Description
Last minute checked for Italy, from Agropoli to / and around Rome radius cca 100 + km, except Napoli metropolitan area.

I know that this should be a polished marketing profile, but I prefer to say the truth (and many times people do not like the truth).

Looking for positive and friendly people, nature, good vibrations. I think that on this planet is enough space for everyone, even if we do not agree on all subjects. With calm, respect, communication, compassion / empathy we can solve almost everything!

So, we start a new chapter in our life, we will relocate to Mediterana, where we dream of our land with organic healthy food, permaculture, food forest, passive house, sea and mountain ... , but we don't know yet the country :)). So, we search, try and experience behind the pictures and movies which are all great about!

And... dear hosts :)... when you choosed to be a member of this website - community, sustained by workaweyers, it is supposed that you are a good person, educated and so on... only good stuff :)).
So, if you receive a message and click on it is supposed to answer with a simple no or if you have 20 more seconds to say wtvr you want. You are free to refuse people based on race, nationality, gender, child or wtvr. Let's make this site better, be more fair play to travellers - as long as you can ask wrkwrs to be this and that and do and be entitled of nothing :)). Also it is not hard to modify your calendar when you are full or you do not want people.
We will look also for a team of football or companions as my child wants to continue training on this long and slow journey. Interested also in homeschooling, Montessori / Waldorf, other alternative learning, nonviolent communication.

More details about your skills
Almost all we need in life :). Gardening, fruit trees (also olive trees) pruning, building with all that it is needed, kids, computers...
Age
46
What else ...
I don't work anymore with products that are harmfull to health / toxic, paint with substances with high VOC, I avoid mixing cement based powders.
We were volunteering in october 2025 in Istria, mostly picking olives and in december in Kefalonia pruning olives, In 2026 in Puglia gardening ,chickens, dogs, etc. and in Basilicata dogs, grass trimming and other stuff. I was 10 years ago in wrkw in Spain, I stayed 8 months in one place and 3 in other in 2 caravans with compost toilet with straw and in an apartment. I helped at a straw bale / cob house, gardening, taking care of a horse and houses. I worked in Norway for 2 months doing painting, floors, insulation, table serving, occasionally rooms cleaning and more. I worked sometimes full days in a row and than have 3+ days off for visiting.
We are flexible about arrival and departure and if we have veggies, fruits some eggs maybe some yogurt and oat flakes for example we can manage by ourselves no need for someone to cook. Just inform us in time what you wish in all aspects :).
We don"t like venomous snakes, scorpions and tarantulas :)) .
We try to learn and apply mushroom foraging when close to the forests, maybe we can learn to swim, we like to bike, we try to see as much as we can from the Mediteranean coast and beaches. We are as one and we occupy just one bed.
Thanks for Zoran (Istria) who hosted us 2 weeks out of more than 23 hosts (and more than 50 messages) contacted on our croatian road... most of them not even replying ... Also thanks to Sabina and Ekaterini the fastest answers record :) - few minutes! For Italy, to Rosemary and Fabio in the south out of 100+ hosts contacted (most of them not answering, having calendar green instead of red or lying) Thank you!

You could not find a more polite, conscientious, hard working and quiet helper. It was a pleasure to host Georgian and his son Damian and we are very pleased and grateful for the help they provided. We were impressed by his commitment to a lifestyle based on minimum impact on the environment.

Great souls, educated, calm and serene. Still hope for humanity. I am sorry that I found at the end that you read so much, I will send you more books on email :), you don't need to search for them many years from now :). Beautifull landscapes, hills, countryside, silence and sometime wind, that you will love in the summer. For the beach, the small… read more

George and little Damian joined us for a couple of months, we got on very well and mutually adapted in a successful way. George took care of chickens, dogs and cats, gardening and seeding of new crops, house maintainance and small construction, little works...everything with patience, care and presence. George uses an educational method we aspire… read more

Well... We stayed at Judith and Fabio's farm 10 + weeks, from 1st feb to 15th of april 2026. First week we felt it like one day!:) 2nd... 2 days:)) And so on. Overall it was a good experience for us, we liked the most gardening and to put seeds of so many vegetables / legumes (I evaluated again, there are more like 1500-2000 plants in seedling… read more tray, boxes and pots, not 1000, so you need some time to continue transplanting seedlings, sorry :)) ), to take care of chickens and goose Wenda and of course the new chicks - Pol and Peto, Blackie and Decker, Cookie and Brownie, plus Piulica :) which are part of our souls now and look very similar with some of our purebred chickens we had some years ago (even in attitude... geee). Hopefully they will not be eaten too soon by Aria and Rino...

We did also pruning and cleared a pathway of cca 70 m, stones removing from a dry wall, some inside bathroom construction, took care of dogs etc.

