  Description

  Hello, I'm a 31yo living in the appennino area in Italy. Beautiful place in the hearth of Italy, close to everything but next to nothing. I believe in an alternative way of living life, slowing life down and learn to appreciate the beautiful things that got lost in this modern world.
  Right now it's just me, I had a few people I shared the house with but life always gets in the way, and now I'm looking for someone that can help me a little bit with things and just to chill together with.
  
  I would love to meet new people since I cant really travel that much, so this seemed like a good solution. It would be great to pick back up my english and french skills which got pretty rusty, and meeting some musician to jam with would be absolutely amazing!

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  Here you can learn how to keep your own vegetable garden, fruit trees and how to use what nature gives us in the most useful way. I can teach you how to make jams, syrups and drinks out of the fruit that grows here, possibly foraging mushrooms and wild herbs depending on the period.
  You will definitely learn how to cook if you don't know how and use the different ingredients you have in creative ways (I can make a cake out of pretty much anything).
  This area is rich of traditional and high quality products so it's definitely the right place if you are a foodie.
  I am open to learn pretty much anything from people that come here, I would maybe prefer to focus on gardening and constructions since they are the most useful things for me, but wouldn't mind improving my language skills or even something completely new.
  If you are a musician you will also find yourself at home, as I love playing bass and always down for a jam session. If you don't have an instrument with you I got few guitars and a keyboard.
  
  So in short: food, handywork and music! If you are into one of these things you're gonna like it here.

  Accommodation

  I can offer you a small room on the first floor of the house, it's a big rural house divided in multiple smaller places. The room has a private bathroom and a very nice view!
  I can and will cook, just probably not twice a day! So for the other meal it's either a sandwich or I will need some help :)

  What else ...

  The area is in the middle between Firenze and Bologna, very well connected as there is a train that goes to both direction 2kms from the house.
  There are pets (one big dog and two cats) so keep that in mind (the cats are ipoallergic for those with allergies like me, so don't worry).
