  Beschreibung

  Hello, I am sicilian, I was born in Switzerland. I lived in Catania, Rome, Brescia, Trento and recently I decided to be back at my homeland. I have studied and worked as archaeologist and recently I became a Tour Guide. I love travelling, people, several cultures, nature and I hope I can mix and share all my different experiences by meeting new people in my house in Sicily. I live here with my 2 dogs.

  Kultureller Austausch und Lernmöglichkeiten

  We offer a place where sharing, enjoying, learning, in change of help for working at the house and the garden.
  
  I travelled and met many persons. As archaeologist, i can suggest you many places to visit, sometimes we can also plan some trip together (sharing fees). I can teach you italian, we can sing traditional songs, sometimes I organize workshops with children and sometimes you could enjoy some live music with my friends.
  Starting march many trees are already in flowers in Sicily, landscapes are beautyful, sunny days can be warm and food is one of things that people never forget after their visit in our beautyful island.
  We can also cook together or you can share your tipical dish with us.

  PLEASE WRITE IN YOUR MESSAGE HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP.
  I need to take care of the house after several years it has been closed and there will be some works to do.
  
  Skills with gardening and builduing will be appreciate and I will give priority to people that own them and can organize their own work independently.
  Here a list of tasks I would like to do:
  
  - Help in preparing a garden (ability in buidling boxes and preparing the soil);
  garden projects (I will be glad to have someone that already knows how to do)
  - Building a wooden fence;
  - restoring old pots;
  
  Partecipation in cleaning common used parts of the house daily is always expected.
  
  We prefer to welcome a couple if you come with skills, willingness to help.
  I will be flexible.
  My real mission is to bring this house to life again!
  I have 2 dogs. 1 cat.
  In July and august could be very hot. The town is at 560 m on sea level so at night is cooler then in other town like Catania.
  Thanks
