  Descripción

  My friends describe me as a free thinker and tinkerer, during my life I have played key roles in many projects. Since my young age I have actively participated in free software development, community networks and in general I have been collaborating building a fairer world.
  
  When I was fourteen I have emigrated on my own from my native small town in Nebrodi mountains (Sicily) and started my world journey.
  Just turned 18 i have started studying Energy Engineering and graduated a few years
  later in Computer Science at University of Pisa.
  After living for some years in Barcelona outskirts, I have been a digital nomad for a few years.
  With all my travels and different experiences I have got a multidisciplinary knowledge, that I am now using to create an oasis for me, my extended family and willing friends, between the sea and the mountains of Sicily.

  Before I bought the property has been abandoned for about a decade, so there is many different things to do before it could be called an oasis. The soil is fertile and rich in water so it have been invaded by blackberry bushes, and the historic house need some work before being usable again. I have good knowledge to do most of the things that need to be done, so I can share it to anyone willing to learn to work together :-)
  
  I am currently working in:
  
  - Build some facilities to camp more comfortably (shower, kitchen, table...)
  - Remove a bunch of bushes
  - Plant a bunch of trees
  - Take care of the goats
  - Milking the goats
  - Improve the fencing so the goats doesn't eat neighbors plants ;-)
  - Improve the conditions of the historic house
  - Improve water management systems (pipes, storage...)
  - Improve telecommunication systems (WiFi...)
  - Create a shared office space
  - Drying, canning or other conservation methods for surplus fruit production
  - Cooking meals

  Alojamiento

  There is plenty of space to camp, I have tents and some camping equipment (blankets, pillow...) for the workawayers.
  
  Fresh water in present in the property, and I am working in water, electricity and WiFi installation for a more comfortable camping experience.
  
  We buy vegetables and fruits at the weekly market for the whole week, we usually
  don't have much time to cook due to the many things we need to do so we usually
  prepare kinds of food that doesn't take to much time to prepare, help with this
  is welcome too. We either buy bread in the local baker or do it on our own
  depending on time we have.
  Occasionally meat and fish from local producers is available, so we buy that too
  when available. We try to not buy things at supermarkets.
  Of course we will buy more quantity to provide for the workawayers.
  The goats produce abundant milk every day, and we have also some fruit trees
  that are already producing, that is shared with the workawayers too.

  Espacio para aparcar autocaravanas

  If the van is able to go in ground tracks it can be parked inside the property, if not around the property there are rural asphalted routes, where no-one will complain about parking the van on the side of them.
