  Description

  Hi,
  my name is Marella. I live in a small village in Italy, near Turin, in the northern part of Italy. I have a house with a big garden in the countryside but the city of Turin is very close (20 minutes by car).
  I live with my two boys Alberto (16 years old) and Alessadro (almost 15) They study and practice a lot of sports and they enjoy stayng with friends. They have a good english level but I would like them to improve the language and I think that the best way would be staying with an elder friend sharing their time. I also need someone to drive Alessadro to school in the morning and to pick him up in the afternoon. During winter we go to the mountain during weekends and often the guys go even during the week to train for races and I would like you to join them. They are both skiers.
  In the morning , when they are at school you are free.
  We also have a cat, Minnie.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I think that this kind of experience could be interesting even for the traveller, because he could live with two young boys and understand another culture, visit the north of Italy, Turin, Milan, the Langhe and our beautiful mountains. We often on trips when we don't go to ski, for example in autumn and spring, sometimes with friends and I think this would be nice. A couple of our friends has an aupair , so he could be a friend for our guest.
