  • Description

    Description

    I was born in Sicily but I live in Calabria for work. I live in an independent house in the countryside with a breathtaking view. I often meet with friends and neighbors, and I frequently organize dinners at my place because I enjoy company.
    I am an animal lover and I have four dogs and seven cats, one of which is just a month old and is very cute.
    I signed up on Workaway because I want to learn English by interacting with my guests and I offer to teach Italian, which is my native language. My starting level of English is very low.
    Additionally, I would be happy if the workawayers I host could help me with gardening and possibly cooking.
    What I find wonderful about this territory is that by traveling a short distance, one can appreciate both the beauties of the sea and the mountains, immersed in nature.

  • Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    The cultural exchange is predominantly linguistic: I would like to show to workawayers Cetraro and its sorroundings, and I will take them to the beach and to visit my friends, and all of this will happen by speaking either Italian or English. So they can expect to learn Italian and the culture and history of Cetraro.
    Furthermore, we will cook together and I will be happy to teach them Italian and Sicilian cuisine.
    Last but not least, I would be happy to teach workawayers some gardening, how to care about plants and to cut the grass, things that we will do together.
