Description
I'm an Italian-American living in Rimini Italy, an exciting sea side town built for tourists!
My apartment is very close to the sea (there's a sea view!) and about a one hour bus ride away from San Marino. I'm very close to the train station so it will be easy to travel here with public transportation.
I lived in Korea for two years teaching English and I desperately miss delicious 한식!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Rimini and the neighboring Riccione (connected by public transportation during the day only!) is full of nightlife, but I don't usually go out to bars and clubs anymore, I will go with you once or twice if you like.
I work full time and I work from home online part time from the living room. So I ask for respect when I teach online lessons, all other times we can share the living room space.
I am a native English speaker and a trained English teacher with over 5 years of experience teaching English. So I can offer English lessons in exchange for your work.
I was also a personal trainer and group fitness instructor for 6 years in Los Angeles, so if you wanted to use this work-away exchange as a fitness and nutrition boot camp for yourself I can offer personal training and nutrition advice in exchange for your work.
I am looking for help with practicing the Korean language and improving my skills cooking Korean food because Korean food is my favorite food in the world! I studied Korean for 2 years in Korea and I don't want to lose my Korean language skills.
I am interested in foods from all other cultures also!
I am open to hosting work-awayers from any country for the fooooood!
If you don't know how to cook or you don't like cooking this is NOT the work-away for you!
Help
I am looking for a Korean work-awayer who will help with cooking, grocery shopping, cleaning and langauge exchange!

Water my bonsai tree, bring it inside if it's too windy or too hot on days when I am at work
Korean-English language exchange practice at least 1 hour once a week

I am studying Italian as a primary focus. I want to maintain my Korean language skills. My first degree was in Spanish, and as I study Italian I am starting to get my Spanish and Italian jumbled up, so I would also be interested in help refreshing my Spanish language skills. (I also love Mexican food, and other South American cuisines!)
Accommodation
You will stay in the larger, double bedroom in my apartment. The bathroom, kitchen and living room are shared. You will have a double bed, a large wardrobe, 2 nightstands, and a large vanity in your room. There is also a large trunk in your room that is full of linens that cannot fit anywhere else in the apartment where you can probably stash your suitcase if it's small, if not there is a closet on the mezzanine floor were we can put your luggage.
When we go supermarket shopping together I will buy food within a budget of about 40-50 euros per week which is usually more than enough. If I need you to go shopping without me I will make a list and give you money to buy the groceries for the week.
If you want to eat at a restaurant I do not provide money for that. If we go out to eat we should split the bill or each pay for what we order. You are always welcome to eat anything in the house if you don't want to go out to eat.
What else ...
In your free time you can visit San Marino, go to the San Marino outlets, or the shopping center. Wednesdays and Saturdays there is a huge street market throughout the entire city center in the mornings. On the last Sunday of every month there is an antique and local artisans market throughout the city center.
I live in Marina Centro, so it's very close to the beach and the boardwalk. You can ride a bike all the way to Riccione (you will have to rent one I don't own a bike yet). You can also visit the neighboring San Giuliano, or go to San Giuliano Mare. The free beach is very close to my home also, just a short walk north toward the pier and the giant Ferris Wheel.
Most of Rimini and the surrounding areas that are nice to visit are easily accessable by bus or train. If you want to take a day trip or a weekend trip for yourself Venice is near enough and so are many other cities. There is a shuttle bus that goes to Bologna from the Rimini train station and you can take cheap flights to many different cities all around Europe for a weekend trip also.
