Fire Alarm Companies

last Tribewanted sustainable tourism project is a community farm in rural Andalusia - where you can mud

not expect to find yourself in a construction site during the holidays, but I like it. The only nod to the health and safety seems to be a quick "peep-peep" of the shovel, and balancing a piece of oak wood in place. Refresh after work in the form of a huge pot white wine, drinking small glasses with muddy hands. My coworkers are Italian happy to stop every few minutes to chat, and some curious dogs and horses get to have a closer look. And the view: the Umbrian hills around us, gently gleaming in the spring sunshine

We build it will be a tool shed and parlor in one of the fields around Monestevole, a village in the 15th century on a hill in the center of Italy. I underestimated the degree of satisfaction, it would be to build something, mostly by hand, that literally rises from the earth. The spacers are made of wood from nearby forests, straw insulation, foundations are made of small stone slabs found in another area and the walls are made of earth, clay loaded, picked it up, and painted smoothed by hand. The wall is only four meters high when the wine came out and slows down the work.

Monestevole was run as an agriturismo occasionally by their owners Valeria and Alessio, who bought it as a wreck in 1990 and has been restored, but last week was reopened in association with the company Tribewanted sustainable tourism, and we are their first customers.

This is the third project Tribewanted. When the company launched in 2006, has attracted a lot of media attention, including a BBC series. The idea was to build an online community for paying members - the "tribe" - which would create a sustainable tourism project in Fiji

was hailed as a revolution in the tourism, but the lack of funds, difficulties in engaging people online in the long term, and meant that the local government asking the company to pay much a new lease in advance of Fiji project was completed in 2011 (the funding model has changed to a monthly subscription of € 10, which gives "tribe" members preferential rates and a voice in decisions and provides destinations on a fixed income).

Meanwhile, the company has created a similar site on a beach in Sierra Leone, and now here in Italy, which is a bit of a change - less distance, less adventurous, and less obvious social impact.

"We wanted to do a project in a more developed," said Ben Keene, Tribewanted co-founder, who was peeling potatoes in the kitchen while I'm sitting lazily with a glass of wine.

"The model we are trying to build, what has not changed is the following: how can we make the most of a cultural heritage and embrace the future of use of energy, water, waste, and run. "

one of the other guests, Kate, who works in marketing in London and was established in Sierra Leone Tribewanted. This journey, he says, changed his life. "I left after two weeks and I do not think I've never felt better in the world." So, my expectations are high. The 47 acre site is only half an hour from Perugia airport, 10 minutes from the beautiful town of Umbertide but feels remote. The main house, a beautiful stone building surrounded by rosemary bushes, was once a watchtower for Monestevole castle on the other side of the mountain. Life goes on here everything you should have for centuries - the cow is milked in the morning, the pigs are reared (I spend a lot of time looking at small 10 piglets follow their mother around), you make bread, olives , wine ferments. The people who work here come for lunch and dinner and we sat in the large wooden tables. My room is part of a first floor apartment, with a four-poster bed and a view of the valley from every window. It is tempting to take refuge here, next to the fireplace in the living room, but that would mean missing out on what is happening on the ground floor - probably a game husky briscola

So, it is not perfect - yet - but it is supposed to be an ongoing project, led by the community with the participation of Monestevole Tribewanted members. To see grow is illuminating in itself -. Now I know how to build an adobe house, if necessary, and I am tempted to return when you finally put wind

more poignant, it sounds clich?, like Parmesan, it is how these people live their lives - in a neighboring community, with nature and the seasons. Tribewanted performs a curious type of subversion is a very modern society, which owes its existence to the Internet and social networks and crowdfunding, but takes people to a place with signal phone small and intermittent Wi-Fi free and do not forget to get your hands dirty and eat together and live in a very simple can be good. At least for a few days.

Because these people seem to be happier than I've ever met.
