  Description

  Hello everybody!
  
  At the moment we are searching for this timeframe:
  For the period TO THE END OF APRIL for a period ranging from two weeks at the shortest, to one or two months. The help would consist in doing do-it-yourself works of different types (restoring, painting walls and frames, repairing), and moving some furnitures (not very heavy ones). A little part of the help could consist in picking my daughter up from school and taking her to activities using the public transport. WE ARE OPEN TO HOST COUPLES.
  
  We are a family of five: Fabrizio (my husband), Giovanna (me), Laura (our daughter of 12 years old), Titty (the black cat) and Kio (the white and grey cat). We are all sociable and smiling people.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We love to host open minded people, who will regard to this experience as a way to learn from sharing a different culture, rather than having a cheap room. We are open to talk about different features of our cultures and to a deep a real human exchange.
  
  We are sociable, open, interested in knowing people from all over the world and learning from our workawayers. We could tell you more about Italian culture, habits, interests and you could dip into the Italian way of life. We can speak both english and spanish so communication won't be a problem.
  
  We are outspoken and frank people and we would love to host people with the same attitude: everything is simpler when things are said!
  
  We are also flexible and goodhearted people and we would love to find the same attitude in our guests.
  
  We are interested in sharing-economy, bartering, ecological issues, local economy and we think that addressing to this website is a little way to change the world.

  Help

  We will have to do some work at one flat and therefore the help would consist to prepare the house , that is to remove things from bookshelf and wardrobe and to disassemble some furniture or move some pieces of furniture to the lower floor. We work at a slow and peaceful pace and we expect our workawayer to do things more in a precise way rather than at a speedy pace.
  
  Part of the help would include cleaning, putting things into place. Some do it yourself skills would be highly appreciated.
  
  We are sociable and open people who love travelling, meeting people from different countries and discover their cultures. If you like minded, you are welcome!!
  
  We already had experience with workawayers and all of them were very nice. We had the chance to meet nice, open minded and friendly people and with some of them we are still in touch. They enriched our life with their experience and cheerfulness and we still bring great memories about that.
  
  We expect a responsible, open, mature and dynamic person, willing to be part of the family but independent at the same time and enough flexible to perform different tasks according to our needs.

  Accommodation

  We can offer you a bedroom at the ground floor. The room was originally a deposit and has been transformed into a bedroom. The room has a private bathroom but without a shower. So our workaway will use the shower in our flat.
  
  We could also consider to offer you a room in the flat but you should probably be adaptable because is a bed in the living room and therefore you should not have completely your own space, although we will try to do the most to respect your privacy.
  
  Meals with us are included in the hospitality.
  
  The flat is provided with Internet connection and we could also provide you with a bycicle during your stay.
  
  We are open and sociable people and we have always welcomed our workawayer as part of the family.
  
  We wait to hear form you soon!
