    Description

    Hi, I live in the province of Rome, in Olevano Romano, a detached house surrounded by greenery, with about a hectare of land. I lost my wife a few months ago after a long illness, and sometimes I feel overwhelmed by grief. There are several things I'd like to do, such as renovating the greenhouse, repairing the roof of a chicken coop, replanting the vegetable garden, etc. I have chickens and a dog. With your help, I'd be inspired to start over. The view is truly beautiful, and the place is quiet. There are two guest rooms.

    Ciao abito in provincia di Roma, precisamente ad Olevano romano, una casa singola immersa nel verde, con circa un ettaro di terreno. Ho perso da pochi mesi mia moglie dopo una lunga malattia e mi sento a volte sopraffatto dal dolore. Ci sono varie cose che vorrei fare, risistemare la serra, risistemare un tetto di un pollaio, rimettere in piedi l'orto, ect. Ho delle galline e un cane. Con il vostro aiuto, avrei un stimolo per cercare di ripartire. La vista è veramente bella, il posto è tranquillo. Ci sono due camere per gli ospiti.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I can organize local treks, share knowledge about herbs, and introduce guests to members of the community. I am currently going through a period of personal rebuilding following the painful loss of my wife. I decided to open up my home because I deeply believe in the value of human connection, and I am seeking inspiration, stories, and a fresh outlook to help me look toward the future.

    Posso organizzare trekking nella zona, conoscenza delle erbe, conoscenza persone della comunità. Sto attraversando una fase di ricostruzione personale dopo la dolorosa perdita di mia moglie. Ho deciso di aprire la mia casa perché credo profondamente nel valore del confronto umano e cerco stimoli, storie e nuova linfa per guardare avanti.

    I have a private room, a bathroom for the exclusive use of guests, and a second guest room on a mezzanine level. Regarding the kitchen, I ask for a hand with meal preparation and the sharing of knowledge; as for food, there is no shortage of eggs and produce from the garden—or from friends, should my own garden not be doing well this year.

    I raise chickens, so there is no shortage of eggs or meat (for non-vegetarians). I have a vegetable garden. I also have extra virgin olive oil, tomato purée, and jams. I generally buy local products because I like to eat healthily. Food is not an issue, though help with meal preparation is appreciated.

    ***

    Ho una camera privata, un bagno ad uso esclusivo per gli ospiti, una seconda camera per gli ospiti su un soppalco. Per la cucina chiedo una mano nella preparazione dei piatti, nella condivisione di conoscenze, per quanto riguarda il cibo non mancano uova, cibo dell'orto o da amici se il mio orto per quest'anno non è messo bene.

    Allevo galline, non mancano uova e carne ( per i non vegetariani). Ho un orto per la verdura. Olio extra vergine di oliva, passata di pomodoro, marmellate. Normalmente acquisto prodotti del territorio, in quanto mi piace mangiare sano. Non ci sono problemi per il cibo, un aiuto in cucina per la preparazione è gradito.
