Description
Namaste
I am working on building and organizing an eco friendly environmental project focusing on the idea of the free-spirit place for active people who are involved in different creative activities and practices.
I would like that one day this little place here in Sicily can become a meeting point for those who wants to express their own free spirit.
I like to travel and I have an experience of living in different countries and cultures. The healthy way of living is one of my goals. I like to share knowledge and ideas with others.
The property is located in the area of S.Maria del Focallo which is close to Ispica, Pozzallo, Modica, and you could also go to Siracusa by bus or train.
Everyone is more than welcome:
- clean person, not trouble makers
- respecting yourself and others
- ready to share and exchange ideas
- team-workers, able to cooperate and achieve common goals
- easy-going person with a feeling of empathy, connected to others
- those who are interested in a personal growth and continual self-learning
- creative and aware of sustainability
