    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Turin is a nice spot to spend some time and the house is nice and in a quiet and natural environment, with very few people and motor vehicles. I can personally share my know how in Italian food (I like and I am quite good in cooking), and I always liked exchanging ideas and information with foreign people. Finally I have a piano and some guitars available for you, if u so wish!

  • Help

    Help

    We always need some help for house cleaning and gardening as well, light painting, etc. I often have to do some DIY wood working, masonry and other, in a few word lots of things to do! Moreover, whereas possible, I would like my daughter(s) have the occasion to improve her accent with a English mother tongue workawayers, since language can be learnt all life along, but unfortunately not pronunciation...!
    We usually prefer to agree on a task and accomplish it, without fix help timing, depending on needs and situations...I We really appreciate pro-active approach, since we are not so skilled in organizing the tasks...
    We host workawayers older than 23 YO, sorry about that, not nice..., but we have had some experience of extra daughters that we are not really interested in anymore.

  • Languages

    Languages spoken

    This host offers a language exchange
    My elder daughter Agata had already the benefit of talking with several English mother tongue workawayers since many years and presently she is almost a pro while the little one Caterina and Roberta are less skilled and would be happy to learn and teach basic italian in exchange...

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    the lower TV room with bathroom can be used. Proper Italian food included... Even if I absolutely agree on vegetarian and vegan choices i never succeeded in give up with meat. I have no problem in hosting vegetarians and we will do our best to comply with their needs, but I need some elasticity from their side too. I usually do not host vegan guests, we are really sorry about that and we consider it a right and more than respectable choice, but having to nourish 2 daughters it can be tricky.

  • What else ...

    What else ...

    Public transportation is not very close (about 15 min by foot) but walk lovers can here find a very nice spot (the house is in a local natural park) , people from all around come here in weekends to walk or mountain-biking... I can also provide a bicycle, in order to go downtown autonomously... and lift can be found easily by residents moving hereby by car.
