Description
Ciao a tutti!
We are a French-Canadian family passionate about Italy and its beautiful way of life. We dream of living there someday and are eager to connect deeply with Italian people and culture. Eglantine has already completed an artistic Workaway project in spring 2025, and we’re hoping to return this fall for an ecological or farming project, ideally involving permaculture.
This summer, we’re traveling to Rome with our son Massimo to show him why we love Italy so much. We are especially drawn to the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio.
We are karate teachers—dynamic, hardworking, curious, and very sociable.
Eglantine works as an industrial sales representative and is also a multidisciplinary visual artist. She’s very hands-on and loves contributing to all kinds of tasks (DIY, renovation, painting, gardening, etc.).
Michael is a director of American truck parts, a skilled handyman, and highly motivated to learn more about sustainable farming and all types of cultivation.
We have three sons (two are adults), a funny and affectionate French bulldog, and two Sphynx cats.
We’re looking for a welcoming farm where we can combine agricultural work with a creative project—a meaningful, inspiring experience based on respect, joy, and collaboration.
Looking forward to meeting you!
Eglantine, Michael 🌿🎨🥋
