As my first experience volunteering I found this one to be quite suitable and pleasant for what I was looking for. The location is somewhat remote, which makes it very quiet and peaceful and leaves no place for distraction, so if you are conscious enough you'll be able to connect more with the place, with the purpose of the experience, with the living beings you are sharing your time with, and with your own needs as well. The work to be done involves a lot of physical tasks, and you could find volunteers having to do their shifts on their own, so be prepared to take some responsibility.

The work was very hard and not really what I expected. It was EXTREMELY hot while I was there and the work was outdoors in the sun. The host did make some inappropriate comments that made me feel a bit uncomfortable around him but I think he means well. His leadership skills aren't great it doesn't really seem like he knows exactly what he's doing and he doesn't take advice or suggestions only when his original plan hasn't worked. This was a big learning curve and I am glad that I did it it was my first trip and I feel like I have grown and I know I've physically gotten stronger due to work.

I have been hosting people with other websites since a while now and i'm not so young anymore, i have a little experience today in hosting someone, that's why from a very young person i think it could be normal this kind of feedback, it reflects perfectly her attitude here in general, especially in the work, inappropriate comments i would really like to know in what sense, but i would just focus in who would come after her or who would have the experience to host Allegra. I dind't like in general her attitude during the period she stayed, especially of course in the work. I always do a whatsapp video call before hosting, and in each season i make attention that people know that this is an agricoltural experience with manual and phisical tascs, this is not a hostel, not in your working time not during your free time, and Allegra knew already about the hot in Sicily in summer and about the type of work. From the first day she passed more time messaging and regarding at her phone than work, I really didn't like this attitude of work, probably she could express her volunteering abilities in other kind of places but definetely not in nature, especially if you think that in Summer in a phisical work you start your day early in the morning with a cigarette, it's not just a judjement, is more that i think that probably she doesn't know yet how to deal with different situations in life, but she is very young, so in her case it could be normal, but i'm not here to teach this kind of aspects to other people while they are here and probably i wouldn't have the capacity either.
Anyway i really don't reccomand Allegra as a phisical work in general, thank you.
