Description

We are a friendly and open-minded family of three, travelling through the south of Italy. Our goal is to experience the Italian way of life, learn about the culture and language, and connect with open-hearted people. During our travels, we hope to find a place we can call home in the future, as we are planning to move to Italy next year.

We all speak English very well and have started learning Italian.

We don't need much to be happy — we packed everything we own into a small car and left Germany in November 2025.

My name is Adrian (39). I love working in the garden, planting trees, growing vegetables and getting my hands dirty. I have experience in gardening and construction, and would love to be of help in these areas. I also love sports, particularly martial arts (kickboxing, jiu-jitsu). I currently work for an energy exchange and have just started a one-year sabbatical. I love connecting with people, learning new things, and sharing whatever knowledge I have.

My wife Jule (35) is a part-time tutor teaching children maths online, as well as homeschooling our daughter. She has a natural gift with children of all ages — and they all take to her immediately. At the moment she is learning Italian intensively, knitting, playing the piano, and indulging her passion for reorganising cupboards, wardrobes and pantries to make any home feel more functional.

Our daughter Kate (8) is wonderfully open and friendly. She loves being around other children and genuinely cares about everyone she meets. Her passions include crafts such as crocheting, braiding and drawing, as well as looking after animals of any kind.

We also have our little dog Lenny, who is friendly, calm and never barks. He gets along well with all animals and is hypoallergenic — he doesn't shed.

More details about your skills

3 Years ago I started maintaining and restructuring a vegetable garden inspired by permaculture ideas. Working around the garden is my biggest passion but I also gained some experience with woodwork and constructions during our house renovation.
In general, I come along with a hard working attitude and will do anything that neefs to be done. Also, I'm always willing to learn new things.

My wife Jule is always happy to take care of the kids, cleaning the house, looking after animals and assisting in kitchen as well. As she still works a few hours online and looking after Kate, her contribution might be a bit smaller, so I will do more to make it up for her.
