Work directly with Anna and husband manager Dean M Gray on high performing creative projects to achieve measurable results.
Our home is up the hill from the medieval village of Varzi, a 5 minute drive by bus or car and a 45 minute walk. Varzi is about two hour drive by bus or car from Milano and a little longer ride from the coast of Genova. We offer two bikes & many people cycle here.
The forest is behind our home, the Staffora river below. We are surrounded by fields of grain, farms of hazelnuts, the forest, a few homes, and the best pizzaria. Varzi is listed among the most beautiful medieval communes in Italy.
Anna's original music is jazz and popular styles, even rock & roll. There are also guitars and other instruments in the house for guests to play. Anna has played many historic church pipe organs in America and Europe. She performed concerts in Varzi and often plays classical music with the Varzi church choir.

No formal shift, the timing is casual so you can schedule your remote worker work.
What are the hours for volunteer work? Usually we have breakfast around 8AM, starting projects at 9AM. Several times we started in the afternoon. One time we started at 7AM. The rising and setting sun - as well as the weather - often have a lot to do with scheduling.
Which days are usually free for the volunteer? We negotiate this because we are flexible and understand the volunteers need time to rest, for relaxation, and often to do online work.
Want more? Perhaps to visit big famous cities of Milan or Genoa? You are off work two days a week - free to do what you want and explore. Visit Milan and/or Genoa by a short public bus trip. Leave home at 6:45AM, take bus to Milan and you are there at 9AM. Trip to Genoa about 3 hours by bus. Spend a day or two as a smart tourist, keep your budget modest, and see all the famous sights without big city noise, pollution, and crowds. Florence is a little further, but also possible as two-day excursion.
Do volunteers have enough free time to explore the area or work online? Yes, of course. Our volunteer guests are free to hike, walk, bike, and take the bus anywhere. Not everyday is a party.
No tobacco smoking. No hard drugs. Legal medical drugs, OK. Occasional light social drinking. Always positive attitude. Good ambition and optimism. The wild party is in your imagination. Rule #1 is have fun and laugh at trouble.
