Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
WIth my family, you can have a glimpse on 2 different cultures at a time, if you stay with my family. And you can lern italian, as we speak italian in the family.
My town is nice but not touristy, so you'll be in a 100% italian environment, when you walk out of our house.
We live at day-trip distance from sites as Florence, Venice, Verona etc etc. It's a very strategic position that will allow you to take nice sightseeing trips with us or on your own. And if you like italian food ( real pasta, ice cream, pizza. i mean the real one, not that " pizza hut" style stuff), then this is the place for you.
You'll have the chance to use a gym in the morning, in case you like working out, it'll be free of charge for you.

Help
Dear travellers, i'm Raphael and i'm 7 years old ( 8 by the time you arrive). I would like to have someone to help me with learning english. I'm doing ok with it, i've been learning it since i was 1, but i need to keep it up, right? It'll be fun. If you love dogs, even better. My best friend is a labrador,Sven, he's 5 and he'll love to have you as a friend. Oh, one last thing, do you like cooking? If you like, you can help with preparing my dinner from time to time. If you come in may-june - july, most of your day will be by the poolside so bring your books. So, come talk to me!

What else ...
We live in Carpi, Italy, pop. 70.000. We live 12 walking minutes away from a train station that can connect you (directly or with 1 connection) to every major italian city. Free italian classes for foreigners are available at walking distance ( 5 minutes). Our house is in a residential area, 10 walking minutes away from the city center.
We like meeting friends, having good food with them, taking daytrips to nice places ( last one was at Cinque Terre), and we like to live in harmony. We try to have a healthy diet, eat a lot of organic products and reduce to the max our meat consumption. Some of us basically don't eat meat, but it's ok if you do.
