The Experience
We'd love to invite you to be part (even if shortly) of a collective dream we are manifesting together. Our intention is to develop a project based on self-sufficiency, resiliency and alternative way of living. We like to cook, garden, bake, ferment and anything that involves transforming the matter around for the benefit of human beings in nature. You have a lot of time to chill, read, walk in nature and have fun.We got a pool, a dome, hammocks

This was my second Worldpackers experience and I don't think anything can top the eco village! David and Simone made me feel so welcomed immediately, as well as the other volunteers. We spent just a few hours in the afternoons working around the house, tending to the garden, picking fruits, cleaning up, etc. The tasks were easy and didn't even feel like work! At first I was hesitant to pay the daily fee, but had no problem doing so as it paid off in the food, drinks, and vibes! They took us to gorgeous river spots and to a festival. I'll never forget my time at the eco village <3

This was such an amazing and fun experience. For my first worldpackers, it was everything I'd hoped it would be. I learned so much about sustainability and gardening from both David and Simoné. They allowed us to relax and chill in the mornings and then garden/ other tasks in the afternoon. It was very informational, but during free time they showed us cool places like a castle, went swimming in the river, and even went to a festival on my last day. It was such a great experience I would recommend to anyone. Will hopefully go back to visit someday! 🌼

The eco village La Scheggia was an incredible experience! I learned so much about permaculture, fermentation, cooking, and local Italian culture! The place is feels very homey and David is always making sure you are having a good time! David & Simone are both super knowledgeable in their field and always ready to help or answer any questions! Thank you David & Simone for such a fun time and will definitely come back soon!
