Description
One day, I will find that part-time job, that allows me to travel using workaway, without having to worry about silly things, such as health and unemployment insurance. Until then, I will try to combine it with my work at the European Citizen Science Association (ecsa.ngo).

I care deeply about the environment, humanity and the intrinsic bond between the two. For me, exchange is the best way to learn, and I'm always happy to share skills :) I have taken part in several international projects and hosted two myself.

Workaway has become an important part of my life. It allowed me to explore different forms of living, learn new skills and connect with the most lovely people. I am happy to stay with hosts, who share the same workaway-spirit!

Leo is sweet smart and kind. Very curious to learn and discover and a great help in the daily work. She is also a great company and a sober mind when we had deep conversation. I highly recommend to host her! And hope to see her again

I had a truly wonderful experience at Salvatore's. He's not just an experienced host, but a fun person with a calm energy. I recommend to stay with him for at least three weeks because two passed by too quickly... His place is marvellous! You can hear the river and waterfalls from his house, which are perfect to refresh. In the evening you get to… read more

Sebastian is really considerate, flexible and open to ideas. Because he has a lot of projects going on, he is not always at the campsite but tries to give out tasks throughout the day. Also, he's always just a phone call away if you need anything.

My tasks were to water the plants and clean up the area after children's parties. I also had the… read more

Leo is a kind, caring and discreet person. She is always available even just to have a chat and cheer up the sultry days. We spent two great weeks together, cooked together, explored the area and talked a lot. Leo is so a gentle-temperament that even our animals immediately adored her. She is also a hard worker, super energetic, very curious to… read more

To anyone considering, I can only wholeheartedly recommend joining Dimitry and Sara! From the first day, the two have been so accommodating and fun to be around, making me feel like home immediately. Every lunch and dinner, we had really interesting discussions and they could tell me a lot about Sicilian customs, while providing me with delicious… read more

To me, Erasmo is the perfect host. He organised several trips, made sure we had fun during work, and cooked delicious meals while sharing fun facts about his work, medieval history, spirituality and his life. Already on my first evening, I was picked up and invited to Pizza directly next to the temples of Paestum. Erasmo is interested in teaching… read more

I had a great time there :) Vale and Alberto are really sweet and have already achieved so much with their project!
The work varied from day to day, depending on the weather and the priorities. This allowed me to do a lot of different tasks, such as watering the plants in a truly gorgeous mountaneous landscape, constructing raised beds from wood… read more

You should first read the feedback Leone left on her experience in our place. Her tips are really good and they will help us in our future experience with other workawayers. We will definitely select people who are really experienced and really interested in our naturalistic mediterranean art and botanical garden. Communication with her started on… read more

I think under different circumstances I could have had a more enjoyable time with Elisa and Hans-Hermann. In order for future volunteers to have that chance, here are some tips:

1) Elisa is a perfectionist. It explains why the garden looks insanely beautiful but it also means that she has quite high standards as to what people ought to know and… read more

Lao’s attitude, understanding and approach to both the work and cultural life on the farm was really great - the ideal standard I wish all workawayer's could have. Due to an abnormal heat wave, workawayers were given the freedom to decide their working hours. In true country life style, Leo would try to be up at dawn to take advantage of the… read more

I had a brilliant time at Shakeeb's Matera Natura! Although he has only started a year ago, he is organized and experienced with hosting workawayers. The same way he wants nature to regulate itself in his orta, he gives a lot of freedom to volunteers in terms of work, household maintenance and freetime. He often drove us to the surrounding… read more

Leo volunteered at the place for 2 months and we shared an amazing time together!

There's not much I can say other than thank you so much for providing me with such a sweet and caring family for the past 2 months! ❤️ The Chateau is such a unique location, not just because of its magnificent interior and exterior but even more because of the people living inside of it.
