    Description

    Welcome!
    "Why buy what nature gives us?" A few years ago, my personal journey led me leave everything (I was touristic entrepreneur) and move into Majella National Park, in Abruzzo, a highly energetic place with spectacular views of Mother Mountain, immersed and surrounded by pristine and fortunately protected. I am renovating my stone house and for this period, I live in a caravan. Here, I am realizing my dream: living without bills and achieving food supremacy, in connection with other local people like me share these values. On my land there is a beautiful vegetable garden and a chicken coop. In my free time, I walk a lot, exploring these beautiful mountains full of trails, history and spirituality. For 20 years my main activity is: Guide and Survival Instructor. Available to welcome people to share simple experiences and also to evaluate projects. For your simple life experience, Renato awaits you and you are welcome! (Sorry my english 😊)
