Description
Hi, I'm Antonio, a 56 years old man from Italy. Vegan (but respectful of others choices), no smoker, Italian mother tongue and fluent in English (I also speak Sardinian). Worked in GB for several yrs as a support/sessional worker with a variety of people in need of support, physical and emotional, children/teenagers, homeless, elderly, blind and disable people. I'm into cycling, nature, cinema, arts, photography and debating socially just side of politics. Love to travel and meet interesting people and new cultures. I have good work ethics, I'm easygoing and trustworthy, believe in honesty, healthy living and everything involving eco/ethical living and environmentally friendly ways of life. Open minded and willing to learn new things, to improve my knowledge of my deeper self and also making new interesting friends. Wishing to work and learn in the organic agricultural field, but able to adjust to different tasks, like be involved with animal care, gardening, building repair, housework etc..don't mind physical work, to keep fit in mind, spirit and body!
Looking forward to new friends and experiences.
Ciao.

Antonio stayed with us for about five weeks. He is a lovely person, very hard working and very interesting to talk to. Every task we set him he tackled with enthusiasm and he worked equally well on his own, with fellow workawayer Risa or with one of us.During his stay with us he mowed the grass, cut hedges, dug holes for fence posts and weeded the… read more

It has been a week now since I left Graham & Gabi's place. I spent there five weeks, working on different projects, digging, fencing, grass cutting etc..good old fashion work.. all outdoors in the lovely big gardens surrounding their quaint country house. The work isn't to hard, and the mid morning coffee break helps with the tasks ahead. Gabi's… read more

Antonio is a sweet man, honest and respectful in other people’s spaces. I am so happy he got in touch and stayed in our home for 3 weeks, he worked super hard on the farm and cooked for all the volunteers, I really will miss him and am so sorry our time was short. Please don’t hesitate to invite Antonio into your home, he is trustworthy and… read more

I left Cathy's farm only a few days ago, and I'm still thinking how good and fulfilling it was for me to have had the chance to spend some time at this animal sanctuary/farm. I was supposed to stay there for much longer than I did, but because of a shoulder problem I ended up staying only just under three weeks. This is a Special place with a… read more Special host. Cathy deserves five stars just based on her generosity. She's a very busy (Artist) woman, but still manages to go the extra lenght to accommodate and make everyone happy and comfortable, whatever the issue, accommodation or food or working issues, she's an innate understanding human being. The farm is a Little oasis of peace, especially for the many (special & beautiful) animals with their own distinctive personalities, which are being taken care of in the real sense of the word, in a compassionate and respectful way, like the Extended Family they truly are, and let's not forget the family dogs molly victor daisy and connor, a happy and funny bunch. The work is demanding at times, so you really need to be fit and believe in what you're doing and being motivated by animal welfare, like the host is. Cathy's commitment and loyalty for her animals are palpable and inspiring, and I was lucky enough to be accepted to be part of this amazing experience for a short while. Isolation of the Location makes it perfect for volunteers who like to experience the quietness and Beauty of the irish countryside, but you also have the chance for occasional lifts to Dublin and or small local towns around the area, including the local Pub and mix with irish Folks. Cycling is also an option, even thou need to take extra care on the narrow bendy country lanes I find, and same with walking/trekking around...just mind the cars! but nevertheless you can do it if you're the adventurous type : ) I was lucky to have found a good bunch of volunteers, with whom I really connected, and together with had great meals, with the occasional glass of wine and passionate and interesting debates and exchanges..it was lovely really, and I thank them all for making this possible with their positive attitude. Megan the Trainer is really nice and passionate about her work too, and at times you can attend Training with her for horses and donkeys. I like to thank you Cathy's mum for helping us with food shopping and support, and Neal for the hospitality in the house. I recommend this host and placement based on my experience and the way I was welcomed and treated. Go there with a positive and motivated attitude and you'll experience a great time. I really hope to have the chance to visit and meet Cathy and all the Team at the farm/sanctuary again.
Goodbye for now,
Peace and Love.

You cannot find a better volunteer! Antonio volunteered with us helping in a number of departments. He was very hard and efficient worker and one of the nicest people we have hosted. His hard work and efficiency are only topped by his enthusiasm, politeness, and willingness to help. He fitted into the community from day one and would be a huge… read more

Antonio has worked for about 1 month in our community. It was quite a hard work to do, building walls with dry construction in a big hall. Antonio was working mostly with another workaway. He was a reliable and strong worker, checking out which things has to be done, when we didn't instruct all things. It was a pleasure to work with him, he was… read more

The uferwerk community is a special place with special people.

I've spent around forty days at Bianca & Edword's place, and I enjoyed the whole time there. Bianca and Edword are very helpful and generous individuals, ready to help anytime you need some support.

My month spent at Jantine, Douwe e Guido's house working in the vineyard, was really good. It was my second volunteering with a family from this very nice region of Holland, the Friesland. The surroundings, the house and vineyard, the (very free) chickens running around, and the occasional sight of the local wild deer, made the all thing very… read more
