    Description

    Hi everybody! We are Marco (39 yo), Carolina (40 yo), Giorgia Rose (4 yo), Sara ( 1 yo). We live in Genoa (Liguria, Portofino and Cinque terre region in Nothern Italy) a town on the sea, but also near country and mountain side. Less than 2 hours from Milan by train, about 3 hours from Florence.

    Marco is an engineer, he is often on business trip to India, Algeria, China, Nothern Europe and more. He loves travels, wood carving, fitness and Juventus football club.

    Carolina is a nursery teacher. She formerly worked as educator with children and teenagers.
    From 2002 to 2010 she was a member of a local music folk group which she often went abroad for cultural exchanges with.

    Giorgia Rose loves swimming, drawing, dancing, spending time with friends and inventing stories using her extraordinary imagination.

    Sara is learning how to walk and she always laughs. She Is very friendly and she loves food!!!!! She loves her sister.

    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.
    We are open to meet new people and new cultures. We think that Work Away is a great opportunity of personal growth for each member of our family.

    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.
