  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  I speak German as mother tongue , English and French and I am learning still Italian Level B1. We can exchange languages. I like also to do Yoga or other supporting things for the body as gymnastic, dance or swimming, and of course I go at least once a day for 1,5 hours with the dog in the forest. In free time I like to do Soap or creams and also oil ( no olive oil, as it needs another press) , collecting herbs and trying to find out how to use it, if I don't know already. I play also piano and like music, so anyone you like to play together would be nice. You can explore the wild environment here the alps are close and high mountains. You can do long walks or visit the bigger cities close to the place which is Biella and Cossato.

  Help

  In the moment I am looking for someone who cn help me with installing the bathroom or also working in the garden, as the plants are growing so fast, as well as looking for the dogs if the person is experienced with dogs. One of the dog is very scared of humans and need time to accept other humans. But he is really nice in general.

  Accommodation

  There is a one big bedroom for you with everything you need. The bathroom is shared and has one shower. There is another room fully equipped in case there will come more than one person, but I have to pass through the room sometimes as it has the only door backwards of the house to reach the garden. But privacy is promised!
  Depending how much you want to help between 3 and 5 hours a day we can share meals together, there is a kitchen for it in the apartment where you sleep. I am almost vegan, sometimes I like to eat good cheese, you can find a lot in the market here where they treat their animals well and it comes all from the region here. But I cook meat for my dog. I do not cook meat for humans and I prefer someone who don't want to eat a steak each day. But I know a lot of yummy recipe to cook vegan food.

  What else ...

  I like to share my privacy, work and life, with people who are open to share and explore other life situations on a social friendship based communication which may include discussion about life itself, philosophy, maybe politics or just about experiences we had in life. Or new Ideas. People who like to change the world with big ideas are warmly welcome! I like to share and have good time so if someone is not really interested and is looking just for a job or an accommodation it might not be the right place. But of course if you feel that you need room for yourself alone you will have the opportunity to have it here, as I can understand very well and need also myself!
  
  The house is located directly on the street, so there are sometimes cars passing by specially in the morning when they start work or in the evening when they go back. So the place is not isolated in the forest and there are some rumors from time to time. The next village is 10 minutes by foot you can cross the forest to reach it and you find a supermarket, 2 cafés and a butcher, as well as a market on Friday. There are also busses in the near and the trainstation is 15 km from here.
