    Description

    Our family is a dynamic and creative family. We're in 5 people, with 3 small kids. Nicolo' is 11 years old, Anita is 8 years old and Costanza is 6 year. I'm 41 years old and my wife, Marina, is 42 years old. We're open minded family living in Lecco, lake of Como. We live in a comfortable flat of about 180 m2 with a single room that we usually use for guests and that would become the room of the "workawayer". City centre is reachable by walk as well as railway station (5 minutes). Milan is at 40 minutes by train as well as Bergamo and Como. If you like outdoor sports like mountain trekking, bike, running, windsurf or kite surf, Lecco is the right place to be.
    I work as export manager for French chocolate company and my wife work part time as chemist. I'm often abroad during the week so we look for someone who can help Marina with the children and who can introduce them to english language.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I believe that our area is very nice during the summer as well as in winter: you can swim in the lake, visit some nice natural corners or go to Milan if you fancy big city: musueum, night life, etc...
    And last but not least, you appreciate food here it is possible to enjoy our delicious courses.
