    Description

    I would be happy to host Workwayers in my ancient mountain house located in the Belluno Dolomites that has belonged to my family for generations. I am its last custodian and I work among other things to take care of the meadows, the woods, the vegetable garden and the field that have always been part of daily life here. My project is to restore and clean the place after the disaster that the Vaia storm brought to the woods.
    I love this place because it is full of memories for me and for the peace and serenity that one experiences here. The variety of panoramas that the seasonality of the Dolomites offers is undoubtedly unique.

    Workwayers who want to come here will love this simple place but with an ancient history for the atmosphere and genuine hospitality. I would like to share with them my knowledge of the territory, of the lesser-known and frequented mountain paths, the culture and traditions and the local cuisine. My experience in caring for and educating donkeys. I would like to exchange and improve my knowledge of English, French and German. I am a sunny and open person, curious to know and learn from other people.
    In the large family house also live my elderly parents and we have donkeys and goats and the guard dog.


    Sarei felice di ospitare Workwayer nella mia antica casa di montagna situata nelle dolomiti Bellunesi che appartiene alla mia famiglia da generazioni. Io ne sono l'ultima custode e mi adopero tra le altre cose per curare i prati, il bosco, l'orto e il campo che da sempre fanno parte della vita quotidian di qui. Il mio progetto è di ripristinare e ripulire il luogo dopo il disastrio che la tempesta Vaia ha arrecato al bosco.
    Amo questo posto perchè pieno di ricordi per me e per la pace e serenità che si vive qui. La varietà dei panorami che offre la stagionalità delle Dolomiti è senza dubbio unica.
    I Workwayer che vorranno venire qui adoreranno questo posto semplice ma dalla storia antica per l'atmosfera e l'ospitalità genuina. Mi piacerebbe condividere con loro le mie conoscenze del territorio, dei sentieri di montagna meno conosciuti e frequentati, la cultura e tradizioni e la cucina del luogo. La mia esperienza nella cura e nell'educazione degli asini. Vorrei scambiare e migliorare la mia conoscenza della lingua Inglese, Francese e Tedesca. Sono una persona solare ed aperta, curiosa di conoscere e di imparare da altre persone.
    Nella grande casa di famiglia vivono anche i miei genitori anziani e abbiamo asini e capre e il cane da guardiania

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We actively participate in the life and traditional events of our community. I can share with them my knowledge of the Ladin language, local history and tradition, my passion for the mountains (hiking, via ferratas, etc.) and the traditional food of the Dolomites. From Workawayers I hope to broaden and exchange knowledge of different methods, improve my language skills (English, German, French) and exchange life experiences and different cultures.
