Description

Hello!

We are, Sandra and Greg a mature Australian couple seeking a meaningful and wholesome adventure this year.
Sandra is in the wine industry and Greg is a business coach and together we share
a genuine love of travel, good food and enjoy exploring new cultures, learning about history and forming genuine connections with the local people.
We don't see ourselves as ticking off landmarks, but as travellers who prefer to immerse ourselves in a place , contribute where we can and truly understand local life.
Through our careers, we have developed strong problem solving skills, with a natural ability to help people feel comfortable and at ease.
We both genuinely love spending time with and caring for animals, and feel very at home in rural and farm environments.
Sandra has a real passion for cooking , we both take great pleasure in sharing meals and experiences around the table.
Greg brings practical, mechanical, and home and garden maintenance skills,
with a calm hands on approach to solving every day challenges.
Sandra has previously participated in Workaway experiences and loved the sense of connection and purpose it created- Caring for farm animals, helping with harvesting, mowing, cleaning and tidying, cooking and generally pitching in wherever needed.
Italy holds a special place for us through Sandra's heritage and we're excited to explore the eastern regions of the country in a way that feels authentic, learning from our hosts, contributing where we can, learning as we go, and connecting with the land, culture and local community.
We're friendly, adaptable and we'd love the opportunity to connect and see how we might support your project.
