As Lorenzo's second Worldpackers volunteer, I had a meaningful month at his traditional wheat farm and facility. He was respectful, accommodating, and created a relaxed, open-minded environment. I enjoyed learning about agricultural history, farm operations, and milling processes through his hands-on teaching. Tasks ranged from light to physically demanding, and hours were respected, allowing time to explore the island. A highlight was our knowledge exchange, where I demonstrated soapmaking for him and other volunteers. I highly recommend this experience. Grazie mille, Lorenzo!

Lorenzo, our host, was immediately a warm and welcoming person. We absolutely loved the time spent with him, he was skillful, hardworking and knowledgeable, and truly wanted us to enjoy ourselves. He also speaks 4 languages, which is super cool and he communicated very well in both Italian and English with us. A great experience, a very cute town and a fantastic host!

Lorenzo is very polite and respectful guy, it was really nice to get to know him. Working hours were respected and working in the field was physical but nice. There is one thing that at least I would like to know if I was going there next. Our last night there we found a cockroach in the bathroom. Lorenzo didn't know about them beforehand and he acted immediately to eliminate them from the mill which was very nice of him. However I couldn't be sure that they were completely gone and I decided to leave although we had agreed beforehand that I would stay there alone for ten more days.

I was the first volunteer using this platform , he normally has WOOFers. Highly recommend for anyone interested in sustainable farming as long as you are up for the hard work that entails. (For me it meant mainly moving rocks from the field & filing bags of flour) the surrounding nature around the town is gorgeous!

O anfitrião é uma pessoa muito legal, de bom coração, do sítio, muito simples, se preocupa verdadeiramente com o bem estar do viajante. O trabalho é ok. A acomodação é muito ruim, o quarto fica em um porão de um armazém e moinho de trigo, é extremamente quente e desconfortável mesmo com o ventilador ligado, há muitos insetos picando você o tempo todo e o ar do ambiente de trabalho e do seu quarto tem muita poeira da moagem do trigo, eu infelizmente não consegui ficar mais que 3 noites no local. Você pode aprender sobre a cadeia produtiva do trigo, isso é legal.

ho voluto soprassedere ma devo rispondere. Apparentemente motivato online, purtroppo inadatto in presenza. Ha aiutato molto poco. Ha sfondato un materasso gonfiabile da 200 euro, è andato via senza versare un cent di quello che era scritto, mi voleva fare sentire in colpa perché mancava la corrente in paese per il caldo eccessivo. Se ci sono certi problemi, occorre dirlo prima di partire. Ps. La stanza era quella del profilo che nessuno ha contestato Rispedisco il feedback al mittente
