The Experience

We are Ando and Ana. We are freelancers and we are starting a new life in the hills of San Donnino Abbey. Ando is an anthropologist and Ana is a translator and Spanish teacher. We are also musicians, we play together folk and traditional music (Local, Balkan, irish French... and so on) :) Ando is an outside smoker. We don't have animals yet. If you speak Italian, as we are in Italy, it's a plus.

My sister's and my first volunteer and it was a great, house in the mountain with fantastic views. The tasks were helping to keep the house clean, make some repairs and cook. Ando and Ana are great hosts, very polite and respectful, they helped us with some paperwork and to practice Italian, but most of the time we spoke in English. The house is big and the room is cold, but the blankets and the fireplace help it. The events on the weekend are great to interacting with different people since the house is quite isolated, so we recommend volunteering in pairs. Grazie Mille 🥰

Es un lugar muy bonito, con hermosas vistas y mucha tranquilidad. También es un lugar muy frío (cuesta mucho calefaccionar los espacios), y a veces es el trabajo es un poco monótono por lo que recomiendo postular en parejas o grupos, ya que hay espacio suficiente para más de una persona.

Fue una gran experiencia, hice algunas cosas por primera vez, nos divertimos , vivimos en medio del bosque, ambos cocinamos, organizamos la despensa y el garaje ¡que reto! recogimos leña, y les ayudamos un montón con tema marketing, espero que el contenido les sirva para sus redes. Ando es muy divertido y buen chef, siempre tiene una sonrisa y una palabra amable Debes tener en cuenta que es muy lejos de todo y moverte será un problema, siempre vas a depender de ellos, de sus tiempos, nosotros tuvimos que quedarnos 3 días más porque no teníamos forma de llegar a Forli ¡Gracias por la gran exp

LLegamos en una noche fría y Ando nos recibió con una delicia torta de manzana, super cálido, el hogar es un poco frío pero con la música lo hacen sentir muy bien. Hicimos diferentes actividades, recoger leña, limpiar la chimenea, marketing, asistir a una clase de Ana, organizar la despensa y el garaje que fue un gran reto, cocinar y demás. La casa es fría porque buscan siempre el mayor ahorro posible y ser amigables con el ambiente pero se trató de buscar soluciones. La movilidad es un poco compleja porque no es tan cerca a nada y siempre vas a depender de los anfitriones esto complicado.
