  Descrição

  Hello,
  I’m Ector (44) and I live in Maruggio, in the province of Taranto (Puglia). I'm half Italian and half Spanish and I came to Puglia a few years ago cause I feel there is still something real and authentic here. I share the project I’m going to talk to you about with Simona, who lives in Manduria (8 km away) and is often here. She's from here and she also came back to the roots a few years ago. We love simplicity, nature, and critical, nonconformist thinking. We are planning a winter season of work at the house in Maruggio, with the aim of turning this small room+land into a small community where activities (artistic, cultural, in nature – with and without animals) and ideas can grow lively.
  
  We will therefore need to set up parking spaces and canopies for our campers, shelters for our future animals (donkeys, chickens), manage the ones we already have (dogs), take care of and improve the garden (maintenance work, creating new flowerbeds and themed areas), create and maintain the vegetable garden, and divide spaces with fencing. We will do all this with the help – when possible – of specialized workers, assisted by us, and also, maybe above all, with your presence.
  
  We are therefore looking for a man, a couple, or a woman experienced in carpentry/woodworking who:
  
  - can stay with us for a long period after an initial trial period of a few days (maybe a week?);
  - can live in a camper (their own or ours) on the property. The house here in Maruggio is very small, and there is no possibility of sharing spaces, but in some cases later on, it will be possible to stay in Manduria, where there is a private room;
  - is/are autonomous, independent, and willing to agree on a minimum number of weekly working hours, with flexibility – and responsible maturity – on both sides;
  - is/are flexible about food (we provide meals we try to plan according to nutritional needs, but we hope to find reasonable and flexible people who can sometimes make up for some of our shortcomings or satisfy their own specific desires occasionally);
  - loves/love country life and shares the values connected to it;
  - loves/love animals and plants and preferably has some basic knowledge of how to care for both – especially loves dogs and is available to take care of them (food, affection, maybe some walks) if we have to be away for a few days;
  - has/have the maturity to embark on this type of adventure, sharing doubts, problems, and difficulties with respect towards themselves and us.
  
  What we offer:
  -accommodation in a camper with a stove (with the possibility, especially for those with a car, of a room with private bathroom in Manduria depending on the period of stay);
  -land with spring water from an artesian well;
  -proximity to the Ionian Sea of Salento (3 km);
  -introduction into our community (Maruggio/Manduria) and possibly into active community projects;
  - the chance to start personal projects within the place, using the already existing APS;
  - food and beverage.
  
  I hope you can be the right one!
  Keep in touch :)

  Digital nomads are welcome but it's not a place conceived for that. People here have their own internet connection and the desks provided are those found in the camper or spotted around in the land when the weather is fine (most of the time from April to October - then it could be rainy but it's still a very mild winter).
