Descripción
Hello,
It's great having these opportunities -- to visit new places, meet people, learn a little of new languages and about other cultures.

My name is Issa. I am a
writer
(website is storiesbyissa.com, author of Attempts,
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C1J1WPC4?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860)

and attorney (civil rights, intellectual property) in the Washington, DC area in the United States.

Before law, I worked as a biomedical and computer applications engineer, and did some research with a hospital. On the food side, I decided to eat only vegetarian food, and since have learned a few simple things about cooking, and enjoying it.

I very much enjoy being around and working with others; also writing, the outdoors, kids (coached soccer in the past), and for sure traveling. I would like to help (and learn) with gardening, farming, restoration and renovation of old or damaged sites. I can also teach if needed (English, or other subjects).

Looking forward to being part of this community!

This camp, near Dugadda, is a great place for some quiet time without being too far from common conveniences. The tents, the trees, the birds, the river, the mountains, the stars… it's a tremendous setting. And, it is close enough to Dugadda to walk there, but still tucked in the valley in its own space. I helped for a couple of weeks in April,… read more

The group is working on making great contributions to their community and its future. It was fantastic taking part in their work. I spent a few weeks in the town (Dhanpuri), helping with visits to families to highlight the importance of education, with English classes to young adults, and a couple of computer classes. There were also some… read more

Issa - what a great guy! Calm, cool, happy in his own skin and got on brilliantly with those here before him and those that joined us later than him for our olive picking days and beyond. His maturity showed (though not remotely physically, he looks way younger than his years!!)
What ever task I gave him he got stuck in and I think he found… read more

I visited Puglia in October 2023, and stayed with Jane (and along a few other awesome workawayers) for the better part of the month. Jane was incredibly generous, helpful, and welcoming. For me the stay was fun and ‘educational’… learned loads about olives--harvest, press, process—climbing trees, went to the press, some cooking (gained a bit more… read more

Staying with Nadia, Elisa, Irene, an awesome teenager (who loves **almost** all foods), and friends, was a heartwarming, fun, and educational experience. Nadia... everyone, was welcoming and loving such that I felt part of the family. As for the types of tasks, a cool and beautiful workawayer and I helped build a fence, did some gardening, fed a… read more

Thank you for having me, Saskia! I had a great experience working and chatting with you (and with Abby), playing Rummikub, eating :).

Saskia is a wonderful person. Kind, inventive, knowledgeable, resourceful. Much to learn from her. I spent a week at her new home in Troviggiano and had a tremendous and productive time with her and Abby (other… read more

Lucrezia, Andrea, and Diana are amazing people. I was lucky to have met them and grateful they gave me an opportunity to stay with them in Piedimonte Etneo.

The area is beautiful and special. The farm has a millstone house (I learned in Italian it’s called palmento). We worked on cleaning it, building shelves, and helping making it ready for… read more

I spent about 9 days with Roberto, Alessandra, and Fiorella. They are amazing amazing people, and I am lucky to have them as new friends and to have worked with them.

The work entailed clearing overgrowth around olive trees, cutting wood, moving wood, clearing grass around vegetables. From these simple tasks, I learned from each of them about… read more

Francesco is gentle, kind, welcoming. I was happy to have met him and hope to see him again. He has some great plans for the near future, and I hope I was helpful and contributed positively.

I spent 9 days with him, mostly in Vibo Valentia. First we moved some household items from the house to trash, then other items (cabinets, a couple of… read more
