Hi Workawayers!
We are Claudia, Salvatore and our son Simone, (39 - 42 - almost 4 years old) based in a beautiful part of Apulia region called Salento, near the amazing Adriatic coast.
Also we had Workaway experiences in Canada but this time we decided to be host!
We live in Salento (Apulia), in a small and quite town called Melendugno, near Lecce, the main city around us e near to the beautiful Adriatic Sea, in a big house with a nice garden with grass, olive trees and a small vegetables garden that need a lot of care everyday. But It's fun!
We are a very dynamic people, with a lot of ideas and projects about arts, music and culture. We love playing piano and drums, but now we are interesting to percussions and ukulele and... English lessons!
In our same village, we start an homeschooling project with a small group of kids (3/4 years old) called Piccoli Semi - Crescere in Natura, sometimes we organize creative laboratory with children of the same age.
Our life style is very easy, close to the nature we have all around, trying our best to be a better person every day. For this reason we try to don't buy at the supermarket or take the car, preferring street and local market and bike!
In this moment we're looking for help with some project we have at home, painting, new wood floor for a new recording music studio, general cleaning, babysitting, gardending, for all the activities we have in our family.
If you are interesting to our way for life, please read the other informations and write us for any questions!Types of help and learning opportunities

You will be immersed in our Italian life style, good food, espresso, pasta and the best pizza of your life, of course!
We love cooking and if you would like to know real italian recipes we will be happy to share our personal secrets.
But it's also important discover Salento area and the beautiful places we have all around (looking for Grotta della Poesia, Torre dell'Orso, Otranto, Lecce, Gallipoli, Adriatic and Ionian Coast).
On Sunday we are used to have trekking morning or cycling along the coast, live concerts in the night or playing at home, but also when you're alone, you can take one of our bikes and arrive to the sea in 15 min.Projects involving children
