About Me

Hi guys,

After more than 20 years working in Africa, I’ve settled down in a wonderful corner of nature in Sicily, by the side of a river. I’ve created a small agroecological farm where I grow ancient grains and organic legumes. I have my harvests turned into pasta and flour by local artisans. I also work as an international consultant for development programmes focused on agricultural value chains in Africa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I just signed up here because I love travelling and I enjoy welcoming and meeting new people. I offer a beautiful, private and self-contained space — possibly in exchange for a little help on the land… The area has so much to discover: baroque towns, archaeological sites, canyons, beaches...

If you're passing through or simply want to come explore this lovely corner of Sicily, feel free to get in touch!
