    Description

    Hey hey fellow fellas and fellarinas! :) Nice to meet you! We are Sheena (36) and Benni (38), a couple from germany that bought a small house with a bit of land in the italian mountains to create our dreamplace. To put it simply, our roots lie in the punk- and partyscene. We want to create a safe space for likemindet humans and animals. We love antifascism, nature and animals! This should also be the common base with our guests. We are open for anything else and are happy to share our knowledge and experience with you and learn from yours. :) We are away sometimes to work in Switzerland, so we are also looking for chicken- and dogsitters, helping hands in the veggiegarden, handymen, people that know about creating a homepage,... whatever. Let us know what you expect from us and what you can and want to bring to the table. We can talk about everything. If this is working, there will hopefully soon be more animals.

    We have a lot of experience with Couchsurfing... So you can also just visit us for a hike in the most beautiful valley. :) Blablabla, enough talking. If you have any questions, feel free to ask! See you!
