Pig Pandemonium and Wild Boar Encounters in Italy: What They Don't Tell You About Volunteering with Workaway
Description
Think farm volunteering in Italy is all rolling hills, fresh pasta, and Instagram-worthy sunsets? Think again. Join travel journalist Isabella Miller as she reveals the hilariously chaotic reality of her two-week Workaway adventure caring for 15 animals on a remote Italian farm. From nearly burning down the farmhouse with a melted coffee pot to wrestling 200-pound demon pigs through electric fences, plus wild midnight encounters with herds of boars and a murderous rooster terrorizing chickens, discover why this budget travel hack offers way more adventure (and terror) than advertised. Between dodging pig bites and cuddling needy kittens, Isabella learned that farm life isn't for the faint of heart—but it might just be the most authentic cultural immersion you'll ever experience. Read Isabella's full article, "Behind the Scenes of Workaway: Lessons Learned Volunteering on an Italian Farm," for all the messy, magnificent details of rural Italian reality.
