  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  ✨ If you’re looking for a Workaway experience that combines Italian countryside charm, sustainability, language teaching and learning, hands-on learning, and time in nature during your free time, we’d love to hear from you.
  
  In September we will start planting lavander and we are in need of some help with that. If you’d join us visit us during that month, expect some garden work with us. But don’t worry, we’ll make it fun.
  
  I am trying to get better with my English so I would love to chat with you about meaningful topics, so that I can learn to engage with my guests more comfortably.
  
  I would be happy if you’d join us every once in a while to have meals together in the garden or exploring together the beauty of Umbria, and you’re more than welcome to also take your own time on your own.
  
  With us you will have the chance to learn everything there is to know about Italian slow living, cooking traditions, managing an agriturismo, working the land and why not, also creating meaningful connections with our guests.
  
  Let’s create something beautiful together. 💛

  Bora (4 years)

  Bora is a Swiss Shepherd who is very active. She loves to play outside, napping in the shade, and exploring the forest.
  She is protective of her property, but she will become fond of you as soon as you start playing with her, and she will even join you on walks.
