Description
We are an italian family of 3. I'm Marco I'm 51, I'm a chef and an italian cooking teacher in an important school in the north of Italy; I'm very passionate about sailing boat and fishing and trekking and very able to do practical things ( painting, building, repairing...). I have two young boys Tommaso is 10 and Matteo is 15, they are very courius, lively and polite and used to meet new people. We are all very social and open to live new experiences.
We like to meet new people, socialize, exchange information and skills and we would like learn and improve our English.
