Description
Hello everyone I assume my name is salvatore and I have been living in Paris for about seven years, but my home and my heart are in Sardinia where my elderly father and my uncle live. My project is to renovate an old stone house belonging to my grandmother, the house is located in Baunei, a mountain village not far from the sea, famous for its natural beauty between sea and mountains.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
as far as cultural exchange is concerned, here you can learn a lot about the ancient agro-pastoral traditions, especially from my father and my uncle, I can teach you how to cook in a healthy and responsible way, also using products from our land. In the village of baunei you can immerse yourself in the ancient popular culture that is still alive. If you love trekking here and in paradise, and I'm also a runner and trailrunner who also loves bodyweight gymnastics like kalisthenics, therefore sporty or not, you can take the opportunity to get back in shape by going for beautiful runs in the mountains pampered by fantastic landscapes between sea and mountain.
Help
To start with this project initially I would need a person with a minimum of experience in carpentry, initially we will take care of cleaning the stones or removing the old lime between the stones to replace it with a waterproofing material leaving the old style intact, start the construction of the first bathroom of the house obtained from a semi-cave, we also take care of the cleaning of the old juniper trunks and then be re-used. Here you can learn working methods that will be useful in your life.
