  Description

  Hi! We are a family of three people, two parents and a girl who is 6 years old. Me and my husband are medical doctors.
  I am 43 and my husband Andrea is 45.
  We like very much to get in touch with people, we quite fluently speak English and French.
  We have travelled a lot and we like to meet different cultures.
  Petra is a curious blonde, little girl, she is studying English at school and she is very friendly and affective.
  We usually have dinner all together, and often also breakfast since my husband and I have shift work.
  During the summer we go to the beach very frequently during the week and the week ends since we have a booked equipped beach from June to September. In Viareggio it is also possible to go to a wonderful free beach too.
  We quite always go around on foot or by bike.
  We sometimes go out for dinner and meet friends in the evenings at home as well as outside. Petra usually comes with us during the evenings.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Hi! We are Valentina, Andrea and Petra! We are Italians and we live in Viareggio, a famous seaside city in Tuscany.
  
  Viareggio is a really nice place, with large beaches, pinewoods, a very good climate. There is a wonderful promenade and lots of bars, meeting points and amenities. Especially in summer, the city is very attractive because of the many opportunities it offers.
  
  The city is really close to Pisa (20 min by train), Lucca (20 min by train), Florence (1.20 min by train). Siena can be joined in two hours by train and Rome is 4 hours away by train.
  
  Our home is a large house located in the center of the city, 600 meters away from the beach and 300 meters away from the railway station. A bus stop is located 150 meters away from home.
  At home we have a garden and two large terraces.
  A good school for stranger is located 500 meters from home, near a very good pastry! A very famous summer lyric theatre, Puccini theater is 6 km away.
