  Description

  Hi workawayers!!
  I'm searching for someone to help me starting from October 14th for 7-10 days for the olives harvest. I'm planning to host multiple people to make a nice team. The last time I hosted was in 2019, it was a super nice experience and I would like to do it again this year.
  
  I'm 27 and I grew up between Tuscany and Umbria, two very lovely regions. I love my land and the nature that we have there but now I'm living in Ghent, Belgium where I'm working. I've been a bioprocess engineer since last year, I'm very motivated with my job because I can do great things for the environment, but sometimes I also want to take care of my land and help my mum.
  
  My family has a big farmhouse with a big olive tree field (almost 300 trees). October and November are the harvest time, we pick the olives and go to the closest mill to get our fresh and natural olive oil. It is a nice experience that I've always shared with my grandparents. I realized later that I was blessed to have all this and now that they are not here anymore I want to keep the tradition with my mum and share it with whoever would like to join us.
  
  WHAT WE SEARCH FOR: You don't need to have skills. We will explain everything while doing it, it is fun but also quite tiring sometimes. So we are looking for people who like working in teams outdoors, in nature.
  
  WHAT WE OFFER: Nice accommodation with all the comforts. Lots of pasta :) and good food in general. My mum is a good cook and she can teach you many recipes. Ah, and she can make homemade pasta in 30 min!
  I will also bring you to the nicest spots in the area (Umbria and Tuscany). There are a lot of attractions around, every time I host with Workaway I discover more of my land, so I can't wait to do it together again!
