Description
Hi All,
I live in the countryside near Turin and Avigliana lakes, Val di Susa.
Our family consists of two adults (myself and one of my daughters) and 9 Siberian huskies, because I am a volunteer of a rescue association and I am passionate about sleddog and hiking.
We have a beautiful house with a big garden and mountains view, surrounded by nature.
We are located roughly 4km from the village center where buses are running to Turin center or nearest villages and tourists attractions like Sacra di San Michele or Museum of contemporary art of Rivoli.
Our house is near the woods and you can easily reach many beautiful hiking and bike trails in the middle of nature.
We both work part-time. My daughter can teach you Italian as she is a primary school teacher, and she is a Naturopath and yoga practitioner.
We love reading and we have a huge library where you can find books in different languages and many dictionaries.
Respect for nature is fundamental for our family, we are both vegetarians. -

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We open our home to those who love nature and animals with the possibility to practice Yoga in a silent environment, we can also show you how to cook some typical dishes!
To those who love the mountains Val di Susa offers wonderful woods, crossed by hundreds of km of trails and cycle tracks.
You will be able to have a good time with many water activities like SUP, kajak, swimming in Avigliana lakes.
In addition Turin is one of the most visited cultural cities in Italy, with Egizio Museum and the fine mansions of royalty and aristocrats of the time.
You can easily reach many tourist attractions and I can be your guide! -
Help
We are looking for someone who can help us with the dogs: take them out for a daily hiking, brush them and lots of cuddles.
We need a little help with the house: gardening, painting (only if necessary). -

Thank you, Anna-Marie and Alyssia, for welcoming me into your home - I couldn't have asked for a better two weeks!
It was a pleasure to help walk (and run) with the dogs. Anna-Marie’s knowledge made it a fantastic learning experience about the husky life and how they differ from other dogs. Doing it all in such a … read more
