Description

Hi everyone,
I am Isabella from Italy, 29 years old.

I have been an activist and participant in a collective community-farming project near Florence, in a very big agroecological farm with olive trees, vineyards, chicken, pigs, a vegetable garden, bees and many other activities. We were producing many organic products, such as wine, extra vergin olive oil, honey and bread for our self consumption, selling our products in local farmers markets in Florence.

I was professional baker at the farm, I love baking sourdough bread and focaccia!
I love nature and farming, travelling, camping into the wild for weeks, being part of communities, partying, singing, and most of all, cooking!

I have been traveling the world by bicycle since two years now, mostly with my partner. I started my journey from Italy, than Greece and cycled all the way to South East Asia.

I am looking for opportunities in community projects and/or farming to take a brake from cycling and spend some time in a peaceful and natural environment with other people. I'd like to have some home and family feeling after so much time on the road.
I am missing farming and some grounding in a place for more than a week.

During my long journey I always tried to get to know local culture and food, exploring beyond the most known areas. I am a curious and genuine person :)

I am very sociable and adaptable to many tasks, simple accommodation and lifestyle (I mostly live in my tent!).

I am looking forward to contribute to your projects and bring some good vibes and skills (plus some delicious Italian cuisine!!!)

What else ...

I love singing. I have a thing for jazz and jam sessions.
I like watching good movies in company, cook for my friends, organise dinners and parties, bake cakes or bread on rainy days, hiking, sitting around a fire in the evening while playing some music.

I like painting, drawing and creative activities.
I love to go foraging edible herbs and wild plants for home made herbal tea, work in the garden and outdoor activities.

My ideal life is community life in the countryside, working towards self-sufficiency, zero waste, taking good care of the surrounding environment and nature.
I believe Nature and biodiversity need healing from human-caused pollution. Organic farming can be a key solution to start this urgent healing process. Bringing back biodiversity of crops, animals and healthy ecosystems.
