  Beschreibung

  Hi! I'm an American who has lived in Italy for 30 years. I live in a 15th-century palazzo right on the main Piazza del Comune in Assisi's historic center, with the entire town literally outside the front door and a quick bus ride to the train station, with direct trains to Rome, Florence, and other cities. I have two sons: my 2022 year old who is in Switzerland and my 19 year old who is in Bologna at university.
  
  I am a freelance writer and travel consultant, and very relaxed and welcoming. I ran an inn for 20 years and continue to work in travel, so enjoy having guests and meeting new friends. We began with an informal work exchange with a Canadian friend-of-a-friend a few years ago and had such a wonderful experience that we thought we would try again. We have had six workawayers over the past years, and it has been fantastic!
  
  ---We will consider two female friends traveling together. I do not host couples, so please do not contact me if you are a couple.---

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  Assisi is very centrally located and well-connected by train to most of Italy, so this is the perfect situation for someone who would like to combine a home stay with a bit of traveling or day tripping. We are in the center of town, so you are not isolated and can easily step out to take a walk or get to the train station to explore further afield.

  Arbeit

  I'm a freelancer who works about 60 hours a week from home and would love one or both of these exchanges:
  
  an experienced and talented gardener to whip our three terraces (mostly potted plants) into shape
  
  an experienced personal trainer and/or healthy cook to whip me into shape
  
  Both of these tasks won't take more than a few hours a day, so you'll have plenty of free time to explore.

  Unterkunft

  You will have your own bedroom and en suite bathroom in our house. The bedroom opens onto a (shared) outdoor terrace overlooking the piazza. The rest of the house is common space that you are welcome to use as a part of the family, which includes a kitchen, living room, and home gym.

  Was noch ...

  In addition to Assisi and the main towns in Umbria, our house is very well positioned for getting to the train station to explore all of central Italy.

  Kann Digital Nomads unterbringen

  I also work from home, so our wi-fi is generally quite reliable though it can get quirky at times. You would have a separate space with a desk and lots of natural light.

  I may consider hosting a dog (we lost our beloved Rhodesian Ridgeback last year).
