alps down to Sicily and am now looking to explore more parts of this wild and wonderful world.

I love being outdoors, whether that’s on the mountain or in the ocean. I enjoy meeting new people, laughing and of course, indulging in good food.

I am an introverted extrovert, love engaging, going on adventures and working with people but also love my down time to reboot through running, meditation and reading.

This year I set out to do a whole bunch of other things out of my comfort zone in order to expand my mind and grow in different fields through Workaway!

vom Host (Explore the most authentic of ...) für Workawayer (Gianna)

This is one of those feedbacks that no matter what I try to put into words, it will not do justice to how grateful I am to have met this wonderful person. Gianna helped out in the hostel for one month and in that time carried out all the tasks that were asked of her with ease and efficiency, while the guests and other Workawayers were drawn to her… read more

Vom Workawayer (Gianna) für Host für (Explore the most authentic of ...)

A bit of a delayed feedback due to traveling but not a chance I would miss the opportunity to write one nevertheless! I worked at this hostel in the month of September, possibly the best month to be in Italy as we were blessed with the most perfect weather!

It was my first experience working at a hostel and I’m already looking forward to doing… read more

vom Host (Organic berry farm near the ...) für Workawayer (Gianna)

A volunteer like Gianna in our BERRY FARM was one of the best people we had. She’s calm, active and well dedicated to her assigned tasks. To her co- volunteers she’s well remembered for her nice character and friendship. I really recommend her to other hosts, she’s a great help and solution oriented! Thanks to her 5 weeks help in picking berries… read more

Vom Workawayer (Gianna) für Host für (Organic berry farm near the ...)

Where to even start! If you need an escape of reality and an opportunity to connect with yourself, nature and people from all over the world - THIS IS THE PLACE.

I stayed with Joy, Giuliano and their three kids for 5 weeks in one of Italy’s hidden gems, Val di Sole, in the little town of Cogolo that now has such a special place in my heart.

I… read more would sometimes look up to the glorious mountains around me while picking berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, red & black currents and gooseberries) in the fields thinking in amazement “is this actually my life now?” The location is so dreamy! Not only do you become an expert at picking the correct berries, you get to snack on the overly ripe ones which are guaranteed to tickle your tastebuds with satisfaction.

I worked at the local markets in the area (Wed, Fri, Saturday) a few times which was a great way to practice Italian and truly feel more like a local in the community. Giuliano gave me the opportunity to be creative with the kiosk space and always assured that everything was running smoothly. Giuliano is extremely hardworking but will always make time to show you fun things to do in the area. He is also a very good photographer and will probably capture some of your happy memories during your stay.

We’d work from 8:30am to 1pm, which I always felt was extremely fair, then get to enjoy a home cooked lunch made by the ultimate chef, our Joy. She is Wonder Woman! Not only does she make the most delicious food under the sun (just a warning, her motto is that you should gain at least 2Kg during your stay there) but also manages the household with up to 13 workawayers like it’s a breeze! You truly were a great mother to all of us during our stay.

You will learn more of what it is to truly share and listen in this space, enjoy it fully and remain open hearted & minded.

As for the workaway fam, thank you for all the endless laughs especially about the occasional language barriers! I loved that the location stayed the same but the family continuously changed as people came and went. One goodbye always meant another hello. Regarding the living space, we would eat our scrumptious meals together in the dining room, share one bathroom in the house (time management is key) and for the first two weeks I stayed in the caravan in the garden with 3 others then moved into the room in the house with two single beds. Both were comfortable and had their perks!

There are many trails and lakes to visit in the area, I would suggest starting right away instead of leaving things for the end of your trip.

I am so grateful to have had this experience, I will remember it for life. Grazie milli, until we meet again!
