Description
I am a mother tongue English teacher from London living alone (with my dog lol) in Rome. I am 53 years of age and have been living in Italy since 2009.

Animal Care
Creating/ Cooking family meals
Help around the house
Help with Computers/ Internet
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
They could see at first hand the lifestyle of an Expat British person in Italy. I could introduce the visitor to people in the local community where he or she could learn some elementary Italian. I used to work in British politics and so would be happy to share something of my experience working in public life.
Help
I have a small dog, Eddie, who I would appreciate being looked after when I go out for long periods. I am not a technophobe but I could with some computer assistance. I am a rotten cook and so would like the volunteer to cook. There is a communal garden that needs attention every now and then. Our house is in the Monteverde Vecchio district of Rome, near the Janiculum Hill.

Martin is always there to chat over a glass of wine after the hot Italian days. This makes him a very pleasant host to live with.
