    Description

    Hi, I'm Karl.
    After many years in Italy, I’ve returned to this small city to embark on a new adventure. I'm working on a DIY project to make a small outdoor spot. There’s not a lot to do, but I could really use some help! From daily tasks to getting hands-on with this project, your assistance would be a huge support as we bring this idea to life.
    It's a work in progress and a great chance to get involved, share ideas, and learn together. If you’re up for a bit of an adventure and don’t mind rolling up your sleeves, I’d love to have you join in.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    During the quieter autumn, winter, or spring months, our small city offers a more relaxed and authentic atmosphere. It’s the perfect time to engage in a meaningful cultural exchange and learning experience, as the pace slows down and you can truly connect with the local way of life. This project is all about creating an outdoor spot from the ground up, giving you the chance to be part of a hands-on effort while discovering the hidden aspects of the area that most visitors don’t get to see.
    You'll have the opportunity to interact with locals, participate in daily routines, and experience the charm of the off-season in a way that goes far beyond typical tourism. What makes this experience special is the chance to collaborate, share skills, and learn together as we work towards building something unique.
    I’m always around (no vacations for me! 😄) to guide the project, share local insights, or simply have a chat. If you’re open-minded and ready for an adventure, this stay promises to be enriching and unforgettable.

    Help

    Your support will involve a variety of hands-on tasks to help bring the outdoor spot to life. This could include some wood crafting, painting, or setting up simple structures like a tent, compost toilet, hot shower, or outdoor kitchen. We’ll also work on tasks like mechanical weed removal to keep the area looking its best.
    There’s no need for expert skills—just a willingness to get involved and learn as we go. Your efforts will add valuable touches and help shape this space into a welcoming and functional spot.

    No help regarding any business activity is being asked.
