EVERYBODY IS WELCOME at my place as long as she/he has a good motivation for doing things together, being creative and learn together !! …The idea is to be happy with the activity you are doing all in harmony with nature
My name is Marcello I’m born in the Netherlands, after traveling for some years in my house truck I have now landed on Corsica and I have been living here since january 2014 and the last 7+ years on a beautiful property (12 hectare) close to the sea together with my cats and some wild turtles, actually while typing this I can hear the waves!! The land is not mine but i’m sort of free to do what I want, there is a big piece of forest with a path to a nice open place where I build a cabin from recycled materials. I try to live a simple life be autonome and just live in nature.
At the moment I work for a client as an technician/electrician so I won't be home all the time during the week.
I can offer for you a place for a campervan or tent ..if available you can stay in my cabin or housetruck.
I have many ongoing projects/ideas and only two hands to finish all. I hope to find people with some experience in woodworking, decorating, gardening, wild-plants knowledge, painting, welding, sewing etc. There is always something to do and space to find what you like the most depending on priorities. I can share my knowledge about building, off-grid living and being creative with recycling
Some ideas and projects:
- Massive cleanup of all collected materials which in this lifetime i won't use.
- FInishing the Mobile Sauna & Welness forest
- Waterline.
- Start again the vegetable garden
- Building 1 person yoga platforms
- Cleaning the forest (cutting trees & making paths)
- General maintenance and cleaning
- Preparing Firewood
- Document the projects, take photos for the new blog or Instagram
- Building a solar dryer for tomatoes and fruits.
- Kitchen extension and new showerplace needs to be build
- New Dry toilet
- etc, etc..
I love to build and create things together with other people and share the life here. As an early bird I like the energy of the morning and start with a meditation, some breakfast and then work. I live on the sunny side of the sea so every morning it's possible to see the sunrise. My camp has a dry-toilet, outside shower and my kitchen is an nice space with a stove. when it's raining (which is rare) life can be a bit challenging. Also expect some mosquitos (a lot!!!) mostly in summer . I do have experience in hosting people on other platforms. I also helped as a volunteer in several places.
Send a request with a good description of your previous experiences and your ideas..And if you have any questions feel free to ask.
I speak: French, English, Dutch, German and some Swedish.

Bonjour !!
TOUT LE MONDE EST LE BIENVENU chez moi tant qu'il/elle a une bonne motivation pour faire des choses ensemble, être créatif et apprendre ensemble !! … L'idée est d'être heureux avec l'activité que vous faites, le tout en harmonie avec la nature
Je m'appelle Marcello, je suis né aux Pays-Bas, après avoir voyagé pendant quelques années dans mon camion-maison, j'ai maintenant atterri en Corse et j'habite ici depuis janvier 2014 et depuis plus de 7 ans sur une belle propriété (12 hectares) près de la mer avec mes chats et quelques tortues sauvages, en fait, pendant que j'écris ceci, je peux entendre les vagues !! Le terrain n'est pas à moi mais je suis en quelque sorte libre de faire ce que je veux, il y a un grand morceau de forêt avec un chemin vers un bel endroit ouvert où je construis une cabane à partir de matériaux recyclés. J'essaie de vivre une vie simple, d'être autonome et de vivre simplement dans la nature.
Je travaille en semaine comme électricien/technicien pour un client et j'essaie d'être autant que possible dans mon petit paradis.
Je peux vous proposer un emplacement pour un camping-car ou une tente. Si disponible, vous pouvez séjourner dans ma cabine ou mon tiny-house truck.
J'ai de nombreux projets/idées en cours et seulement deux mains pour tout terminer. J'espère trouver des personnes ayant une certaine expérience dans le travail du bois, la décoration, le jardinage, la connaissance des plantes sauvages, la peinture, la soudure, la couture, etc. Il y a toujours quelque chose à faire et de l'espace pour trouver ce que vous aimez le plus en fonction des priorités. Je peux partager mes connaissances sur la construction, la vie hors réseau et la créativité avec le recyclage
Quelques idées et projets :
- Nettoyage massif de tous les matériaux collectés que je n'utiliserai pas dans cette vie.
- Finir le sauna mobile et la forêt de bien-être
- Réorganisation de la conduite d'eau/ligne electricite
- Recommencer le potager
- Construire des plateformes de yoga pour 1 personne
- Nettoyer la forêt (couper des arbres et faire des chemins)
- Entretien général et nettoyage
- Préparer le bois de chauffage
- Documenter les projets, prendre des photos pour le nouveau blog ou Instagram
- Construire un séchoir solaire pour les tomates et les fruits.
- Une extension de cuisine et une nouvelle douche doivent être construites
- Nouveau toilette seche
- etc, etc.
J'aime construire et créer des choses avec d'autres personnes et partager la vie ici. En tant que lève-tôt, j'aime l'énergie du matin et je commence par une méditation, un petit-déjeuner puis je travaille. J'habite du côté ensoleillé de la mer, donc chaque matin, il est possible de voir le lever du soleil. Mon camp dispose de toilettes sèches, d'une douche extérieure et ma cuisine est un bel espace avec un poêle. Quand il pleut (ce qui est rare), la vie peut être un peu difficile. Attendez-vous également à des moustiques (beaucoup !!!) surtout en été. J'ai de l'expérience dans l'accueil de personnes sur d'autres plateformes. J'ai aussi aidé en tant que bénévole à plusieurs endroits.
Envoyez une demande avec une bonne description de vos expériences précédentes et de vos idées..Et si vous avez des questions, n'hésitez pas à les poser.
Je parle : français, anglais, néerlandais, allemand et un peu suédois.

Although it was a very short stay Pascal worked very hard on some garden projects and moving sand.
He is not afraid of heavier work and full of interesting conversation.
Travelling in his van he is totally independent.
See you soon hopefully for some help on fixing the motorbike.

We managed to do a lot and the place is much more organized now.
Hope to see you again someday always welcome at Pisonaccia
It was very good to have Kris here during the confusing times of the Coronavirus the best way is just to work and forget what's going on. We managed to do so much and finally I could move into the cabin last week thanks to Kris and many other volunteers.
It became an exceptional Workaway-experience.
It seemed I ended up at the perfect location, regarding the distance needed to be kept between people: an… read more
It was a very nice mixture of work and free time and i enjoyed it a lot.
All the best!
I spent 2 weeks with Marcello in July camped out at his beach front patch of land under the trees.
Overall I really enjoyed my time there.
We would start each morning with a meditation which I think is a great way to start each day.
I spent most of my time helping Marcello build a small structure in the… read more