Very good that at farm you can find some shoes and clothes for work as it is difficult for volunteers to get in planes and other transport too much luggage from which only good working shoes to be 2-3 kg...
What else... There are 2 bikes to go to Santeramo, aprox 20 min with some up and down, until the entrance of town when you will have a steep hill :D. You cannot go to Matera, Alberobello, Altamura, Monopoli or Gioia by bus in reasonable time, as they have a beep schedule. Nice area, a lot of green in spring and winter, definitely not most beautifull :-P (Matera is a positive surprise in old center, also Alberobello). In one evening a wild pig crossed my way at few meters on the road. Foxes and lizards around. Special mention for our colleague Cristina who was almost all time happy and made us more sunny days especiallly when it rains and took us to beautifull trips. You've got what it takes to be a true host and I hope soon you will have your place to be :). Also tanks to Judith for her tender soul and concern.
More... I really hope that in the near future, especially for your Princess, you will be 100% real organic, that means also no gmo to chickens :-P and to save or buy your eco seeds, food etc., because you have the meanings / resources to do that. Maybe next months new volunteers can do 2 more doors to rooms to keep the wind and cold away for next winter, maybe you will also help and give them time to dry and solve the problem of the rain not to advance deeper to that corner wall - which will keep your rooms with black mold ceilings much more time, even volunteers will keep painting like I did...

Something else... solving the fireplace from first room / kitchen which put 70-80% heat away and some smoke inside (and help people to get pulmonary desease in the longterm - most of them do not know or do not care, but you are on another level now). And of course burning fire for nothing, branches to do more pollution is from the last century, we have now methods to solve that in another way (for ex. leave them, put them under soil, electric shredder ). Less plastic - aka microplastic / VOC, less diesel and gasoline. Remember that we do not take with us nothing to the other world, especially money and after 38-40 years of age you have the sun at your back, not in front of you like before. We can make a better world for the less and less kids that are coming! Wish you all happy life!

We went at Korina in december with idea to stay until at least begining of january 2026. We met Korina in front of Lidl, near Argostoli and she was very nice. Next day it was a liitle bit rainy so she said to be relaxed and this was also very rare in people :). After that I started cleaning the olives around roots and up as they were full of… read more

We stayed at Zoran 2 weeks in october 2025 and over all it was an ok experience for us, as we are adapted to.
The best points:
The good soul Zoran took us from trainstation and also when we left he was very kind to drive us to Pula at hostel. We had bikes and we went to Pula 3 times in 2 weeks. We had fruits (apples, pears) for morning (and… read more last days + jujula) and almost every evening food cooked by Zoran. We also had potatoes and pasta few times to cook ourselfs. We did 2 days clearing tomato plants, aeration of soil - prepare the plot for next cultivation, 5 days picking olives (with wrkws Miranda and James also - they made time more enjoyable and funny) and few days we cleared gras from other parts and helping to put glass doors for future greenhouse.

He responded on emails and sms es and after some minor misunderstandings we comunicate very well. He is calm and relaxed about work - usually we started at 10.

The profile need updates so I will point some ideas to have a better image to know if it will suit you.

Things that can be much better :D:). The plot is full around of materials and stuff (much more that an wrkw said few years ago in a feedback) and most incovenient in my opinion are polyurethanic panels that lay in the sun and do dust that polute the plot and environement (such a pity for your beautifull land). Also a lot of plastics and polystyrene doing micloplastics and other negative stuff and also many, many tyres - some people love tyres :) -such a pity again for garden land and olives... The mosquitos… 20+ bytes in first day :)), than it was easier as weather became colder and they probably went to sleep.. but not all of them of course. And they have a paradise there as everywhere are buckets with standing water and places like mini swamps – and Zoran do nothing about as he is immune to them or they love him :)))... . The caravans need some updates. In one night a rat was very hungy or something that between 2-6 in the morning started to eat cardboard of one of the boxes from the stuff in the caravan and was really noisy :))) and very very stubborn as he wasn't afraid that I will find him :)). No electricity (you can put the cables used for tools (if it is not raining), water or heating in the caravan, 2 of our 3 free days were in the rainy ones…

Some other points for info as some people do not care about or care too much :)): One "toilet" is near the plot, in the field near the trees, where you will dig a hole than cover it – also the best medical / natural position to poop (truly, not irony). The other one in a bad projected compost toilet with a plastic box beneath and too little space - it was sometime ago projected also with shower, but now is full with materials and useless or "must to be recycled” stuff. We didn't worked any specific permaculture projects and it wasn't a focus for garden and planting organic food. Nothing about natural building as it was in profle written 5-6 years ago. Cats to close to all dishes, I mean on the same table and when raining, water in outside kichen will go on the dishes from that roof. For some people without hepathitis A imunization toxoplasmoza or toxocara canis it can be an issue. Our last day it was theoretically free and we picked olives.

Other things good to know: The shower is near the sink of outside kitchen, in october water is really cold. There are 12 km maybe to Pula but 16-18 to the beaches so you will make 30 min biking until entrance of Pula and another 30 until first rocky beach. Some small segments you will need to be on national road. The villages roads are narrow and has no white lines or reflective points - cars every 2-3 minutes. When you come back it is almost all and constant uphill like 10-15% inclination, you will manage, but you will not be happy going everyday :D.

It is a place with such a big potential and it is a pitty that lack of motivation (which is understandable), time, force and lack of organisation are against.
I repeat, for us it was an ok experience, we learned something and we saw another point of view regarding course of life. For a more beautifull life, more fulfilled, more enjoyable and for the next generation I will say as an idea to accept more help for more wrkwrs because you have tremendous resources that you aren’t aware and they will do a more sustainable activity for you. They will cover their expenses by their work… Go full organic and read Glucose revolution, Lifespan, Metabolical ... it will add 10+ healthy years to your life and help others too – we have just one life! Wish you good luck, health and hapiness and thank you!
