Description
Hi, my name's Francesca, I am 34 and I live in Milan. I love nature and animals and I practice plenty of activities outdoor, such as trekking and paragliding. At the moment, I have a boring part-time job and I live in a chaotic city: I don't like western life at all, and the only reason me and my bf stay in Milan is for taking care of our old cat and learn new skills. I have recently introduced myself to the home production of soap: I am trying to make soap at home, using only local ingredients, starting from the production of lye from wood ashes, like our grandmothers did. I am sick of consumism, mass production, and life focused on profit (for big companies of course): in my opinion, western life is not sustainable anymore and I am looking to learn how we lived in the past, in a more sustainable way. I'm offering a huge drive to learn and help, I don't smoke nor drink, I am only looking to contribute to create more sustainable communities, where people help each other rather than stepping on others' feet just for their own profit/achievement/success.

I have spent about a month with Khaled and his family and I can't find any word to describe how beautiful experience it was. The camp is located about 10 km far from Rum Village, with a stunning panorama at any time of the day.

I have spent only ten days here, but I wish I spent more. The project is really nice: they are building an ashram (community) which is going to be self sustained by solar power, rain water collection and local food production. At the moment they're building the terraces where to grow plants and crops and also some accomodations for paying guests,… read more
