Description
BEFORE TEXTING US PLS READ THIS:
We are ready to host back on the second half of March. However, we have a very specific request. We are looking for a person who is an expert in cars. Me - Vladi - is about to get my Italian driving license and then immediately I need to buy a car. The thing is that my budget is very limited and I am not an expert in choosing among old cars (I think we will get one from 2000s) so I need a person who is surely confident and better passionate in finding one that will serve us for the next months and better years.
We will look for and then visit together potential dealers, we are looking for someone who will stay with us around 2 weeks for the second half of March. Drop us a message and let's get to know each other (if you feel you are the right person for that task).
BELOW IS OUR PROFILE:
We are two friends who crossed paths in 2017 while volunteering in beautiful Puglia through the European Solidarity Corps. Fast forward seven years, and we’ve embarked on an exciting new adventure together—buying a charming house in a medieval village in Abruzzo, just an hour’s drive from Rome.
As we renovate our home, we’re also dreaming big! We plan to open an NGO and create a vibrant community space that welcomes people from all walks of life. But first, we want to make our home a cozy haven for visitors.
Me Vladi, and my journey as a global traveler and volunteer started several years ago. I've had the privilege of exploring South America, where I volunteered for a year, followed by almost five years in Europe, mainly in Italy. My travels have also taken me to Asia, where I lived in both China and India for six months each. Through these experiences, I’ve gained a deep understanding of different cultures, languages, and ways of life. Now that I've settled down, I’m eager to create an enriching environment for other travelers like myself.
Katia has focused primarily on Europe, with a wealth of experience in various volunteer projects. She’s been actively involved in facilitating workshops, events, and programs, particularly through EU projects. Her background in volunteering and project management makes her a natural at organizing and creating meaningful experiences for those around her.
We believe in the power of connection, collaboration, and creativity, and we can't wait to share this journey with you. Join us as we transform this space into something special, and experience the beauty of Abruzzo firsthand!
