Description
We are Tiziana , Pietro and Mariano and we live in Apulia in a big old farmhouse.
I am an Italian teacher for foreigners, Pietro is a chemist and Mariano is a pensioner and he practices fishing and hunting. We host an Italian-Vietnamese family and a German family during the summer. We always need help and good company in this huge place.
We have 4 dogs and 5 cats. We love animals and nature, we like to eat organic food and local products. We have a vineyard, lots of olive trees and fruit trees (cherries, apricots, figs, plums etc.).
We like to host friends and share our big place, we like simple people. Sometimes we would like to have lunch or dinner with our guests, we could prepare something for them or we could cook together.
The area where we live is surrounded by a small protected wood of ancient oaks. But we are also very close to the village: 10 minutes on foot or 5 minutes by bike. We have a bike for you!

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can learn from us a bit of history about the farm, what it was and what was done in these places. They could learn to recognize some plants or birds that are in this area. You definitely could learn some Italian (if you are not Italian). We would also like to learn something from our guests and share experiences and knowledge.
We believe a lot in the cultural exchange that Workaway offers to all of us.
