    Description

    I am a theatre actress, director and playwright and I live in a olive tree piece of land near Rome, working on a theater project. I speak English, Italian ,French, average Spanish and Romanian, a little German and Slavic. My father was Swedish and my Grandfather Irish from Dublin .I am also a Language. besides Drama. teacher. I love to swim, good conversation , reading aloud activities, walking, arts - I paint as well- Everything that can be done freely in Nature.
    This is a cultural multi comprehensive project among the olives in Sabina 30 km from Rome and 7 km from the Thermal Baths of CRETONE with 3 large open air cold water swimming pools.

    At the moment there is a 100mq Theater tent (Pagoda) with low stage, 2 wooden guest houses, one public bathroom and an open air kitchen on about 6000 square feet land, 60 olive trees, 6 fruit trees, a small swimming pool And a small wood which needs cleaning and chopping.

    I need to repair the Pagoda which has been damaged by the bad weather, make other guest houses, finish off kitchen and bathroom, make other, dig a bio vegetable garden, and fencing on two sides. And cleaning out the premises.

    Once the structure is ready I will start courses on request. I personally teach languages, literature and most of all Drama. In fact all drama workshops will result in performances on premises or in the surroundings, including Rome. Dance, music, singing, Tai ci, yoga, herbs and plants notions, Italian cooking with homemade pasta, but also international cooking.

    'Festas' will be organized on different themes always in the spirit of nature, peace, health and internationalism. Nudism days as well. In any case anyone can make proposals and find together what appeases all.

    This is quite isolated from other houses, and very rustic , so do not expect a modern hostel . Keeping it clean , including bed rooms , bathroom , kitchen and common lounge is up to you.
    There is no car but can provide electric bicycles. The bus stop is 2 km off. The small town of Palombara Sabina is 5km. The railway station to Rome is 14 km far (Pianabella di Montelibretti), The sea is about 20 km.
