Description

Hello!

We’re Nina and Tim, a couple from the Netherlands who are moving to Italy permanently. We spent six months volunteering in central Italy last year and really enjoyed working with local hosts, living in the countryside and learning about everyday life here.

We’re returning to Italy in September 2026 and want to spend our time volunteering through Workaway..

We’re both practical and hands-on, and are happy doing physical work. We have experience with woodworking, painting, plastering, basic plumbing, renovation and general maintenance. Last year we spent a lot of time pruning and harvesting olives, built an irrigation system and helped with various agricultural projects. We particularly enjoy outdoor work, working with animals and learning traditional and sustainable ways of doing things.

We also bring different professional skills. Nina is an interior designer and photographer, while Tim is an electro-mechanical systems engineer. Depending on what you need, we can therefore help with anything from practical work and maintenance to design, photography and technical problem-solving.

We also have a background in hospitality. We met ten years ago while working together in a hostel in the Netherlands, so we’re comfortable with cooking, breakfast preparation, cleaning, welcoming guests and helping things run smoothly.

We’re travelling with our dog, Miles, a calm and well-behaved six-year-old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever. He is used to travelling and being around people and other dogs.

We’re mainly looking to help with practical, outdoor and agricultural projects, while improving our Italian and getting to know more of everyday life in the Italian countryside.

We’d be happy to hear from you if you think we could be a good fit for your project.
