    Update for July/August 2025:
    Most likely not taking on any workawayers during this time (except for those who I already said yes).

    Standard info:
    Hello, my name is Kelly. Originally from the US, I have lived in Italy for over 30 years now. I have 3 adult children; two live nearby and one lives in Tenerife. I have been a workawayer (also woofer, SCI/IVS, and similar type things) guest and host for many years.
    For the past 15 years, I have been a translator, working from home. The bad thing about working from home is that you (I) get used to the mess and don't see it anymore. The good thing is that I can travel and work.
    I enjoy dabbling in arts and crafty sorts of things - none of which I am good at, but I do have fun trying.

    Please note that I cannot help with getting residency here in Italy. It is a total hassle and comes with a bunch of rules and regulations and costs that I don't want to deal with. Thank you for understanding.

    The house is on the Ancona- Rome train line. The area is safe, the people are friendly, This is a very good spot to take a little break from your travels and recharge your batteries. If you are into outdoor sports, there are lots of rock climbers and cavers in the area.If you want to learn how to make pasta or bake pizza in the pizza oven, we can do that (these things depend on the weather and time). The nature around here is beautiful. If you are into arts and crafts, I have a number of things to play with like paint, polymer clay, wool, a sewing machine (but it needs some adjustments that I have failed to figure out) and some fabric to make things. There is a little bar right next to my house where the locals meet so if you are an extrovert and looking to learn some Italian, it is possible :) Feel free to drag your mattress out to the terrace and sleep under the stars. Now and again we have imprompto parties at my house, sometimes with live music. Of course you are welcome to join in and meet new people of all ages.

    The help requested is:
    - help me clean up, spiff up, de-clutter my house and the garden area. Maybe paint something.
    When you write to me, please let me know which part excites you most :)
    The inside part is basic and boring (but much appreciated); the garden is a little weeding and a lot of trimming things back (so you should be gardening confident - kinda know what you are doing).

    As you'd expect, pitching in with basic house stuff—like cleaning up after meals or giving the floor a sweep—is just part of living together.


    The best type of workawayer for my situation are people who are independent, have a good sense of humour, do not require constant supervision, and are basically able to figure things out.

    Important to note is that we (right now just me) do smoke in the house.

    Google "Grotte di Frasassi" to get an idea of the surroundings. The train station is about a 10-minute walk from my place. The closest (not the most beautiful) beach is 40 minutes on the train (make sure to buy tix online). The closest biggish town is Fabriano (home to the paper museum and bike museum and Saturday market). I have a bike that a couple workawayers have been fixing up. I think it is in the last stage of fixing the front brakes. If I get that sorted out you are welcome to use it.

    Unlimited wi-fi (unless you are synchronizing your google drive - that sucks up all the wi-fi when it is on - but it's a good excuse to get off the computer and do something else. I have a couple desks that can be moved to wherever you want.

    I do not have private parking but there is a flat parking area near my house.

    Maybe. If they are super chill (not barkers for example), don't eat the furniture, and you clean up after them it shouldn't be a problem.
