Description

I am American but have lived in Europe for 11 years: In Germany, Tbilisi Georgia, and Italy (visited regularly since 2013 and traveled extensively throughout the country for work; lived in Bologna for 2 years; have an Italian wife and carta di soggiorno). I am a filmmaker by profession, but I have a deep and long-standing wish to find a self-sufficient life closer to nature. I am learning Italian, approximately B2 level but my conversation skills are rusty after another recent year in Tbilisi. I am looking for hard work outside in gardens, orchards, forests, or renovations. In the past I have worked on a horse farm in Germany for one year and many years ago as a carpenter for a year. I am eager to learn skills in the areas of gardening, forestry, and building. I realize that these are complex fields requiring dedication. This is to say that I am not volunteering to have a nice vacation, but I truly wish to learn and to work as hard as possible. I am a great lover of animals and of nature.

What else ...

I am very serious about wanting to learn about sustainable lifestyles and what is involved, I am not just a traveler/vacationer looking for a nice trip in Italy. Italy will be my home for life and I am trying to make an entry-point into this kind of lifestyle. I love hard work and I am a kind, easy-going person. My main passion is to learn.
