Description
I'm curious and hardworking, with a particular interest in food production, sustainability and community living, as well as practicing Italian now that I can call this brilliant country my home! I love to meet new people and exchange cultures and opinions, previous workaways have taught me that there is no better way to do this than taking yourself out of your everyday and immersing yourself in a new context. In addition to this I have and would like to continue to learn some practical skills in growing your own food and ideally DIY. I'm keen to try most things and hope to meet some great people along the way. Never happier than when I can be outdoors!

I returned from a stay with Martino feeling very energised! The enthusiasm he has for the home and community he is setting up is very special. The village is remote and a wonderful way to escape the city. As per his profile, his home is still under construction, so while it may not have all of the home comforts, quite yet, it's exciting to be a… read more

My time at Alessandro's was absolutely brilliant. From the beginning, communication was easy and although my stay was brief, I had a great time chatting, learning about trees, cooking together and generally being in great company with lots to learn. Sadly Niloofar was not around when I visited but I hope to join them again in the near future, and… read more

Fumina was a fantastic guest, easy going, fun, adaptable, hard working, and overall a pleasure to have around. Her experience with us was very short but highly positive, and we'd wish to repeat it soon if possible!

Was a brilliant host, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. My stay was heavily focused on a cultural exchange and there was a lot of freedom to craft our days to accommodate the things we were most interested in. I of course learnt about the tree farm, but also the history between Japan and Korea, attempted to learn some hangul (!) and… read more

The activities at this farm are varied which is great from both a learning and engagement perspective. Both Mike and Nick were happy to share all of their expertise and discuss new ideas, especially if you have lots of questions to ask! While at the farm we prepared new land for farming, harvested lots of fruit and veg, sowed seeds, looked after… read more
