Description
Hello!!! My name is Giulia and I am 29 years old. I’m an architect from Italy.
I worked for 4 years as architect in Zurich, after that I worked as freelancer architect in Tanzania and now, since one year I am travelling and collecting experiences in natural building and permaculture visiting eco-villages and sustainable communities.
Me and my partner resumed our skills and past experiences in the following website:
olddoorsnewways.com

In October 2023 I attended the PDC (Permaculture Design Course).

I’m really interested in applying my knowledges in sustainable projects and permaculture design.
I would like to spend my days open air and in contact with nature.

I am an active, sporty person and I like physical work.
I’m an easy going and open minded girl who loves staying in the middle of nature, taking care of animals and plants. I like to bring my knowledge and my help to the others, sharing my time with them and learning other cultures.

The working shifts are very organized and vary so that everyone can approach different part of the farm life including the meals’ preparation.

During our month spent with Kate and Francois’s family we worked on the plastering and flooring of a 20 m2 cabine, experiencing and learning a lot about several natural mixes. We really appreciated that they gave us a lot of freedom concerning the aesthetic choices.
Since the beginning we really felt at home and welcomed from all the family and… read more
