    Description

    I am Federica and I live in Diso together with my pets. Diso is nice little town in the south of salento-lecce.
    I live in a nice house with a little garden and I also have a little piece of land where I do gardening and play with my dogs. They are 2 dogs, (Shanty and Jack), 4 cats, ( Mario, Melbourne, Mila and Nerina).
    They are all very sweet and they love cuddles. Shanty is 13 and Jack is 4 years old.
    I love art, photography , gardening , renovation of old furniture and most of all I love to cook.
    Diso is only 5 minutes drive from the sea,from Castro and Marittina. Is a beautiful cost line to explore and there are many little town to visit .

    Salento Is very nice place to visit, where nature, food, the wind and the seas meets, to create beauty. During the autumn you can still enjoy the sea and all the coast line. Food Is simple but amazing. Veggies and fresh cheese are the best. I also love to cook so we will share amazing recipes, walks and adventures.

    Help

    I will need someone, a real animal lover, that can look after my pets while I am away . Animals will need to be fed, seated and cleaned. One of them takes medication twice a day.

    I lived 6 years in Australia so my English is fluent enough to share a daily life or laugh together but not always grammatically correct.
