Travelling
Description
I am a maker at heart, trained to be a furniture/cabinet maker after a diploma of clothing and textiles. I taught myself to crochet/knit/spoon carve/pickle/bake. Love a good cup of coffee or a glass of wine as much as a shared meal, an open fire or a hard days work.

I am motivated by a desire to be on the healing side of life, to live in accordance to nature rather than dominate the landscape wherever I go.
I am happiest working on projects for people I know, using repurposed or recycled materials.

More details about your skills
I have woodworking and repair skills. Sewing and crafting skills too.
I can cook and clean, an excellent organizer and pretty good with spreadsheets too.
Can lift a decent amount of weight, my job was cabinet making so I have carried many a heavy object up the tiniest of stairwells, ensuring it doesn't scratch the walls.
Age
36
What else ...
I like to host pot luck and board games nights because I really enjoy the social aspects of sharing food, playing and teaching people new games.

Hosting Kate was simply amazing. She helped me with the reorganization of a working area and made fantastic things with all the available natural materials we could find.

Alessandro is a joyful and knowledgeable person to be around. His place is very peaceful and comfortable, a great place to explore Sciacca from. I enjoyed working on his projects, using all the natural, available materials.

Kate is a wonderful workawayer. She is full of great ideas and is happy to do the hard work. Her woodworking skills were very helpful when we built a platform and a bed, also the pallet couch she made is fantastic.
She kept the house clean and organised while she was here, it was very easy to host her. We hope to welcome her back soon.

The land is full of limestone rock formations, olive trees and surrounded by natural forest, such a beautiful, relaxing place to be. Itri is a wonderful little town near many beautiful beaches, castles and caves.
