Description
Imagine waking up every day just steps away from the soothing sounds of the sea, the warm, golden sunshine on your skin, and the pleasant scent of coastal flowers wafting through the air. Welcome to my villa, a beachside haven where natural beauty, serenity, and eco-friendly living converge.
I just moved back to Italy after living abroad for more than 20 yearx. I am eager to meet fellow travelers just like me.
My aspiration is to delve into the realm of herbal knowledge and homeopathy, to uncover the secrets of fermented foods and their numerous advantages, and to acquire the skill of soap making. I'm also eager to learn about earth-based construction, construction methodologies, sustainable living and furniture making. I'm interested in cultivating a deep understanding of organic farming, composing landscapes, natural building techniques, composting processes, and the art of vegan & food preservation. Little by little I am turning this place driven by handmade natural materials... and excited to gain all this knowledge!
I am seeking passionate, dedicated individuals who are eager to contribute their skills to help build a seaside natural oasis. This is a unique opportunity to work directly with nature, create lasting impacts on the environment, and partake in the development of a serene coastal villa.
Thank you for reading about me and my learning desires.
Please contact me, I look forward reading your messages
