  Help

  We would ask for travellers that stay with us to speak to our children in Italian or French since we have a trip coming soon to Italy and France and we would like to gain some knowledge and are interested in learning more about those cultures from a native speaker. Our kids are most of the day at school and out on activities so evening and dinner time would be the perfect moment for these exchanges. If the person feels comfortable about it, we would also ask them to drive our kids to or from their activities that are in close proximity. Our kids areas of interest are the following: music (piano and guitar), soccer, aerial silks, gymnastics, kayaking, hiking, mountain bike riding, horse riding, visual arts, story telling, cooking.
