    Description

    Hi everybody!!
    I’m Simona, an italian living in this island since 2004. I ‘m an artisan and artist in love with nature, i work with natural dye using plants and flowers i collect here. I’m living in a very typical and old country house and running a beautiful finca in the middle of Formentera with a big aloe vera plantation.
    There’s a lot of plants and land to take care and I often need help to refurbish the old house.
    I would like to host someone who knows the traditional and old techniques of refurbishment and a sustenible way to recicle water.

    All the help is not a business help.
