Types of help and learning opportunities
Language practice

Animal Care
Babysitting and creative play
Help around the house
Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We like sharing our culture with the travellers and to learn something about their country and way of life.
We have been hosting for several years and every time is a new opportunity to discover new persons and cultures different than ours.
The workawayers can visit some wonderful places in the north east area of Italy such as Venice, Padua and Vicenza, Verona and the Garda lake and improve/learn our language.
We like cooking italian food and to taste new recipies the workawayers want to share with us as well.
Our kids grew up with au pairs and workawayers since they were 4 and now they have a good comprehension and knowledge of english.
