  Description

  We are a family of 5 members (Italian dad, Argentine mom, two girls and a boy). We live in Canosio, in the Italian Alps. We are looking for a 6th (and maybe a 7th) member to join the family and help us with the children, the house, the garden and some physical work :)

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are an Italian-Argentinian family, living in a small town in the Italian Alps. By staying with us, you can not only enjoy the beauty of the landscape (lakes, rivers, mountains, forests) and the animals of the place, but also get to know the native culture. The people in the area are very friendly and speak both Italian and the local dialect (Occitan).
  This is a little town with a very strong feeling of community, so you will be able to learn a lot from everybody here (from food tradition to how take care of an hort, language and culture, changing dipers and mountain sports). As we will be sharing at least one meal a day, you will also be able to feel as a part of the family. We are also looking forward to learn from you!

Quedandose con nosotros, no solo pueden disfrutar de la belleza del paisaje (lagos, rios, montanas, bosques) y los animales del lugar, sino tambien conocer la cultura autoctona. La gente de la zona es muy simpatica y habla tanto italiano como el dialecto local (occitano).
  Este es un pueblo pequeno con un sentimiento muy fuerte de comunidad, asi que vas a poder aprender mucho de todos quienes habitan aqui (desde tradiciones alimentarias hasta como cuidar de una huerta, lengua y cultura, cambiar panales y deportes de montana). Como vamos a compartir al menos una comida al dia, vas a sentirte parte de la familia. Tambien queremos aprender de vos!

  Accommodation

  Recently we bought an apartment in the town, 50 meters from the house. It has a kitchen, bathroom and a room so volunteers will be able to have privacy and enjoy their own place. We share one meal a day at our house. For the rest of the week's food, we go together to Cuneo to make a purchase, for which we give them the money (40eu per person).
  
  Hace poco tiempo compramos un departamento en el pueblo, a 50mts de la casa. Cuenta con cocina, bano y un cuarto por lo que los voluntarios van a poder tener intimidad y disfrutar de su propio lugar.
  
  Una de las comidas al dia la compartimos en nuestra casa. Para el resto de la alimentacion de la semana, vamos juntos a Cuneo a hacer una compra, para la cual les damos el dinero (40eu por persona).
