Descrição
I'm an American born German 62 years old woman, who has dreamed all my life of a little home in a sunny warm region near the sea. And ... here I am.
Everything here is not perfect yet, life is pretty rustic, water from the tab not always available, drinking water needs to be fetched from the fountain, the outdoor toilet for the Workawayers is a compost toilet that needs to be emptied and cleaned daily...
So be prepared to a pretty basic lifestyle, though our Workawayers usually have had wonderful times here.
You will live in one of our two huge glamping-tents, mainly use the outdoor facilities (of course you will always be welcome in the house but space is rare there too and the hot water in the outdoor shower usually is even warmer than in the house - where it is heated by solar energy). We want you to have your own space and be able to make sure you get exactly the amount of "me time" you need.
Daily routines: I usually feed our three cats at sunrise (they were rescued from the trash when they were a few days old - please keep them in mind - if you are allergic against cats, it might not be good for you to be here? ), then I water the plants and if I'm in a good energy I dance or do some dynamic or silent meditation, Qi Gong, or garden work before breakfast.
I love to eat and love to try new dishes. As I'm allergic against gluten we'll provide you as well with gluten free food.
Food containing gluten can only be eaten in the outdoor kitchen. No gluten in the house.
We usually eat vegetarian but we also love fish and meat but try to eat less meat, to conserve resources and respect the lives of the animals. We'll prepare one warm meal a day (or you do that instead of other work if you'd like to?) and we would like you to eat with us then. Lunch is a great moment to come together, to feel connected, to communicate our hopes and dreams and exchange experiences and stories and ... whatever is needed.
For breakfast and an additional snack (if needed) - you can usually just help yourself.
We'll provide enough fresh ingredients for you, to serve yourself from our huge outdoor fridge.
My partner Alberto still has to work in Germany (I'm ill and therefore in early pension) - sooo he's not able to be here for more than a vacation. That's why I'd love to have some help and company for the next few months/years.
I like it best if you choose some kind of project or just some duties in the daily routine and are able to work independently except of course asking me any questions you have.
I speak fluently English and German, pretty good French and Italian, little Spanish and Turkish (...lived in Istanbul for 5 years).
Sooo, I'm a really open hearted and minded person, creative, a dreamer, full of ideas for a full and fulfilled life.
And that's what I also want you to experience: a fulfilled time in our home (the 89 years old Mamma Lucia was the former owner of the land and she still comes often to share her tremendous wisdom about farming and Italian cooking with us)

Oportunidades de intercâmbio cultural e aprendizado
I'm a Globetrotter and have lived in more than 4 countries.
So, there are lots of stories and arts in my heart.
Let's be creative together, creating a little heaven in nature. I'd love to encourage you to explore your creativity in my house and country.
1 ha experimental field.
Be free.
I'm looking forward to see the realization of your dreams manifest themselves.
And ...
The Italian culture in the small towns here has embraced me with multiple cultural offers. In the evenings everybody meets at the piazza. Sometimes (mainly in summer) for cultural events or (rather in winter) just a little chat in the shade of the historic churches and old pinetrees.
And ...
I can provide practicing different languages mainly German and English.
Ajuda
As my partner can only be here partially and I am having hard times bending my two broken knees, I need a lot of help with the land:
The garden - 1ha of mainly olives, wine, figs, almond and other fruit trees, lots of artichokes and in future - whatever you will help me plant...
The house - is new and there are still incredible many things to be done.
Carrying, installing and building furniture; painting, creative tiling ... or whatever comes up.
Household- help with the cleaning/cooking is anyway always wellcome. As I'm needed everywhere in the land and have two broken knees (torn ligamons) I also need your help in the household, if possible. Of course I'd never stop you from any gardening help or art project besides... 😉
In summer our main working times are between 6-13 (or even earlier) including an hour breakfast break...
3-5 hours a day, 5 days a week.
In winter I'd prefer to slow down a bit...

Learning Italian is my fun right now..
Acomodação
You will stay in one of our Glamping tents- one with two beds (140 and 90 cm wide), the other with a single bed only, bothe with a table and chair and some space for your belongings . You'll sleep in pure nature inmidst of the olives, figues and almond trees. You have a shared outdoor bathroom nearby and can use both fully equipped outdoor kitchens. You're also welcome in my house, but there is little space inside and some rooms don't have a door yet.
Algo mais...
I can provide 4 bikes and if necessary our second little old Italian car.
The sea and a beautiful long sand beach, but also small quiet hidden coves in a nature reserve - are a 27 min bicycle ride away, (by car: 13 min) .
The beautiful little towns San Vito dei Normanni (very original italian) Carovigno (sooo charming italiano) and Ostuni (very "touristy" but beautiful) are nearby, Brindisi as a capital city, busy and also very italiano, with plenty of cultural offers is 20 min by car and there are busses going all day long (but the busstation is about 25 min walk away)...
I'd love you to enjoy both: the rural area, silence of nature but also the lively Italian "dolce vita" on the streets on the piazza in the evenings.

I lived at Santa Lucia for about 3 weeks in December. I am the first workawayer to come this late in the season, but everything was well prepared to accommodate me. There was a gas heater I could use to warm up the tent and Andrée also provided me with a hot-water bag to heat up the bed. I felt… read more
Together with Andreé we take care of the place, watering the plants, cleaning here and there, cooking and building. Also went to her secret beach and some great villages nearby. She is such a wonderful person!!
The place is very quiet in the middle of the countryside. It is close to the sea, so is really easy to go… read more
