Description
Hello there, my name is Cristina. I live on a large farmhouse in the north-east of Italy with my husband, GB, our two dogs, three cats and a handful of chickens. Our house is next to a small river and surrounded by vineyards. We can see the Dolomites in the distance and we're less than an hour away from Venice.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We offer a warm welcome and some peace and quiet in exchange for a few hours of help. We're also happy to show travellers around our area, get them to meet our friends and family, and drive them to the local train station from where they can explore the Veneto region, knowing they have a good base to come back to.
Help
Both GB and I have day jobs: I teach English at a nearby school while GB works with disabled people. We'd love to get help looking after the house (cleaning and DIY - we're doing some renovations), cooking, taking the dogs for a walk, feeding the chickens, and looking after the garden. We also have a vegetable patch that we haven't been able to attend to due to lack of time.

Accommodation
Travellers are offered their own apartment which is attached to our living space. As our house is currently being renovated, some spirit of adaptation will be required on occasion. Meals can be shared whenever we're at home but travellers' intimacy and own personal space is also greatly valued.
What else ...
Our place is most suitable to travellers who enjoy cycling and walking. Our village is very quiet and there's not much to do. That said, it's a great place to practice meditation and yoga, and to recharge your batteries away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
