  Description

  Ciao, my name is Nirvana and for part of the year I live in the beautiful Cilento National Park a beautiful part of Italy that you should experience in your travels. A few years ago I embarked on a project close to my heart , I came to Italy to finish work on a property left to me by my father. I also have some land which was abandoned for over 20 years but with the wonderful help from Workaways and my boys it has been transformed into a beautiful tranquil setting. I live her with my son Fabiano and my son in law Gianluca. We enjoy meeting new people so get in touch if you're thinking if travelling this way and are interested in our work.

  Help

  I'm looking for someone to help me with the garden, animals and fruit trees, so lots of outdoor work. The tasks have become too much for me to manage on my own and at times it needs more muscle power than I have.
  
  Ideally our workaway will have knowledge and/or interest in gardening. The tasks I need help with include mowing the grass, general weeding, preparing the veg patch, digging and planting. Also general maintenance of the courtyard. In October I need help with harvesting the olives, we have 40 trees in all.
  We have cats that love cuddles and chickens, who also love cuddles but need more looking after, so you need to be OK about looking after them, which means getting up at dawn to let them out and shutting them in at dusk and helping me to keep them clean and healthy. In return they give us fresh eggs.
