🌿 Farm Retreat in Italy

At HomeAwe, we believe in a profound principle that has changed our lives—and we strive to pass it on to everyone who joins us.
We call it the Surrender Principle—and it’s not about giving up in weakness, but surrendering with awareness.

It’s about surrendering to life as it is, to the journey as it comes, to opportunities as they appear—even if they don’t match our expectations. It means you stop resisting, start trusting, let go of false control, and allow the universe to show you the way.

Many of us try to plan, predict, and control everything. But the most beautiful moments—and deepest transformations—often happen when we let go and surrender. When we say:

“I don’t know what’s going to happen… but I’m ready to live it.”

That’s exactly what we experience through travel and volunteering—new places, unfamiliar people, different cultures. And all of it requires just one kind of courage: to surrender and trust.

That’s why we don’t give out every single detail of the trip beforehand. Not because we’re hiding anything, but because we want to create a journey that mirrors true travel—spontaneous, mysterious, full of surprises. Like when you travel solo, backpack on, embracing whatever comes.

We want you to:

• Surrender to the experience.

• Adapt, accept, and choose joy.

• Live in the moment, shape your own journey, and invest fully in it.

You might meet people completely different from you, experience a new culture, or be led by a guide and group that weren’t what you imagined—and that’s exactly the power of the journey: not to control everything, but to discover yourself through it.

In our programs, we don’t provide a detailed day-by-day itinerary.
All we ask is that you show up, smile, and trust—and we’ll take you on the journey of a lifetime: unique, inspiring, and aligned with the spirit of solo travel.

Because once you taste this kind of adventure, you’ll have the courage to travel solo next time.

We’ll give you all the necessary information—exactly when you need it.
Not before, not after—right when you’re ready to live it.
