    Description

    We are seeking volunteers for a cultural exchange in our country home.

    We live in a country home surrounded by nature. We are a family, consisting of my parents and me, and we live a life connected to the home and the outdoor spaces that surround us. We welcome open-minded and curious people who want to share a moment of daily life with us and lend a hand with everyday household and country chores. The help we require involves small daily tasks, such as tending the vegetable garden and garden, collecting firewood, and taking care of the outdoor and common areas. These are light tasks, carried out together and in a family context, with no professional or commercial nature. Our home is not a business, and volunteers are never considered substitutes for workers. We enjoy sharing meals, cooking together, chatting, and sharing our diverse life experiences. At home, we speak Italian; I also speak Spanish, and we are happy to host people who speak other languages. We offer accommodation in a welcoming and always warm home, with all the necessary amenities. The spaces are spacious and offer a variety of sleeping options, ensuring each volunteer has their own space and feels at home. Food is shared, and we strive to create a peaceful and respectful environment, based on collaboration and coexistence. We'd love to meet open-minded, respectful people interested in a genuine experience of sharing time, daily activities, and life in the countryside.

    Cerchiamo volontari per uno scambio culturale nella nostra casa di campagna

    Viviamo in una casa di campagna immersa nella natura. Siamo una famiglia, composta da me e dai miei genitori, e conduciamo una vita legata alla casa e agli spazi esterni che ci circondano. Ci fa piacere accogliere persone aperte e curiose che abbiano voglia di condividere con noi un periodo di vita quotidiana e di darci una mano nelle normali attività di casa e di campagna.

    L’aiuto richiesto riguarda piccoli lavori quotidiani, come occuparsi dell’orto e del giardino, raccogliere la legna e prendersi cura degli spazi esterni e comuni. Si tratta di attività leggere, svolte insieme e in un contesto familiare, senza alcun carattere professionale o commerciale. La nostra casa non è un’attività lavorativa e i volontari non sono mai considerati come sostituti di lavoratori .
    Ci piace condividere i pasti, cucinare insieme, chiacchierare e confrontarci su esperienze di vita diverse. In casa parliamo italiano; io parlo anche spagnolo e siamo felici di ospitare persone che parlino altre lingue.
    Offriamo alloggio in una casa accogliente e sempre calda, con tutti i servizi necessari. Gli spazi sono ampi e ci sono diverse possibilità per dormire, così che ogni volontario possa avere il proprio posto e sentirsi a casa. Il cibo è condiviso e cerchiamo di creare un ambiente sereno e rispettoso, basato sulla collaborazione e sulla convivenza.

    Due giorni a settimana saranno garantiti liberi e gli altri giorni le ore di aiuto saranno 4-5.

    Ci piacerebbe incontrare persone disponibili, rispettose e interessate a vivere un’esperienza autentica di scambio, condividendo il tempo, le attività quotidiane e la vita in campagna.
