Description

Hi everybody! I’m Cecilia, I’m Italian, although I haven’t lived in Italy since I was 19.
Since then I’ve been travelling and living in different places, mainly in Spain, where I spent more than 10 years in the countryside near Tarragona.
During that time I lived and worked in several self-sufficient communities, where I learned a lot about rural life, community living, sharing and taking care of one another, as well as about the self-management of resources.
I love living in close contact with nature: growing vegetables and all kinds of plants, taking care of animals, and sharing meaningful and enriching experiences with the people around me.
I’m not afraid of hard work and I actually need physical activity to feel balanced and focused.
I'm a very adaptable person and I feel comfortable with simple living conditions.
I’m calm, peaceful, easy-going and open-minded; I understand human nature and group dynamics quite well, and while I’m sociable and enjoy being with others, I also value quiet time on my own.
I’m cooperative, respectful of other people’s space and belongings, and very conscious of the environment and the people around me.
I’m interested in spiritual and personal growth, but at the same time I’m a very grounded and practical person.
I’m a curious person and I try to approach every experience with humility and a willingness to learn.
I strongly believe that sharing knowledge, perspectives and daily work with others is one of the best ways to grow, both personally and through collective experience.

Animals have always been a central part of my life.
I’ve lived with dogs and cats since childhood, and over the years I’ve taken care of farm animals as well as groups of dogs in community and off-grid settings.
In the last years my focus has shifted more and more toward dogs and I've gained more experience in working with these incredible animals.
Even if my life in the last years has been more nomad I still strongly believe that community life, living as much as possible outside the system, being self-sufficient and cooperating by joining forces is the only way to live a full, conscious and healthy life.
That's why I wish one day (when I'll be ready to settle down again) to have my own project in the countryside, where I can combine all my passions, live consciously, and above all host other volunteers like me, sharing the joys and challenges of life off the grid.

Quelles sont vos compétences ?

I’m widely experienced in many aspects of countryside life, including growing vegetables and other plants, preparing the soil, making compost, harvesting and pruning.
I also have basic knowledge of bioconstruction, having worked with adobe, dry stone structures and masonry in general, as well as some practical experience with electrical systems, plumbing and general DIY/maintanance.
I’ve worked extensively in animal care, ranging from daily feeding and cleaning to milking and grazing, and I genuinely enjoy taking care of animals of all kinds.
I have particularly strong experience working with dogs, mainly in dog shelters, where I’ve been involved in daily care routines such as cleaning and feeding, handling, health monitoring, administering basic medical treatments, managing group dynamics and supporting dogs with different behavioural needs.
I have a good knowledge of aromatic, medicinal and edible plants, including when and how to collect them, preserve them, process them and use them.
I also know how to prepare plant-based products for garden care, such as natural insecticides, repellents, nutrients and antifungal treatments.
Food processing and cooking are real passions of mine: I have experience in baking, making fresh pasta, preserves and fermented foods, and I’m comfortable cooking for large groups.
I also have some knowledge of brewing and distillation processes.
