The Experience

You like cooking? Help me in the kitchen, shopping and gardening. I do need a helping hand to maintain my private 2000m2 botanical home garden with a handful of olive and foreign subtropical trees. Anyone who loves the whisper of the wind in the palm trees, the music on guitar or piano or sleeping under twinkling stars is welcome! A bit of a romanticism helps - and the wish to live in exchange a harmonic, simple life close to mother nature.

Filicudi è un'isola magica, connettiti con la natura, impari a riciclare l'uso dell'acqua, sfruttare le ore di sole, cucinare con verdure fresche, raccolte dall'isola Sono solo poche ore di lavoro, devi preparare il pranzo e aiutare the home in giardino, dipingere le porte, niente di pesante. the home parla 5 lingue, non ti annoierai mai a chiacchierare con lui. È una mia esperienza da 10

Macu is an extraordinary person, very helpful and adaptable. A great first experience for me as worldpacker host. A pity that the stay was a bit shortened by bad weather (no ferries). I wish Macu all the best. E muchas gracias, que podria rinfrescar mi Castellano!
