Description
Hi all! We are a family of 3 from Verona, a wonderful historic city near Garda lake. We live in an apartment near the city centre. Our aim with workaway is to connect ourselves with different people all over the world sharing experiences and steps of life. There is always something interesting we can learn from each situation and individual.
As a worker we are a business consultant, a journalist and a designer; often one of us is travelling for a long time, so we can host you in a large private and comfortable bedroom.
In our free time, we are art lovers with experience in the field of theatre, music and dance. We love to read a lot of kinds of books and we can share a big library in our living room.
We love to cook, teach our Italian cuisine and learn other ones.
During our free time, we also love to walk on mountains, talk and know people and their stories. With being a host we are looking for any kind of artistic inspiration. If you're a musician, we can share a piano and some "house concerts". If you're good with websites, our mum would like to have one where she could promote her ideas and opportunities. If you're good with general maintenance, we could improve the comfort of our home. If you are a teacher we can learn from you.
Verona is an amazing historical city with a lot of nature near it: hills, mountains and the Garda lake, the biggest in Italy where you can swim in the summer. Verona is in the north of Italy and it's famous for the Arena and Romeo and Juliet. There are beautiful Roman and Medioeval age constructions, museums, theatres and churches. You can go to Mantua, Venice and Dolomiti mountains in an hour by train and see or explore a lot! We would be happy to show you the cities and the lake from time to time.
