Travel information

I am currently

Description

Update July 2023:
I will leave at the end of August 2023 from Copenhagen, where I live, and will travel by car for 3 months, direction Italy.
I am looking for the opportunity to share work experiences in nature, sharing with people in general. Italians yes, I would also like to meet people of various origins. I would like to do activities in nature, in community, play, take care of people and animals, learn artistic works. Gardening, harvesting, pet care, painting, much more.

In September I would like to stay near the sea. I would like to help where needed in exchange for room and food. From picking grapes, figs in late summer, to chestnuts and concluding my journey after olives season. I'm also looking for working with olive picking.
More about me you can you read in my profile below.

2022:
I come originally from Rome and I'm 54 (just turned 55 - 2023 update). I left Italy at the age of 20, 'backpacked' and lived 8 years in Southeast Asia, 6 of which in Bali. I went to Balinese dance, music and wood curving courses while I made my living by (mostly) exporting the beautiful Balinese handicraft, clothing and jewellery for companies around the world.
I moved to Europe again towards the end of the 90's and lived between France and Italy for a couple of years until I moved to Copenhagen (2000) with my, at that time, little daughter.

Contributing to common needs gives me a larger sense of life, a bigger motivation to be the best part of myself and do the best for the community. Being together and having a common and noble project gives me more energy to do and the creativity to give something more.
I naturally share the values of environmental biodynamics, respect for all beings and I work for healthy relationships. I'm an active environment's friend, as much as it is possible to be, in the small space I occupy, in our society.
I like to be physically active, I can be a good motivator as well as a determined worker.
Manual, physical work like cooking, gardening (weeding, planting, harvesting), animal care, use of machines for drilling, hammering, cutting, etc, and organizational work (papers and computer), administration, logistic, group guiding, as well as good mood, action or tranquillity depending on the needs, are some of the things I can offer.
I'm open, sociable and curious, I like learning and also to contribute with my skills and competences.
There is a part of me that need and like to contemplate nature and be quite.

More details about your skills

I have a large spectrum of life and working experiences and personal competences like organizing, optimizing, simplifying, make space and work effectively.
I privilege quality to quantity.
I'm a good motivator.

My culinary ability spans from European to Asian food and basically healthy food, but not necessarily. I can also make intolerance-free food, vegetarian, vegan and my own creative dishes.

Land and animals:
Anything from weeding to harvesting and whatever may arise in the process. Gardening.
Animal care (and animal welfare):
I love and have a special relation to home animals like dogs and cats. Routineer with chickens. I have now a little experience with sheep, goats and a donkey. I'd really love to get to know horses better and other big animals as well.

Organisation:
I have a great panoramic as well a good eye for details, organisational abilities both in office and in the kitchen as well as with groups of people, logistic, etc.

I am a communicative person, I speak 3 languages fluently and two more languages quite good, like French fx.

Social and health assistance is also among my competences with many years of experience. I have a good understanding for problems that can occur with age. Great hygienic, which I've learn (through courses) both in health branch and in relation to cooking jobs.

Children: I have good experience with small human as well, both caring and cooking for them in nurseries.

Body-mind-spirit health:
In most recently years, I have worked independently again after a long self development engagement. Consequently I took professional training as:
*(life)Coach (for people who need to find and regain themselves or just need a support to clear their mind and take action)
*Ayurvedic counsellor for improving sleeping and quality of life (in a practical holistic way)
*Facilitator for groups practicing an activity which I call "the yoga of relation", relation to oneself and of course to others, the name of which is Circling (it includes mindfulness).

I usually create my own deodorant, body and face oil, I have a passion for aromatherapy.
Years ago, I made a small production of jams, dried herbs, vegetables in jars that I sold to yoga school, friends and neighbours, I collected and dried medical herbs as well. I still do but not for sell.
Food preserves, which are coming from local natural products, and that I've possibly collected myself, is a branch for which I have a big passion and that I'm developing again.

I care for others and common spaces, which I leave clean and ready to use.

Age

55

What else ...

Yoga and meditation are activities which I'd like to pick up again to a different plan. At the moment I practice them a little, it could be more regular.
I love to dance, move my body and be active, I usually like joining 5 rhythms sessions, sometimes contact improvisation. I'm not a musician but I am musical and like to join jam sessions and go to concert.
If I get inspired or stimulated I like to paint.
I love gardening and observe and dive in the beauty of nature.
