Domu Ajia
To experience a simple life in a place immersed in nature and help me make it even more sustainable. The house is located in the south of Sardinia, between sea and mountains, wild places and archaeological sites that tell the history and culture of this ancient land in the middle of the Mediterranean Sea.
Even though I live alone, volunteers will be able to find a welcoming and family-like environment, genuine food. Volunteers will be able to arrange with me regarding the work shifts and their free time; everything will be decided from time to time depending on everyone's needs or the specific situations.

About the experience in: Sinnai, Italy
Japan
I had a wonderful experience living in a peaceful and beautiful Sardinian village and getting close to local life. My tasks included gardening, planting, cutting branches, and sometimes helping with meals. I enjoyed delicious homemade food with lots of olive oil, sunny days, and quiet nights. Elisabetta is energetic, talkative, and full of personality — sometimes a bit emotional, but always interesting and fun to be around. We visited local festivals, met her friends, and even learned Indian dance together. It was a truly unique and memorable experience.

Thanks Shion! Yes, the picnic night was as fun as a scene from a movie hahaha.
I hope one day I can fulfill my dream of going to Japan, and that day I'll come knocking on your door! Ciao....

This is a great chance to enjoy organic food and nature while helping with light chores like gardening. It felt more like staying with family than a formal work arrangement—so to my fellow introverts, don’t be intimidated!
Note: The location is quite remote (a 2+ hour walk to the nearest town). I regretted renting a standard bicycle; I highly recommend a motorcycle or at least an e-bike, as the roads can be dangerous. Also, while the host speaks some English, knowing basic Italian is essential for smooth communication. It was a wonderful experience despite the challenges!

To me it was a very beautiful experience; it was my first experience as a volunteer with worldpackers and it was very rewarding. Elisabetta, a kind, dear, generous and sociable host, her house is very beautiful, the food she offered me every day was delicious, I was able to learn several aspects of Sardinia's culture through her own life and that of her friends. I found it very interesting that Elisabetta, with her own lifestyle, with her house, honors the value of water and allows everyday experience of respect, value, and awareness for the use of water, nature and silence.

Elisabetta is a nice person that is always excited yo share her Sardo culture with you. She is very passionate, as a good Sardinian, and that sometimes comes as too strong but she means well and is nice. Just know that this work is mostly helping her around the house and garden with chores that are becoming too difficult for her. It's not a fancy work exchange experience but you do get to enjoy a beautiful setting in the mountains with the ocean on the horizon (and occasional trips there!). Very flexible schedule and relaxed atmosphere :)
