  • Description

    Hi folks,
    we are Andrea and Alessandra, an italian young couple. Born and raised in the countryside of Central Italy, we grew up with animals and close to the nature. We travel following our curiosity. Togheter we lived as volunteer nomads for a year and a half, travelling around Africa, South-East Asia and Australia, working and helping in a lot of different permaculture based eco-projects, mostly planting trees, designing food forests for poor communities, monitoring and protecting wildlife. We have been working on biological farms, wildlife reserves, national parks, camping areas, guest houses and hotels. We are enthusiastic to help in every possible way and eager to learn as much as possible from new experiences and meet people from different backgrounds.
    Andrea: I am a passionate visual artist and animal lover, seeking nature and wilderness to get my hands dirty. I spent most of my life designing and producing visual arts such as illustrations, paintings, murales, photographs, motion pictures and scenographies as a professional. Create pictures is my way to tell stories. I studied at the Academy of Fine Arts of Florence, where I took my first steps working in theaters as scenographer and designer. I dedicated my last 5 years to wildlife conservation and I am currently a nomad hard worker, a freelance visual artist and an environment and wildlife ambassador. I love apply my abilities to help others and defend the values in which I believe.
    Alessandra: I am a psychologist recently graduated in criminology at the University of Turin, Master’s Degree. During my studies I collaborated as professor assistent in different psychological and, especially, sociological reasearches. I got my first professional experience carring out a personal project about the street gang phenomenon working under the supervision of the University of East London, and than as psycologist for victims of family disputes and kids in need of minor custody. I am currently working as social worker for civil protection and care in Italy, helping providing goods and support for people in urgent need. I am an empathic and altruistic person, with great adaptability, always willing to help others.
    We are at your disposal for any further information.
    We will be happy to get in touch with you.
