Exchange languages and learn about gardening in Calabria, Italy

Details

  Description

  I am from Rome and I am based in Cetraro (Calabria region), but I go to Rome once or twice per month. Here in southern Italy I started few months ago a biological farm at my property on a hill in front of the sea and with a wonderful view on it, where my father also helps me. I have olive trees, some fruit trees and I grow vegetables.
  I would be happy to have a cultural exchange with somebody who would like to learn something about agriculture, cooking, wood.
  But Workawayers would not be helping with the tasks of the farm nor will be helping with any renovation tasks.
  I would love also a language exchange: I would like to learn a little of your language and I can teach you Italian, German or English (I lived in Germany for 8 years), at your choice.
  The nature at my place here in southern Italy is very nice and I can drive you by car or provide to you a bicycle (also electric bike) to reach the village or the beach. Time to time I go to my home in Rome, which is located in a central neighborhood rather popular and well connected even by public transport. You could join me even in Rome when you want to.
  My father is very sociable and sometimes also my mother comes over, when she is not in Rome or Sardinia.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  The cultural exchange can take place in each part of the day: during the meals, where often friends come over, or while doing something together, either some gardening or a walk on the beach or a bicycle tour together, eventually even with my father or friends. I am curoius to learn your culture, lifestyle and the habits and traditions of your country.

  Accommodation

  Depending on the period I can provide either a room completely for you or an entire apartment.
  I eat and cook anything but especially Italian food. If you are egetarian it is no problem at all, I eat a lot of vegetables and many are from my garden. I eat also fish that I buy directly from the fishermen and also meat but not so often (if you want it often it is no problem).
  We can make the barbecue and I also have a piece of wood so I have a lot of good firewood, also from olive trees.
  
  I will be happy to offer you 3 meals per day (if you are vegetarian or vegan is also fine). Most of the times we will eat together, if you like it.

  What else ...

  You can visit many nice places here around, some times we could go together and visit some friends of mine or uncles/aunts. You / we can go to the beach, to a Cafè or to get an aperitivo! I can either drive you by car or you can take public transport or a bicycle (I have many, also electric).
  Sometimes my lovely neighbors will invite us for lunch or dinner :)
