Presentation:
• Hello, we are a family with children of age of 10 boy, 16 girl and 18 boy. We live in a big family house in a nice and calm green area on the Southern border of Milan, good connected in 20 minutes to the city center. Our family is composed of: me, Tanya – mom, 49, Italo-German, language passionate, positive and curious, Donato – dad, 47, Italian, pharmacy technician, he's a particular laughing, but he's very often travelling during the week, Romeo - 18, seams to be shy, but he isn’t. He’s studying mechatronic and plays rugby and sometimes soccer with his friends. Siria – 16, interested in photography and instagram addicted, loves rap music. She's starting international marketing... and our last one Leo – 10, is playing basketball and loves computer games !
We are an open mind family and always ready for new international friends. We just came back from a tre weeks travel in Vietnam, in which we've met some nice new friends from Israel and Taiwan.
We have a big guest room, that we use in the winter-time as gym-place for kick boxe, ping pong play place. Near to our house there are nice green trails for jogging, basketball and football play grounds.
This year we are looking to host one or two workawayers, that can practise english and german reading/conversation to our two boys of age 10 and 18.

We would like to host one or two workawayers around 18-20 years, mainly for English or/and German Conversation for teenager. It would be nice to meet funny, open minded, creative youngster, maybe used to have younger brothers or sisters.
Your one weeks stay will be during our long school summer holidays (3 months!!!) .
During the week-day we would like to ask you to do 4-5 hours of conversation : 3 hrs from 10 am to 1 pm, having lunch together around 1 / 2 pm and one more hour from ca 2 pm to 3 pm doing some games together like cards/dards/pingpong together. I'm usually be present at home, so we can organise the hours program together with you, as the two ages are very different. It could be that some friends of their age will join, too.
