Description
Hi, we are Carly and Pablo! We are a recently married couple from California that are living in Spain with our cat Frida. We decided to move to Spain in search of adventure, new ways of sustainable living, as well as a continuous journey of learning. We are very excited to enter the summer months with an excitement for adventure, nature and connecting with new people and cultures. We are incredibly passionate about sustainability, social justice, education (we're both certified teachers in the U.S. - Carly is a Special Education teacher and Pablo is a science and Spanish teacher), environmentalism, nature, outdoor activities ranging from hiking to climbing to backpacking and so much more. We are both currently English teachers so language exchanges are definitely something we could do and would love to help with. Ultimately, we are open minded and excited to learn from this experience while also contributing to something meaningful.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Help a family with gardening ...)

Our two month stay with Veronica, Nicolo and their two daughters in Liguria, Italy was nothing short of an incredibly rich experience of a lifetime. Their hospitality, kindness, collaborative spirit, team mentality, nurturing vibes and inclusivity made our volunteering experience an unforgettable one! We arrived as strangers and left feeling like… read more we made wonderful friends.

Their home is located in a small village, just 15 minutes (by car) north of the Mediterranean Sea and just 30 minutes from the French border. Their land where they are building their house and have many projects is another 10 minute drive (or a 40 minute walk) uphill above the village where they live. The view from their land is absolutely stunning and makes working on the land worth it, with views of the Mediterranean Sea one way and Italian/French mountains with rolling vineyards, the other way.

Most days we worked on their land, helping maintain and build out their vegetable gardens with tasks such as: watering, planting, fertilizing, harvesting, trimming, planting new plants, clearing out areas of land for new plants and digging new gardens. We also learned how to build stone walls in the traditional local Ligurian way, built an outdoor kitchen, an outdoor bathroom, deck and shelving for the greenhouse. We also helped begin building their natural swimming pool and set up an electric fence to keep the wild boar out of the garden spaces. We helped co-design their land to their liking and even helped coordinate with other workers coming through the land some days for their other projects on the land as well.

When the family was in town we ate almost every meal together, where we all would help cook or a couple of us cooked for everyone. We even cooked and ate many meals together in the outdoor kitchen up on the land and were able to harvest and cook with a lot of our produce from the vegetable garden too!

We stayed in the attic of their house in the village and sometimes stayed in the cabin on the land when we wanted more nature time. We were able to borrow their bikes, use their scooter and get rides from Veronica, Nicolo and their friends. Veronica and Nicolo invited us to all sorts of dinner parties, yoga classes, beach gatherings, and events as well. We truly felt like a part of their family and friend group.

Veronica and Nicolo's volunteer stay is a must if you are looking for an outdoor, working in the garden adventure of a lifetime! Don't pass up this opportunity to work for incredibly talented, kind and really inspiring sustainable landscape architects!
