Description
Ciao! My name is Sandra!
I’m passionate about living a simple life close to nature. After traveling for a long time and living in a camper, I bought a small old farmhouse in Italy with some land. I love the peace and the slow pace of living here. I am a kind and quiet person, I love to hear other peoples stories and also like to share mine. I believe that we are all here to learn from each other. I am 43 years old, but I would describe myself as young at heart.
My house is in the Ligurian Mountains on 800 m altitude in the middle of the nature park. I’m about 10 minutes driving (40 min. walk) from the nearest town for shopping etc. The place is a bit isolated, so you should be aware of this. My house is very simple, I heat with wood and I source my water from the spring. That's why water consumption must always be kept very low. The weather is changeable, it can snow, storm or rain in the mountains.
I’m looking for volunteers who are passionate about a natural life in touch with nature, who like to be outside and respect nature. If you feel addressed, you are very welcome to spent some time with me. Because I'm working in the mornings, you will spend and work sometimes allone aswell. We are sharing the house, cooking and cleaning. Like in a little comunity. Couples are also very welcome. If you like, there is also a lot of space to put a tend in the fields.
I look forward to share this experience with you!

I need help with planting and caretaking of my vegetables and flowers and there's always a lot of lawn mowing to do in spring. There are always lots of tasks outside...
