    Description

    We live in a small village where tranquility is the order of the day. You will live with us, mother (45) and daughter (9), in a spacious and clean house. Be prepared for lots of questions from my daughter. We are LGBTQ-friendly and hope you feel comfortable with us wherever you go. We live in Dolce, a 30-minute drive from Verona. There is a train station a 5-minute walk from our house. We enjoy listening to music, walking, and being in nature. I love cooking: we are not vegetarian but we eat lots of vegetables. I am buying a new house and need help fixing it up. It needs painting and some minor maintenance. If you know how to work with wood, that would be wonderful. We would also love to talk to you, especially if you speak English. Bianca would love for you to spend some time with her so she can learn a new language and experience different cultures.

    Abitiamo in un piccolo paesino dove la tranquillità è di casa. Vivrai insieme a noi due , madre (45) e figlia (9), in una casa spaziosa e orinata. Preparati alle molte domande di mia figlia.
    Siamo LGBTQ+ friendly e speriamo sempre tu possa sentirti a tuo agio con noi o ovunque tu andrai.
    Viviamo a Dolce, a 30 minuti in auto da Verona. A 5 minuti a piedi dalla nostra casa c'è una stazione del treno.
    Ci piace ascoltare musica, passeggiare e stare in natura. Io adoro cucinare: non siamo vegetariane ma mangiamo molta verdura.
    Sto acquistando una nuova casa e ho bisogno di aiuto per sistemarla.
    C'è bisogno di dipingerla e di piccoli lavori di manutenzioni. Se tu sapessi lavorare il legno sarebbe meraviglioso. Ci piacerebbe anche parlare con te soprattutto se parli inglese. A Bianca piacerebbe tu passassi un po' di tempo con lei così può imparare una nuova lingua e conoscere diverse culture.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    In our small town, there are several associations that frequently organize activities (yoga, carpentry, sewing). There's a train station just a 5-minute walk from our house, so you can visit many of the northern Italian cities, including Verona and Venice, on your own or with us. Nearby, there's beautiful nature for walks. The Adige River flows near our house, and we sometimes organize raft trips.
    --------------------------
    Nel nostro piccolo paese ci sono diverse associazioni che organizzano spesso attività (Yoga, falegnameria, cucito). C'è una stazione a 5 minuti a piedi dalla nostra casa quindi potrai in autonomia o insieme a noi visitare molte delle città italiane presenti nel nord Italia tra cui Verona e Venezia.
    Vicino a noi c'è una bella natura per fare passeggiate. Vicino a nostra casa scorre il fiume Adige e a volte si organizzano anche uscite in gommone.

    Handy household chores like painting or renovating furniture and shutters. You can teach us a new language, and we're curious to learn about your culture. If you know how to do small DIY projects or woodwork, that would be wonderful. If you have a hobby, you can teach us new skills; for example, if you know how to cook, we'd love to learn new dishes. Sometimes I might need you to walk my daughter downstairs to make sure she catches the bus to school. In exchange, we'll offer you room and board.
    --------------------------
    Lavori manuali in casa come dipingere o ristrutturare mobili e scuri .Puoi insegnarci una nuova lingua e noi siamo curiose di scoprire la tua cultura. Se tu sai fare piccoli lavori fai da te o sai lavorare il legno sarebbe meraviglioso.
    Se ha qualche passione ci puoi insegnare nuove attività: per esempio se sai cucinare ci piacerebbe imparare nuovi piatti.
    A volte potrei aver bisogno che accompagni mia figlia sotto casa per assicurarti che prenda il bus per andare a scuola.
    In cambio di tutto questo ti offriamo vitto e alloggio.
