Descrição

Hello,

We are an international couple, Agata, 25 y.o., is from Sicily and Antoine, 30 y.o., from France. After living 8 months within an off-grid community in the spanish desert, we decided to come in Sicily.

Agata:
Born in Sicily, I had been abroad for a long time for my studies and research in soil biology and agroecology. I am a very curious person, full of energy, in a continuous need to learn, and a will to share with other people my passions.
I am doing a course to become a hiking guide in Sicily. My project is to combine hiking with revegetation of Sicilian soils, covering bare/abandoned land with native plants, especially by collecting and preserving wild seeds, germination workshop and direct sowing. For this reason, I will not be available on Thursdays afternoon and during the Week-end. However, I am available to work a few extra hours during the week to make up for Thursday hours.

Antoine:
I am a mechanical engineer. I enjoy practising rock climbing, sailing and hiking, discover other cultures, and meet people.
I am a very curious person, ready to discover and learn new knowledge, and passionate by all technological issues for a sustainable life. I am currently focused about mobility, energetic and water autonomy issues, woodworking, and construction methods.
