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 44 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 write me a message.
Because I'm working in the mornings, you will spend time 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!

Help
The help I need is mostly in the fields. I have a vegetables-garden next to my house and this year I am creating another garden about 30 min. away from my house. This means that we will sometimes drive to the other garden to work there aswell. In spring there is always a lot of grass to mow, and in summer I get my wood delivered, for which I need help. And I'm also always happy when someone looks after my dogs so that I can go away sometimes without them.
