  Description

  Hi my name is Giuseppe, i live in Sicily, in Santo Stefano di Camastra. I recently bought an house with an hectare of land and I'm starting to take care of this beautiful place by creating a food forest and a little village with tiny houses. My aim is also to spread the emotions of a life in a community,understanding and improving every day the relationship with other people.
  The house is big enough to host up to 2 volunteers at time.
  During summertime also volunteers can decide to sleep in tent. The land is near to the sea( 5 minutes by car) . I use to go there at the sunset, to relax after work. In the day off i usually go to a river with a little waterfall.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Travellers can enjoy the life in a magical place between the sea and the mountains, discovering the magic of community living, taking care of other people, giving and receiving love. Workawayers can also find a true calm and meditative atmosphere since there are very few noise and distractions. Perfect for those who want to explore their inner dimension.
  The main learning i can offer is about natural farming and agroforestry management.
  I graduated in organic agriculture and really interested in natural farming and permaculture, making new experiments every day.
  Workawayers become a part of the family: cooking, cleaning up,organizing events, and in general helping with the maintenance of the house.

  Accommodation

  The house has two floors, downstairs there is a room for volunteers, and upstairs there is my room and a common space with living room and kitchen and bathroom , also there is a beautiful terrace with a view of the sea.
  
  The food offered is three meals per day :breakfast, lunch and dinner. Sharing cooking skills is highly appreciated,also as a cultural exchange.
  The hours of help per day can change due to weather conditions (for example in summer the temperature can be too hot in some days.) but usually is up to 5 hours per day. But anyway the workawayer should help only when he feels to, without pressure

  What else ...

  In the time off there are few walks in the forest starting by foot from house. Or with only 10 minutes with car they can reach the sea and closer village like Santo Stefano di Camastra, Tusa..
  With a little bit time with the car is possible to reach nebrodi mountains.
