    Description

    Hi, my name is Marco, I'm 52 years old. I am the father of Tommaso (11 years old) and Matteo (15 years old). They are friendly and very curious kids, lively and polite and used to meeting new people. They live partly with me and partly with their mother. We are all very sociable and open to new experiences.
    We love meeting new people and their life experiences. I am a chef and an Italian cuisine teacher in a high school. I am very passionate about sailing, cycling and trekking. I love being surrounded by nature in silence and in places away from chaos. I am very good at doing practical work (painting, building, repairing...). I'm learning English to travel and teach cooking to foreign students.
    I would like to host people to learn English, cook together and spend pleasant hours.
    I usually teach in the evening, so you will have the opportunity to have your freedom during the afternoon and evening. If you want, you can visit Brescia or the nearby cities (Verona, Bergamo, Milan) or relax on the paths in the woods near home.
    We live in Caino, a small town in the hills, 20 minutes by bus or car from Brescia.
