    We're a family of two, me and my son (8 years old), he's very friendly and fun. We live in a small town in Sicily, I'm a single mother who works full time.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I'm open minded, relaxed (except for people who smoke ahah) and I travelled a lot.
    I'm also an old member of couchsurfing (before it became a mess... ask me for references).

    We're hosting since november 2023, some decided to come back and we're building very strong connections.

    FAMILIES: I cannot accept families, no couples etc (EXCEPT single mom+kid for short periods)

    I'm looking for someone fluent in English (but Spanish and French would be a bonus) who will play ot take care of my kid when I'm at work. (He's independent for the 99% of stuff).
    So i'm looking for a warm and lovely person who wants to feel at home here :D + help me keeping the house clean, like in every family. The cultural exchange and hosting the workawayer as part of the family is very important for us. We're super respectful of your privacy!
    Our first step is always a questionnaire, then a videocall and then I'll put you in contact with some previous workawayer just for references :)

    This host offers a language exchange
    I'd love to speak english at home and help my son (8yo) to learn from a mothertongue. But now he is in love with spanish language, he speaks spanglish! And french is our next goal! He is a wonderful teacher of italian language!

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    Single room in our modern flat at an acceptable walking distance to the center and to the seaside (1 minute walking to bakery/shops, 7 minutes to the seaside). Mazara is very safe.
    Smoking is forbidden and I'm looking for a no-smoker (NO WAY this person can smoke outside, no smooooking person)

    My fridge will be full of many things, pasta, meat, fish and vegetables. You can use the kitchen (and the fridge) as you like. Or we could cook together!

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    I run a blog (ask me for the address) and this environment is very safe and nice!
    Our town is full of restaurants, nice beaches and also a couple of wonderful spots for kite and windsurfing. We have a nice seaside and lots of tourists during the summer. If you want to go for running or walking, Mazara is just perfect. Super safe even at 5am (when I go to run) or 11pm :D
