Description
I live with my husband in the historic and suggestive Cosenza. A picturesque little town surrounded by mountains and crossed by Crati and Busento rivers. The city is rich in history, monuments, cinéma, theaters, museums, pubs, café, restaurants, pizzeria.....I teach French in a middle school of Cosenza and my husband is a lawyer. My two children live on their own. I usually host only during the summer in my wonderful beach house with garden when l'm free from work but l could consider your proposals also in others periods.
My passions include studying english, reading, dancing Tango , singing and gardening. I practice also yoga and meditation and I enjoy cooking. I am interested in hosting British or Irish people of the same age as me (50-60 yo) and with l could have an exchange of hospitality.
