Queer and vegan in rural Sardinia, Italy

  Descripción

  Hello! I'm Marcello, a Sardinian who has found his way back to the charming village of Sorradile, nestled beside the serene Omodeo Lake, after spending many years abroad. I identify as vegan and queer, and I share my cozy, rock-built home with my beloved dog, Keffir and sometimes with some friends. The house, though old, is filled with warmth and sits amidst a lovely small garden, providing a peaceful retreat that resonates with my love for a slow and nature-filled lifestyle.
  
  I am deeply passionate about food that I consider a huge tool for social transformation. I love fermenting and create excellent vegan cheeses and it's something I've been doing for the last 10 years.
  Living in a town with just 350 people, my life here is divided between many hours of work and little to no free time.
  Other friends live in the same village, some of them teaching yoga and others are musicians. This area, like many rural areas in the island, has experienced significant depopulation over the years. However, I believe in renewal and possibilities, striving to invigorate our rural town with new people, new energy and opportunities.
  
  I cherish the rurality and I enjoy my solo time, the connection with nature, and the slower pace that this area offers.
  But I also love travelling abroad, organising events, partying, dancing, feeling vibrant and showing up in life with the people I love.
  I am always eager to connect with like-minded individuals who are curious, independent, open, honest, enthusiastic about living fully and open to experiences.
  
  My curiosity and wide range of interests have led me to gather many experiences along my path. However, I'm constantly open to unlearn, re-learn, re-invest and meeting unexpected different versions of myself that I would have never expected.

  I am looking for: vegan, queer, motivated, responsible but most important independent individuals who are respectful and willing to engage in various tasks in my house. No prior experience is necessary for most of the tasks – just a willingness to learn and participate actively in our daily routines.
  
  What I Need Help With:
  Gardening: My small garden is one of my sanctuaries, and I need help maintaining and developing it. Whether you have a green thumb or are eager to learn, there’s always plenty to do – from planting to weeding, fixing some stuff and general upkeep.
  House Maintenance: Living in an old house means there’s always a hinge to fix or a wall that needs care. I’m looking for helpers who can assist with small repair works and renovations to keep the house cozy and functional.
  Whitewashing: To keep the house looking fresh and bright, I need help with painting and whitewashing. It’s a great way to transform the space and contribute to preserving the charm of my home.
  Food Preparation: Participating with me in creating our plant-based meals with excellent ingredients
  Event Assistance: From time to time, we host small free community events to promote queerness, rurality and vegan lifestyle. Assistance in organizing, setting up, and managing these events would be greatly appreciated.
  
  In exchange for your help, I offer accommodation in my cozy home, vegan meals and a chance to relax and chill.
  I'm very busy with work at the moment so this is a perfect setup for someone independent who loves nature and enjoys a rural lifestyle. I'm home just for lunch and dinners, the rest of the time I work nearby.
  
  If this sounds like the kind of experience you’re looking for, I would love to hear from you! Let’s connect and discuss how we can work together to make a meaningful and enjoyable exchange.

  Alojamiento

  During your stay with us in Sorradile, you'll be accommodated in a simple and serene setting that reflects the tranquil nature of our surroundings. You will have your own quiet room in my cozy, rock-built house. The room is furnished with a comfortable double bed, ensuring you have a private and restful space to retreat to after a day's activities.

  Algo más...

  During your time off, you'll find that Sorradile and its surroundings offer plenty to explore and enjoy. This quaint town, nestled beside the expansive Omodeo Lake, provides a stunning backdrop for numerous outdoor activities. You can take leisurely walks along the lakeside, go hiking in the nearby hills to catch breathtaking panoramic views, or engage in bird watching and photography to capture the natural beauty of this serene landscape.
  
  For those interested in cultural experiences, the area is rich with history. You can visit ancient ruins and small museums that tell the story of Sardinia's past. The town itself, with its narrow, winding streets and traditional stone houses, exudes a charm that invites leisurely exploration.
  
  When you wish to venture further, the local transport options can take you to nearby cities and towns. Regular bus services are available, though they might be infrequent, reflecting the laid-back pace of life here. Having or renting a car is highly recommended since I don't have much free time at the moment, giving you more flexibility and allow you to visit other notable sights on the island, such as the beautiful beaches of the Sardinian coast (40min drive), vibrant local markets, and other historical sites.

  Podría aceptar mascotas

  I share my home with my beloved blind dog, Keffir, who brings immense joy to my life. Because of his condition, I need to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for him. Therefore, while I love animals, my ability to host guests with pets depends on the nature of the pet and how well it can coexist with Keffir. I appreciate your understanding and consideration in this matter to help keep my furry friend happy and secure.
