Description
I will be working in Italy until July 21st and I'm looking for a 2-week volunteering opportunity in Italy to do after that. It has to be somewhere somehow reachable by public transportation since I can't drive.

I am into nature, languages, photography, watercolours, foraging food, cooking,... I'm sure the list could go on and also change with time. I speak English, some Italian and some German. Plus, Spanish, my mother tongue,

I have volunteered many times (some of them through Workaway): translating for a horses rescue centre in the South of Spain, giving a hand to a family moving out in Brisbane, helping in an organic farm in South Australia, organising events, working in a vegan kitchen and as a waitress in a social restaurant in New South Wales, painting murals in a school in Portugal,... and I might be forgetting some others.

I didn't stay long, just around 10 days, but anyway finding this family was a stroke of luck. I mostly spent time with the youngest one, River, such a teacher. The family is very welcoming and open-minded, kids are very used to having workawayers at home and speak several languages. It was a pleasure to be hosted by you.
