Description
Hi, I'm Alison and I live in Marche, Italy. I have a boxer dog called Sisma and two cats, Thomas and Charlie, I have 10 acres of land here with olive trees and a beautiful garden. I'd love help with the garden and help cleaning up around the olive trees and pruning. Maybe also help in the house with maintenance jobs.
The house is a large 3 bedroom stone house and I'm about 5 minutes away from the local town. It's a stunningly beautiful peaceful place with lovely views. Plenty of walks and space to watch life go by!
I'm a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic coach and regard healthy food as a fundamental part of life. No junk food in my cupboards!!!

You'll learn about olive oil production, and also there are some very good wine producers in the area and I have some wonderful sommelier friends for wine tasting. As a yoga teacher and Ayurvedic coach, you'll also have an opportunity to learn about living yoga!
Help
I'd like help with gardening, weeding, pruning and helping in the olive grove and if it's bad weather maybe some help painting furniture and decorating! Maybe some other DIY projects. There's always so much to do!

My experience with Alison, Sisma (dog) and Charlie and Tomas ( cats) was very good. Le Marche is a beautiful area but if the host place is in the country side, you will depend on the host for transport. Alison was very accomodating on the weekends on this issue. Thanks… read more
