Description
Hi workawayers,
we are the Affaba's, a friendly Italian family composed by me, Roberto, my wife Simona, our sons Claudio (28 y.o.) and Andrea (24 y.o.), Natsumi (30 y.o. from Tokyo,Claudio’s wife) and two cats: Milù and Micio Nero.
We live in Lodi (Italy), a nice city with nice parks, nice historical buildings and a beautiful river Adda where you can go fishing or canoeing.
Our home is near the railway station (5 minute walk) so you can reach Milan (18 minutes by train) or other nearby city easily and quickly.
Our family loves have fun with friends and relative or spend our free time visiting museum going to the cinema, theater, music show, art exhibition or playing sports (football, volleyball, cycling, skiing, snowboarding).
Our home is a quiet place, where you can relax, listening music, reading...ecc.
Some times during the weekend we go for a visit tour in one of some nearby Italian city or for a cycling in the country side.
