Description
There are six of us in our busy house! Daddy Paolo, Mummy Valentina, Leila 10 years old, Loris and Liam (twins) 6 years old and Omer the cat.
We are a very active family always on the move, we love playing with our children, reading books (in English too) and enjoying life outdoors in the parks and countryside.
We often travel around Italy discovering new places. This is not our first experience with workaway as we like to share our home and culture with interesting people who become friends.
