    Description

    I am Elisabetta, I live on Elba Island, a small island nearby Tuscany, in a quiet and peaceful area.
    Together with my brother and my mum, I run the family campsite, where we live, open in summertime.
    Me and my brother were born on the island. My mum is from Thailand.
    We speak Italian, English, Thai, Spanish and German a bit.

    We also have a small farm, we produce extra virgin olive oil, some fruits and vegetables, grapes.

    We are looking for help for simple outdoor activities such as gardening, pruning, masonry, wood or concrete painting, ordinary maintenance.
    We would also like to decorate and beautify some outdoor and indoor areas with drawings, murals, colored paintings/writings, directional arrows/writings on wood pieces.

    Workawayers are not replacing local paid employees.
