Description

Hello!
I’m 19 years old and just got out of high school here in my town in Italy.
I haven’t traveled much, I’ve only been to a few European countries (for instance, to Austria, as my mom is from there), so I’ve decided to take a gap year to work and travel.
I’m currently working as a bartender.
I’ve been riding horses and living around nature and animals since I can remember, it’s always been my passion.
I love living off the grid, in isolated natural environments and in farms.
My goal is to build an eco-farm, finding ways to cultivate and breed without damaging the environment. That’s why I’d love to help out with projects like this: to exchange, learn and, as I get the chance, admire the many ways mother nature expresses herself in different regions than mine!
My travel buddy is going to be my very educated one year old border collie Sloppy Joe. He’s friendly with everyone: people, dogs and farm animals (he actually got chased by a rooster once)

More details about your skills

I can handle myself around farm animals in general, although I’ve mainly worked with horses and dogs (plus a few experiences with pigs and sheep).
I’d love to care for the garden: I’ve done it very few times as my family doesn’t have the space to have one, but I’m a fast learner and I’m eager to get on something new.
I’m comfortable with heavy work.

What else ...

I love hiking, especially with my dog, who’s gonna be my travel buddy: he’s a one year old border collie and he’s the gentlest creature on the planet. His name is Sloppy Joe.
I also own an arabian horse named Aragon (who’s gonna stay right where he is though). I’ve had him since he was a colt and I then trained him.
