  Description

  Hello everybody!
  
  We are searching for a period of one/two weeks in the second half of march, beginning of april.
  
  The help would consist in doing do-it-yourself works of different types (painting walls, painting gates, tyding up, painting windows frames and repairing). We could consider to host couples although we would prefer a single workawayer.
  
  We are searching for people with a previous experience in these tasks and precise and careful in the work. We don't expect doing a lot of things, but doing them well.
  
  We are a family of five: Fabrizio (my husband), Giovanna (me), Laura (our daughter of 17 years old), Kera (the black cat) and Kio (the white and grey cat). We are all sociable and smiling people.
  
  We hosted several workawayers in the past and we had great experience with them!

  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. We also love personal growth, fitness and quality of life.

  Help

  We will have to do some works in two flats. The works consists in painting frames and window frames, painting walls and rails. We work at a peaceful pace and we expect our workawayer to do things more in a precise way rather than too fast.
  
  Some do it yourself skills and previous experience with wood and painting would be highly appreciated.
  
  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.

  We can offer you two options:
  
  1) A SHARED OPTION
  In this case we can offer a bedroom in our flat with the use of a complete bathroom. The kitchen will be shared or, alternatively we can put a microwave in the room and give our workawayer independence.
  The bedroom has a single bed but a second bed can be added in case we host couples.
