  Description

  Hi, I am Michela!
  In the last few years I lived between Florence, Spain and I did a workaway experience in a hostel in the NL for some months. Now I’m back in my beloved island, where I work for an intercultural centre that supports migrants.
  
  If you are looking for some time in the south of Sicily, this could be the place for you!
  
  I live in a nice flat in Borgata, close to the historical centre (Ortigia) and the sea
  
  Since I enjoyed my previous workaway experiences in the Netherlands, I like meeting new vibrant souls from every corner of the world and, at the same time, I would need an help in cleaning and in renovate my terrace, I would like to share my house with some enthusiastic workaway travelers.
  
  In exchange, you would help me with:
  - housekeeping, cleaning (house and terrace),
  - terrace maintenance (painting the walls, hang boxes, building with pallets)
  - Laundry
  - care of the plants- flowers
  
  I just require between 3-4 hours por day :)
  
  
  At the moment, just short periods with the possibility of extension!
  
  nb since I started hosting people in my house the bills have increased significantly, so I request an intelligent consumption of water and gas and, if possible, a optional donation for the bills. I absolutely don't want to profit from it but paying them alone is going be harder. Just a donation based on how much you use and how much you can is enough

  Travellers will have a lot of free time, and I will provide a wealth of information about the city, the coast, and the surrounding villages. Ortigia, the Archaeological Park, and the train/bus station are all within walking distance of the house.
