    Description

    Hello Workawayers!

    My name is Vincenzo and I live in a farmhouse in the countryside of Bagheria, a few minutes from Palermo in Sicily. My house has a wonderful olive grove overlooking the sea and a small orchard.
    I am a chef, local olive harvester, and a frequent traveler in the past.

    My house is a happy house and I often organize small gatherings with friends. I love animals and there are 4 cats and 1 dog living in my house.o

    *No workaway guest will engage in sales of any service or product.

A responsible person who can take good care of feeding my animals and do light maintenance of the house (painting tasks, maintenance around, wood collection, light work in a garden). Please contact me for this listing only if you have a car driving license and are comfortable with driving. It is important you are independent while helping with house/pet sitting.
