  Description

  We are currently looking for two volunteers for Fall 2025!
  
  Please read our full profile to understand requested tasks. We will give preference to a couple or pair.
  
  We are Tori (American) and Gian Luca (Sardinian). We spend our time between both places, and when we are in Sardinia we have many projects that we would like help with. We ourselves met through Workaway and feel passionate about this kind of exchange and opportunity. Our project includes many areas of smaller projects (listed below) which we focus on depending on the time of year.

  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Between us, our family and local villagers, we love to exchange traditions, recipes and stories. We also appreciate the knowledge and ideas that anyone can bring to our project from their own skills and experiences. We are happy to teach anyone willing to learn the skills and things we have learned.

  We will provide ingredients for 3 meals per day, 1 or 2 of which we can make and share together if preferred by the volunteers. It is very important to us not to waste or throw away food when not necessary. We are very intentional with our resources.

  Autres infos...

  Martis has a waterfall and a petrified forest, both walking distance. There is nice walking and biking, and for those who don’t have a car there is a bus that can take you to the nearest city and surrounding areas. We are in the middle of the countryside and there are only two markets and four bars in the village. One can find a lot of peace and tranquillity here.
