Description
I am a retired Italian man after many years work in the US, the UK and France. Kids are all grown up and live elsewhere but come to visit from time to time. I travel from occasionally for periods to 1 to 3 weeks and often socialise with friends in Perugia. You are welcome to consider this your free resort holiday in Italy in exchange for some muscle work.
