Description
Hi! My name is Stefano, I live and work in a small mountain town in the heart of the Aosta Valley. I'm a ski instructor and I run a small supermarket and some rental accommodation.
I was also a Workawayer in Ireland in 2015!
I have already hosted fantastic people who have enriched me with new ideas and enthusiasm, for me confrontation and sharing are the real reason why I am a host!
The place where I live is 1300 meters above the sea level, in spring there are green meadows and long sunny days, summer is hot but not stifling (hardly reaching 28-30°c), autumn is very quiet, there are beautiful days, spectacular colors and is an excellent destination for mountain excursions. The air is fresh and pure, people are busy but very quiet! Winter is also spectacular. I live 10 minutes from Monterosa Ski, a resort with over 100km of slopes and many freeride routes. For those who love the mountains, it's a great place to do sport and be outdoors!
I'm curious to meet people from all over the world and I will be proud to show you the beauties and culture of my little paradise in the Alps!

Help
WINTER 2023-2024
For this winter I already have boys to help me with the cleaning of my vacation apartments. For this reason I can't host for the whole season but there may be times when I need extra help with both the apartments and the supermarket The work will be paid 7€/hour. My business takes up so much of my time so I could also need some help with household chores like cooking, washing dishes, cleaning the house.
But actually the real reason I am a Host is to meet new people from all over the world, share stories, talk, have fun. I don't have much time to travel, so I decided to bring travellers to me!
