  • Description

    We believe that our veggies, from our tiny balcony in Bologna, taste better than anything else. We also believe that places and people are synonymous and weprefer sunrises rather than sunsets because of the effort.
    Valeria is from Sardinia and is a social worker who works with refugees and asylum seekers, while Sara is from Sicily and studies sociology at the university of Bologna.
    We like slow dinners and deep conversations, we like travelling together and we try to travel ethically even though we understand how complicated this is. We would like to learn as much as possible about permaculture, bio-agriculture and we have helped several times in some non-human animal shelters in Italy and abroad :)

  • More details about your skills

    We are mainly interested in permaculture projects and we love gardening (not only on our balcony), we have already tried our hand at many of these projects and have learnt a lot, unfortunately we cannot yet describe ourselves as autonomous, but certainly hard workers! One day we would like to take a piece of land ourselves and finally release all the skills we have absorbed during our workaways.
    We both have a lot of experience with children and enjoy playing and learning with them, however we are the ones who learn something new each time.
    Sara is an excellent cook, Valeria a very helpful kitchen assistant :) (this part was written by Sara)
    We have also helped in non-human animal shelters several times in Italy and abroad and it is an experience that helps us deconstruct ourselves each time, one piece at a time.
