    Description

    Adrian and I, Mirella, run an agriturismo on 6 hectares of Iland. We rent out holiday flats and grow saffron, among other things. We have 2 Sardinian donkeys, 2 Sardinian dogs, two cats and three chickens. Wi live in a beautiful location with a 180 - degree view of the sea. In abaout 5 minutes we are at the most beautiful beaches of Gallura. You need a car. Or another means of transport. We are far away from the tourist hustle and bustle and yet we are quickly in the centre of the action. Adrian is an artist and I write books. We are both Retired. We are both Swiss. I`m also Italian and we `ve both lived here for six years.

In ca. 5 Min. sind wir an den schönsten Stränden der Gallura. Du brauchst ein Fahrzeug.Wir sind fernab vom Touristenrummel und doch schnell im Geschehen drin. Adrian ist Künstler und ich schreibe Bücher. Wir sind beide pensioniert. Wir sind beides Schweizer und ich bin zusätzlich Italienerin. Wir sind seit 6 Jahren hier.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You will get to know the Sardinian way of life and mentality. It is different from the Italian one. You will get to know the Swiss mentality through us. Many people have alredy learnt handicraft tricks and new works with different materials through Adrian. Mirella can show you how to make mirt, limoncello, rosemary salt and so on. Also how to prepare large tables (cooking, we always have many guests/friends). You will also learn about the culture of saffron. There are several families in the neighbourhood who also have people join from workaway. So you can get togehter with likeminded people if you want. Perhaps you can show us some of your culture that might interest us and would suit us. We look forward. to hearing from you. Not sure what you could write? Here`s some inspiration for you. For eyample, write about. Joint activities and social get-togethers you enjoy.

    Du lernst die sardische Lebensweise und Mentalität kennen. Sie ist anderst als die Italienische. Du lernst durch uns die schweizerische Mentalität kennen. Schon sehr viele Menschen haben durch Adrian handwekrliche Tricks und neue Arbeiten gelernt mit den verschiedensten Materialien. Mirella kann dir zeigen wie man Mirto, Limoncello, Rosmarinsalz usw. macht. Auch wie man grosse Tafeln (kochen, wir haben immer viele Gäste/Freunde) vorbereitet. Auch die Kultur des Safrans lernst Du kennen. Es hat in der Umgebung einige Familien, die ebenfalls Leute von workaway beschäftigen. Also kannst Du Dich gut mit gleichgesinnten Zusammentun wenn Du willst. Vielleicht zeigst Du uns einiges von Deiner Kultur, das uns interessieren könnte und passen würde. Wir freuen uns auf Dich.
