    Description

    I am Stefania, I am 30 years old, I am a landscape architect and I work in Vivaio and in Farmhouse with my family for 9 years. I would like to have this reception experience to have a cultural exchange at work and learn English better. I think there are many stimuli here, both at work and by visiting the splendid province of Ragusa. I chose to stay in this land because I love her light and people, her tranquility and slowness of every day. The ideal would be to host a couple of friends who like the work in the countryside and want to know the beauties of the well-known Val

    Sono Stefania,ho 30 anni, sono architetto paesaggista e lavoro in Vivaio e in Agriturismo con la mia famiglia da 9 anni. Mi piacerebbe fare quest'esperienza di accoglienza per avere uno scambio culturale anche sul lavoro e imparare meglio la lingua inglese. Penso che qui vi siano molti stimoli, sia a lavoro che visitando la splendida provincia di Ragusa. Ho scelto di restare in questa terra perchè amo la sua luce e la gente, la sua tranquillità e lentezza di ogni giorno. L'ideale sarebbe ospitare una coppia di amici a cui piacciono i lavoretti in campagna e vuole conoscere le bellezze del Val di noto
