Description
Hello! We are Mattia (37) and Anni (34) from Italy! We live in a small village in the Dolomites. Mattia runs a small apple ochard and Anni is a social educator. We love being in nature, camping, hiking and skiing. We both have a strong passion for travelling, along with a strong environmental motivation.
During the last 5 years, while not working in the countryside, we have been living part of the year abroad: we sailed by boat the Amazon river in Brazil, we travelled by public transports across Central America (Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua and Costa Rica), we spent some months in South East Asia riding a motorbike.
In 2020 we spent almost a year travelling around South America without producing disposable plastic. We are also approaching to permaculture and other natural practices in our garden at home. In 2022 we travelled around Europe among Spain, Portugal and France with our self converted car and a roof top tent. A slow travel, in order to reconnect with nature, people and the beauty of simple things.
We both are very social, adventurous, curious and always happy to learn and share! We love cooking, experiment vegetarian recipes and being surrounded with animals.
During our experiences around the world we had the opportunity to volunteer with workaway in many different countries and situations.
Like all travel addicts, we just can't stop dreaming of bigger adventures!

It was a pleasure having Mattia and Anni in our home. They are great people, always willing to help and to learn. They are also very skillful with farm work and with pretty much everything, they helped us a lot! The best part though is that be became friends and that´s what we value most about the experience :)

We spent one week at Amerigo, Caro and Duna’s home, the time there literally flew!
Thank you so much for sharing with us your magic place! We’ll treasure everything we learnt: gardening, taking care of plants, art-recycling and living in a self-sufficient house!
We’ll miss the lunches together, the caravan and the nights around the fire!
So lucky… read more
