Description
Hello! I am Simona from Italy I live together with my son Sunny in Valchiusella a beautiful valley in Piedmont on the Alps of the northwest of Italy. We have choosen this beautiful land to make our home and one year ago we bought a lovely house. A lot of projects have been done in the last year to make it possible to stay but we are finally ready!!!!
The property is very beautiful, it is in front of the river with spectacular view and just behind there is an ancient Lake it's a magical place for walks and plenty of opportuniyies to spot wild animals...... directly in the garden!
I have been travelling for many years so I speak a few languages, I am a certified Energy Healer and Crystal Healing Therapist and I am happy to share my knowledge.
Since living in this land I have deepened my already very strong connection with the earth, I started to grow fruits, vegetables and hearbs for our family use and I have also learn to pick wild plants and recognize trees and mushrooms.
Growning my own food is a bit advantage, I have a lot and the need to preserve it was the trigger for one new field of study...... fermentation!
I have many interests and I am always happy to get to share.

Most of the tasks are to be done outside of the house for the general maintenance of the property.
The house has about 5000mt of land all around, we do have some fruit trees and we would like to plant some more and some other kind of tree as well.
