On our free time we hike, cook, travel, listen to music, play board and cards games, spend time with friends. We often go on short trips in the weekend and we meet friend on friday and saturday night, or on sundays.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
The city centre ( 15 minutes by bus from our place) is rich in pubs, bar, restaurants, and people use to meet in the streets and in the squares where you can talk while you're having a drink. You can find theatres, different kind of museums, cinemas, gyms, dance schools, and whatever you like...Several open air music festivals take place during summer, even on the many beaches we have. Genoa Is also surrounded by green areas, Woods, mountains where you can hike . On xmas time you can find many markets which sell local products all around. Genoa is also an Erasmus city. Thanks to our jobs and our hobbies, we're connected to people aged between 0 to ...99 so we can offer many opportunities of making friends. We'd be glad both to invite you to join our family life, and to help you to find your own spaces according to your interests and wishes.
