    Description

    I'm a farmer in the beautiful Centovalli near Locarno in the South of Switzerland where Italian is spoken.
    My own mother tongue is Swiss German and I also speak English. With the help of my neighbours, I cultivate vegetable gardens and fruit trees. In July I am mainly busy mowing 10 hectares of land, for which many friends come to help. In the winter months I renovate the old stone houses.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can learn something about self-sufficiency and building. I'm originally musician and audio engineer and I still like playing. The "Accademia Dimitri"(physical theater) is located in the valley and it's always nice to visit some shows. I love rock climbing and the area offers a lot for that.
    Sometimes at my place are a lot of people around and a lot is going on, but can also happen, that we are completely alone and all you hear is the crickets chirping. That or the other way, not always predictable.
