Vom Workawayer (Zuzana) für Host

Well, where to start... Twenty-five days in Tuscany with Joseph and Isabel were such an experience! From the first moment, when I arrived and saw their beautiful house surrounded by the magnificent Tuscan countryside, it was like a dream. I quickly fell in love with that place, because it's such calm and harmony and you can easily feel there like… read more at home.

Isabel and Joseph are really interesting and intelligent people. If you like to discuss, this is the right place for you! I guess we talk about everything! Sometimes it was quite hard to explain my opinions in Italian, but it was always really interesting. We used to eat together and every time it wasn't just food but more like a cultural meeting. I was impressed by how much do they know about art and Italy and I really enjoyed all the talks about their experiences with other Workawayers. Sometimes the talks were more deep and made me think a lot, sometimes we had big fun together. But boring? Never ever.

They are also generous and thoughtful. They were very tolerant of my food, they bought me some of my specialities and always cared if I'm not hungry and so on. They support my captivation in art and travelling and were super obliging. During the short period which I spend there, I visited Florence (twice!), Siena, Lucca, Pisa and San Gimignano. Every time I returned from the trip they cared how was my day and were really pleased that I was happy and excited.

This stay was such a gift for my Italian! They were very helpful and patient with my language skills. They carefully corrected my mistakes and encouraged me to talk a lot, even when I was scared of the mistakes. I can see big progress thanks to them and I hope I'll be able to keep it.

The work is really simple, I just took care of all the cute animals, feed them and cleaned the horse paddocks. Of course, I helped them with the house, as I'd do at home (cleaning, preparing table etc.). Either way, I had plenty of time to other activities - I used to go jogging (there is a super cute running trail!), I could read, take a siesta and of course, I studied a lot! For the people who aren't very precise, first days can be hard, the house has many own rules, but as you learn them it's not difficult at all. Just be prepared for staying a few days alone in a house.

To sum it up, I would be able to write all day about my experiences because I had a great time there! I believe that the memories will stay with me forever...

Allora.. Grazie mille per tutto e non vedo l'ora di rivedervi!
