  Description

  Hello Workawayers! I'm a 33-year-old woman living in a centrally located apartment in Molveno. I share my home with two female dogs.
  I'm looking for someone who can help me play with my dogs and practice English with me, correcting any mistakes I make.
  
  I have one day off each week that I enjoy spending in company, but since I'll be working, the person I host should be fairly independent as they will spend several hours alone.
  
  Molveno, where I live, offers numerous activities. It's a beautiful place surrounded by nature, perfect for hiking, water sports on the lake, and exploring the local culture. If you love the outdoors and are interested in experiencing life in a charming Italian village, I'd love to hear from you!
  
  !! Please, Check on Google Maps where the town is located and how you can get there. It is quite far from the airports and main cities, generally if you travel by public transport you have to plan a day's travel.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Molveno is a charming tourist town that attracts visitors from all over the world. Throughout the year, there are various local events, and the breathtaking beauty of the Brenta Dolomites plays a central role in the area's culture and lifestyle. As a local, I can share a lot about the history and traditions of the region, and I love exploring the trails that lead to some of the most stunning peaks.
  
  Although my English is still a work in progress, we will be able to communicate easily. Molveno has a strong culture of hospitality, so you’ll feel welcomed and integrated into the local community.
  
  During your time here, you’ll have the chance to fully immerse yourself in the local culture, participate in community events, and explore the pristine nature of the Dolomites. You will also get to know the area's culinary traditions and meet people from all over the world who visit this beautiful region.

  Help

  The most important task is helping with my two medium-to-large-sized female dogs, including playtime and general care. It's important that the person is comfortable with animals and can handle daily needs such as walks and basic care.
  
  You can decide which walk to join—morning, afternoon, or evening—whichever fits your schedule best. I usually walk them at all three times, so it's enough if you help with one of these walks.
  
  We can practice English while preparing meals or, if you prefer, during a walk together. This way, you'll still have plenty of free time to relax or do sports if you like.
  
  The help I need isn’t too demanding, so we can plan things around what works best for you. I'm very flexible, and we can also set aside full days off if needed.
  Feel free to take the lead in organizing the day!!

  This host offers a language exchange
  I want to learn English well so I can read books in their original language, as reading is a passion we can share. Also, improving my English would be very helpful for my job. I can teach Italian without any problems, and I believe in learning through practice rather than just grammar.

  Accommodation

  I live in a fairly large apartment that can accommodate up to two people. I offer a private bedroom for more privacy and freedom, while I stay in the living room with the dogs to have more flexibility with my working hours.
  
  The apartment has a balcony overlooking the main street of the town’s historic center. During the tourist season, it can get lively, but it’s not overly noisy. Everything you need is within walking distance, as the apartment is located right in the heart of the town. Additionally, there are public transport options connecting to larger towns and the city of Trento.
  
  Molveno is a small town, and while it has all the basic services, it doesn't offer large shopping centers or big stores. The local supermarket has some essentials, but it’s not well stocked with fresh products. If you have specific needs or if you require certain items, especially if you're vegetarian or vegan, please let me know in advance, and we can try to arrange something.

  What else ...

  Molveno is a popular tourist destination, offering plenty of leisure activities (especially in summer), but it might not be the most economical place. While I'll do my best to support you, please keep in mind the possible costs of leisure activities during your stay.
  
  In your free time, you can enjoy a wide range of activities, from hiking and mountain biking to water sports on the lake. The surrounding Brenta Dolomites offer spectacular trails for all levels of hikers, and I’ll be happy to show you the most beautiful spots.
  
  Molveno itself is a charming village with a rich local culture and picturesque streets, perfect for exploring at a relaxed pace. There are also several cozy cafés and restaurants to enjoy local food and meet people.
  
  For those interested in traveling further, public transport links connect Molveno to larger towns and the city of Trento. However, since the village is located away from the main transport routes, travel can take a bit longer, and you should plan extra time for the journey.
