Description
HI! I'm Marcello, I'm a nature guide and host. I live alone and I have a house large enough to host people from all over the world who want to get to know my area, with whom I can speak in English and other languages, with whom I can do work at home, I am passionate about travel, cooking, I love learning about the dishes, beauties and music of other countries. I am already a host for work but in other apartments, I would like to be able to make your home also become an accomodation facility from May to October and in the other months to be able to host young people from all over the world who want to share moments of daily life: from excursions to preparation of dinners with friends, of keeping the house in order. I have started collecting succulents, and having two very large terraces I would like to create a hanging garden.
Ciao! Sono Marcello, sono una guida naturalistica ed host.
Abito da solo ed ho una casa abbastanza grande per ospitare persone da tutto il mondo che vogliano conoscere il mio territorio, con cui poter parlare in inglese ed altre lingue, con cui poter fare dei lavori a casa, sono appassionato di viaggi, di cucina, amo conoscere i piatti, le bellezze e la musica di altri paesi. Faccio già l'host per lavoro ma in altri appartamenti, vorrei poter farvi diventare anche casa mia una struttura ricettiva da Maggio ad Ottobre e negli altri mesi poter ospitare giovani da tutti il mondo che vogliano condividere momenti di vita quotidiana: dalle escursioni, alla preparazione di cene con amici, a tenere in ordine la casa. Ho cominciato a collezionare piante grasse, ed avendo due terrazze molto grandi vorrei creare un giardino pensile.Types of help and learning opportunities
