Description
My name is Eleonora, I am a consultant active in the gender equality and diversity inclusion context. I am a project manager and a creative strategist. After 10 years around Milano and Europe mostly, I decided to take care of the family house in the countryside that has not been inhabited for the past 15 years. I am figuring out what to do with this space and I am freely exploring the food forest concept. I love cooking and I want to bring back alive some traditional food preserving techniques that my family ritually planned every year but that now hasn't been done for too long.
I am curious to know about your stories and learn from you too!
At the moment I am looking for short-term workawayers that are browsing in the Veneto area.
Unfortunatelly I dont have a proper heating system or a wifi connection.
I am looking for people to come over from now till the end of December.

People I can host will benefit from information about food seasonality, how to preserve food, how to build gardens, greenhouses, how to deal with fruit trees typical of this region. I speak English, French and a little Spanish but I am Italian modern tongue.
Help
I am willing to host people that
-are independent and don't need a long term stay (till spring)
- will garden with me and redesign a space that has been kept rigorously in a more food forest vibe.
-want to explore Italian cooking and preserving food traditions, homestyle with a contemporary clean-up.
-need some time for themselves: there is a lot of space in the house, and outside. You will be provided with a private bedroom, clean sheets, towels, and basic soaps.
-you will be asked to help 4h/day 5days/week and I will provide seasonal and home-cooked food 3 times a day.
- I am a great cook! You will learn how to process seasonal vegetables if you are into that!
I can host up to 3 people but I am willing to start with a group of 2 that can share the second master bedroom.

Accommodation
I have a triple room with single beds and a double bedroom with a lot of privacy. I have only one bathroom but there is a toilet on the ground floor.
There is space if you need to set up a workshop for your own art/work needs.
I'd rather accommodate 2 people and have the triple free for guests with very brief stays and keep the house quiet.
But I have a lot of friends so a couple of times a week there will be cool people over for dinner or lunch and also help in the garden as well!
What else ...
The house is quite isolated but I have two bikes and the towns nearby have nice markets and we are not far from Colli euganei (Brugine, Piove di Sacco, Montagnana, Arquà Petrarca). I am willing to share the house in winter for people that might need to work with their computer, or creatives that need some studio space. Service activities + some time to learn on things that we can agree with the guests workawayers!
