Description
Hello, we are a couple who lives in the south of Italy. We do artistic and craft works. We invent and act theater plays in the schools and other public places. We like to express ourselves in any way and to know new people and ways to live.
We try to respect people, nature and things.
We like nature very much and spend a lot of time in the nearby countryside, picking herbs for tea or to heal ourselves. We make jams and dry fruits for winter time and make our own bread with home made mother yeast once a week.
We are very curious of everything. We read a lot, like to see nice and interesting films, to travel, to participate to local culture feasts, theater plays, having conversation with other people, working together and exchanging experiences...

Age

What else ...
we are very careful in sparing the natural resources. We have a great experience in recycling materials and old objects, transforming them in nice looking things or simply useful things. (Mainly in summer we use sun ovens to cook; we have built them with very simple materials and they work o.k).
We use the car only if it is necessary, we walk a lot and use bicycles.
We have traveled in different places in Europe, Asia, South America and Africa, always by our own means and using local transports. But it is the second time we use work away, and it seems to us a good way to discover other cultures from nearby.
We adapt ourselves very easily in any circumstances.
We prefer simple things, in the relationships and the way of living.
We believe in positive thoughts and energies and it seems important to us to spread the joy of life instead of the bad mood.

Dani et Felice sont des personnes rares. Leur manière d'être au monde et dans la relation à la nature, aux autres, a fait de notre expérience commune à la maison et au terrain un vrai moment de partage et d'humanité. Et ils ont laissé leur empreinte au terrain à travers leur travail et leur réalisation. j'espère que l'on restera en lien !

Nous sommes restés avec Muriel du 28 novembre au 9 décembre.
Les premiers jours nous ont permis de nous comprendre, de nous apprivoiser. Mais dès que la perception de quelque chose d'indéfinissable nous a unis, naturellement, le temps s'est écoulé trop vite pour pouvoir "goûter " pleinement de notre rencontre.
La maison de Muriel est très… read more

Adesso, per noi, dire Sardegna, dire Orgosolo, è pensare a Rosa e alle tante belle persone che ci ha fatto conoscere.
È stata una grande fortuna incontrare Rosa,la sua vita quotidiana, la sua ospitalità.
È nata fra noi un'amicizia sincera e semplice.
Attraverso lei si è creato un legame sottile ma profondo con la sua terra e la storia di questo… read more

Anna, Bram, Lupe and Mohan are very pleasant people to live with. In their home we have breath good and pacific air. We have met the whole family and each person individually.
We have felt at home very soon and after a little time there was a lot of confidence among us.
We have tried to do some work that could improve life in their old brick and… read more

Dani and Felice spent two weeks with us earlier this summer and generously shared their skills and experience with us. They helped with a wide variety of tasks from the hard physical work of clearing neglected fences to erecting a rustic pergola and repairing an antique table.

We have had a beautiful and deep meeting with Jean and Gerry. There are very welcoming and we have appreciated their nice and simple way to care about us. They both have that great quality to listen. It has been nice to work together with them being companions for a fortnight and sharing our opinions and dreams.

The very soon feeling of being invited to enter in Breda's world respecting the spaces and the persons in it or around, and at the same time being highly respected has given a precious atmosphere along the days spent together.
We also were free to organize ourselves in work and leisure.

We essentially have tried to re-organize some rooms and all… read more

The days at Sofia's flea market shop pass away very fast. We have arrived when spaces and materials, objects and clothes had to be reorganized to make the work easier. So each volunteer had to express his or her skills( we were 8 or 9 people).We both have done things we never did before, it has been a good challenge. Each one finds his own role.… read more

We are very happy if we could share a new horizon！I am grateful that they decided to choose us and we really spent time with us.
They thought of helping us. For example, they make toilet walls with wood, restore the floor.
I would like them to see how our house, farmland and ourselves changed in a few years.I feel like they are our cheering… read more

The time spent in Miki san's and Hiro san's house has flown away very quickly and it has left the sign of a great and deep experience.
They have projects and aspirations too big for both of them, but with their strong faith in such projects and the collaboration of many other people passing by in their life, many dreams will surely become… read more reality.
Their house is opened to anybody wishing to share their daily life ( in these days, because of some works to fix the house, cold winds and a cheeky cat also benefit impudently of it...).
Besides Hiro, Miky, Aka and Saka (their two children), we have met other volunteers coming from different parts of the world and interesting and friendly exchanges have born. We surely will cultivate them in the future.
There was a nice atmosphere in the group and solidarity among everybody also during work.
Work has been varied. In the month of November we have had to do much with bambous, with the powerful and and tangled forest. We also have done different works to fix and improve the house: to isolate, to panel the walls with wood, to do the floor of the future kitchen with beaten ground...
A lot of space was left to personal initiative with a constant invitation to become part of the commune project, giving trust in each one's capabilities.
We appreciated Miky's and Hiro's attention to the personal interests of the volunteers-guests: we have been together in a public school and also in an experimental school in the forest, we have attended a short course on bio dynamical agriculture in a organic farm.
They have given us the opportunity to meet valid local craftsmen and other people with whom we have had rich meetings.
Personally they have helped us to better organize and to enrich our trip in the Yamaguchi prefecture after our stay in their home.
In all this whirl of things, a few times we have felt in Hiro and Miky a kind of loss of energy but they have soon reacted to go on with new enthusiasms.
Aka and Saka, with their fresh tenderness are always very important in all this.
Of course, cohabitations are not always easy and obvious: misunderstandings, disagreements and uneasiness can rise and sometimes they are not easy to resolve, but generally, through each one's effort, these moments can also be crossed and the boat goes on sailing. The trip is worth it.
We are happy about this experience. It has taught us a lot and it has opened us new horizons.
We wish to say a special "ARIGATO" to those two beautiful persons and we wish them to go on on the path they have undertaken. We really would be very glad to meet again to go deeper in our exchange.
We also want to say a particular thank you to all the other companions of these days.
Felice and Dani
