Description
Hello ! I am Michael from Australia currently living/studying in Molise , Italy. I have been traveling for 9 months in Italy and now would like to help and learn on a farming / sustainability project , DIY task or Animal care project in any region.

In Australia I work in the electrical construction industry building infrastructure for mining companies.Please note I am not an electrician .

I can use hand and power tools , help with building and renovating , painting and would love to learn some traditional Italian farming techniques as I have land back home in Australia that I would like to turn into a small food farm when I return home (probably Sept 2025).
I’m very easy going and would love to have people that I can speak Italian with to help improve my beginner Italian. I would be very happy to help with your English also.
