Description

Hi everyone! We are a young and curious couple from Italy looking for a place in which we can be useful and bring positive energy, together with our skills and hands. We're willing to meet like-minded people, sharing stories, experiences and emotions.
We like outdoor activities, adventures and creative spaces!

Greta:
I'm Greta, a 26-year-old designer and illustrator originally from a small town in Central Italy. I’m currently based in Bolzano, South Tyrol, where I studied eco-social design and work as a freelance graphic designer. I also co-run a cultural association that organizes grassroots, community-centered events – mostly around music and shared creativity.

I’m really drawn to rural life and love being in spaces where different people, cultures, and skills come together to learn from one another. Over the past few years, I’ve taken part in hands-on collective projects across Europe, which deepened my passion for landscapes, local communities, and storytelling.

I’m a curious, open-minded person who enjoys being part of collectives and meaningful initiatives, especially when they foster connection, creativity, and learning.

Marino:
My name is Marino, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Italy. I was born in Naples but I grew up in Turin. After studying photography, I started working in the film industry as a camera operator. I really enjoy my job, but every now and then I feel the need to take a break and focus on simpler, hands-on experiences—being around people, animals, and nature.

Over the past few years, I’ve volunteered in several European countries, including at animal sanctuaries (Tenerife Horse Rescue). Animals—especially dogs—have always been a big part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and cats, and until recently, I shared my life with two amazing dogs.

I love meeting new people, discovering new places, and learning something from every experience.

More details about my language interests
We both studied languages in high school, which gave us a solid foundation to connect with different cultures—whether at work or in school. Living in an international environment, we get to use our language skills every day. We’re always curious to learn new languages and cultures, and to keep improving the ones we already know. We truly believe language has the power to break down barriers.

More details about your skills

Greta:
I bring a mix of visual design and research skills, especially in collaborative and community-based contexts. Alongside my work as a freelance graphic designer, I love contributing through everyday, hands-on activities – from cooking and gardening to caring for shared spaces and creating welcoming environments.

I speak five languages, have a driver’s license, and have had great experiences living with dogs and in co-living settings. I'm always eager to learn new things, share what I know, and support projects that bring people together through creativity and cooperation.

Marino:
I’ve gathered a variety of skills over the years, both through work and life experiences. I love cooking and really enjoy experimenting with recipes from different cultures—sharing meals is one of my favorite ways to connect with people. I worked in hospitality for almost 10 years as a waiter and bartender, so I’m comfortable in fast-paced environments and know how to work well in a team.

In my professional life, I have a solid knowledge of video editing and color correction, and I’m also really into analog photography, which I often explore in my free time. I speak five languages, which has helped me a lot while traveling and adapting to new situations. I have a driver’s license and I’m not afraid to get my hands dirty—whether it’s working with animals, gardening, or any kind of physical task, I’m happy to help out wherever needed.
