  Description

  Hi I'm Stefano, I've been travelling and voluntering around for almoust my entire life, and now i feel to make something in my native land, where I own a house with garden in the countryside.
  
  The most of the help i need is focused on a food forest, a project i have in my mind and i'm trying to design as best as i can! The work to o depends a lot on the timing of your request, so i'll try to explain when you text me.
  
  My vision of the relationship between hosts and volunteers is very close to that of a small family or community, where everyone helps each other and communication is essential for a good living experience. I’m not looking for “free workers,” as unfortunately often happened to me when I was a volunteer, but rather someone who feels the project as their own and, who knows, might even bring something extra to it!
  
  If you also have experience in permaculture / tree pruning, that would help a lot!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We can show up how it's living with a traditional sicilian family.
  My mother is the chief and will teach many tips. Maybe we can try to make pizza together sometimes.
  
  I have been a workawayer until yesterday, so i know very well what it means. I can share many stories and many experiences that i personally lived that i'm sure, if you are new in this world, you will like to know.
  
  I can teach some basic acroyoga if you wish to learn it, and we can have a yoga daily routine every morning before breakfast if you want!
  
  I'm also learning ukulele and drums so if you are a musician you are very welcome to teach me, if you are not we can learn together!

  What else ...

  There is a bike you can use to go around, in 20 minutes walking you will get Caltanissetta that is a city with everything you need (bar, pubs,markets, shops etc). Caltanissetta is in the middle of sicily and it connects with every place so wherever you want to go you can find a train or a bus.
  
  If I'm free we can arrange a day-trip or better a weekend-trip with my van to get some special natural spots around sicily.
