Description
We are a couple living in Padova (PD) studying Local Development, keen to get out of the city, and get immersed in sustainable lifestyles that engage more fully with the natural environment.
Isaac - I am originally from Britain but now I live and study in Italy - I'd love to see more of this beautiful country and offer help in whatever way I can!
Chiara - I love going out to the mountains, and I would love to take proper care of the Alpine communities that are suffering from a tourism-driven economy. I would be very happy to support local environmentalist projects and sustain a natural way of life!

More details about your skills
We would love to help with gardening, cleaning, taking care of animals and crops, or chores around the house - we are not the strongest but we are enthusiastic! Working with the immediate environment and landscape is very special to us, and to assist with the running of environmentalist projects would be a wonderful opportunity.
Isaac - I used to work construction jobs, and would be happy to be part of manual labour, especially outdoors, but I love cooking , so can also provide meals! I am a native speaker of English, if you want to get some more conversational experience.
Chiara - Cooking, cleaning, taking care of animals - any way that I can be helpful, I would love to work wherever I am needed! I don't have much experience but I am eager to learn, and I love to cook vegan and vegetarian food, especially for other people!
