Description
Ciao! I'm Vanna
I have two daughters Nadine (25) and Miriam (21), they don't live with me anymore, sometimes they came to visit me.
I live near Pisa, the famous city of the lining tower, in a small nice green village called Calci.
I like to meet people coming from other countries to improve foreign languages and exchange worldviews to enhance my understanding of world and life.
I studied social anthropology, I'm a counselor helping people in managing interpersonal conflict and Traditional Chinese Medicine therapist.
I want to welcome and create connections, I belive in the value of exchange like a way to manage relationship in a fair mood.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Calci is 12 km far from Pisa where you can go to Florence, Siena, Lucca, Livorno and other place in our nice region (Tuscany) in less than two hour by train. Furthermore Tuscany is famous in the word for the lovely countryside (seaside, hills and mountains)
Pisa is one of the more important University city in Italy, the bus stop to Pisa is in front of our house!
