Description

Hello world!
I am a traveller from Italy with experience in off-grid community living, permaculture with hands-on practice in agroforestry system and organic market garden.
I have worked and volunteered in agricultural seasons for over 8 years, both pruning and harvesting (grapes, apples, avocados, olives). I have knowledge in regenerative agriculture; seeds nursery, composting, preparing vegetable beds.
I believe in the importance of applying permaculture's principles both in the social aspects of people's care and fair share and in the sustainable aspect of earth care.

I'm really into natural building (it has been my main activity for the past 3 years) with different techniques: wattle and daub, straw clay, earthbags, abobe bricks, lime & earthen plaster and tadelak. I really like artistic plastering sculpting and had experimented a bit.
Interested to work more with wood and carpentery.

I like to discover the rural life when travelling, connecting with people that love nature and have a dream or a project through a more self sufficient life style, creating a network of sustainable practices.

Happily vegan, I believe in the positive impact we can have on our planet, the reason why I would love to deepen my knowledge about plants and natural environment. I'm intersted in foraging, edible and medicinal herbs and looking forward to expand and share knowledge on botanics!

I like to cook vegan dishes and experiment different recipies and I will gladly cook for my hosts if wanted :)

As I have experience community living, I consider myself a person whose able to respect and listen, careful and empathic.
