Descrição

Hello!

We’re Nina and Tim, a couple from the Netherlands who are in the process of making Italy our new home. After spending six months volunteering in central Italy last year, we fell in love with the countryside, the slower pace of life, and the people we’ve met along the way. 

We’re now returning (sept. 2026) to Italy to take the next step in our journey: finding a home! In the process of doing so, we’d love to spend our time meaningfully through Workaway. We’re travelling with our dog, Miles, who is a calm and well-behaved six year old Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever.

We have a background in hospitality. In fact, we met ten years ago while working together at a hostel in the Netherlands. Running a reception, preparing breakfast, helping guests and making people feel welcome and comfortable all come naturally to us.

We’re both very hands on and enjoy practical work. We have experience with woodworking, painting, plumbing, plastering and general renovation and maintenance. During our previous journey, we spent quite a bit of time pruning and harvesting olive trees which was great! We also built an irrigation system and worked on agricultural projects. We really enjoy working with animals and getting involved in sustainable and traditional agricultural practices.

Because Nina is an interior designer and photographer, she contributed a lot to the creative side of things, while Tim’s background as an electro-mechanical systems engineer brings a more technical and practical perspective.

We’d love to improve our Italian and learn more about everyday life in the Italian countryside. We’re excited to see where this next chapter takes us!
