Description
Hi,I'm Nina and I had many unforgettable experiences with more than ten workaweyers in the past. I'm still in touch with most of them, but afters 8 years I have to reset my profile to fit in my new needs.
I'm a retired lady that finally have time to travel with my RV! I live in Lucca with my cousin, who is like a brother for me. We have two cats who need daily cuddles and feeding unfortunately my cousin may be away from time to time for work. I will be traveling for two months.
Your duties are:
1> To take daily care of the cats if my cousin is away.
2> Provide language immersion in mandarin to my cousin if he is at home, evenings and weekends as agreed. He will be working during the week.
My cousin also has an apartment close to Pavia and you have the option, if you wish, to spend some or all of your time there with my cousin and the cats if you want to explore that part of Italy.
Sadly my cousin only speaks French and Italian but he would he happy to take you to interesting places that you want to see as part of the mandarin immersion. He tells me that his standard of mandarin is that of a 4 year old child, so I guess you will need to keep it simple! (he watches lots of peppa pig!). He enjoys the outdoors, hiking, cycling, skiing, via ferrata (only if the weather is suitable), finding the best restaurants, the best Italian ingredients, focaccia, cheese, gelato etc…. and sometimes his cooking is good! He can also take you to visit Milan and the surrounding cities.
**Lucca** is a wonderful small city between Florence and Pisa, in the amazing Tuscany! You will have a lot of time to visit the surrounding area and to enjoy the history, the nature and the great landscapes of this region.
**Pavia**, close to Milan, and if you want to explore also the north of Italy, the alps, hiking/skiing and traditions of other parts of italy.
