    Description

    Hello everyone, we are a family who enjoys contact with nature, working outdoors, good food and good company. We have a large house, many olive trees and we dedicate ourselves to the vegetable garden. We would like to host a young man who can give us a hand in the olive harvest. The family members are: Osvaldo, who has worked all his life as a freelancer, now retired, who enjoys life in the countryside and surrounded by nature. He is a jack of all trades, in the countryside he never stops and is an expert in cooking on the grill. He is friendly, helpful and kind. Rosaria, an excellent cook, will be happy to cook genuine zero-mile dishes and share dishes from different cultures. I am the daughter and I help them when I can, busy with my working life. My sister is also very busy between family and work. We will be happy to meet people from all over the world and to show them the place where we live, in the welcoming Irpinia surrounded by greenery. We will take you around during your free days to the villages of Irpinia. The work will consist of picking olives five days a week, 5 hours a day, Monday to Friday, from late October to mid-November. We need strong, healthy young people. We are also interested in learning a language and sharing ours, in a cultural exchange.

    Ciao a tutti siamo una famiglia a cui piace il contatto con la natura, il lavoro all'aria aperta , il buon cibo e la buona compagnia.
    Abbiamo una grande casa, molti ulivi e ci dedichiamo all'orto. Ci piacerebbe ospitare un giovane che ci dia una mano nella raccolta delle olive.
    I membri della famiglia sono:
    Osvaldo, ha lavorato una vita intera come libero professionista, adesso in pensione, che si gode la vita in campagna e circondato dalla natura.
    È un tutto fare, in campagna non sta mai fermo ed è esperto nel cucinare alla brace .
    È simpatico, disponibile e gentile.
    Rosaria, cuoca eccellente, sarà felice di cucinare piatti genuini a kilometro 0 e condividere piatti di culture diverse
    Io sono la figlia e li aiuto quando posso, presa dalla mia vita lavorativa
    Mia sorella anch essa impegnatissima tra famiglia e lavoro.
    saremo ben lieti di conoscere gente proveniente da tutto il mondo e far conoscere il posto in cui viviamo, nella accogliente irpinia circondati dal verde.
    Vi porteremo in giro durante i giorni liberi per i paesi dell irpinia.
    Il lavoro consisterà nella raccolta delle olive per cinque giorni a settimana 5 ore al giorno dal lunedì al venerdì nel periodo fine ottobre- metà novembre.
    Ci occorrono giovani forti e in salute.
    Siamo interessati anche a imparare un lingua e noi a condividere la nostra, a uno scambio culturale .
