Creative projects and craft making with our family in Caldonazzo, Italy

  Description

  Hi! :)
  
  I’m Camilla and together with my partner and our cats we live just a few steps from the Lake of Caldonazzo. We're a young couple who love living close to nature, especially the nature of our local area.
  
  We enjoy good food and cooking, board games, art, and traveling—often with our fully handmade van. In our free time we like cycling, going for walks, and hiking in the mountains.
  
  Our cats are real members of the family, so we are looking for people who are patient and respectful with them as well.
  
  We're currently renovating our home so we're looking for creative people who would like to help us with some projects for a couple of hours a day:
  
  * painting murals
  * creating some artistic pieces to display in our house
  * improving and adding ideas for our van
  * building some small structures for the garden (planters, raised beds for vegetables, and simple hydroponic systems for strawberries and flowers)
  
  We live in a quiet area surrounded by nature. We have some bikes available to explore the surroundings and a small boat that we like to use to go out on the lake for aperitifs and relaxing moments.
  
  In exchange we offer food and accommodation, a welcoming environment, and the chance to share time together, ideas, creative projects, and relaxing moments by the lake.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are native Italian speakers and we are happy to offer language exchange, cooking lessons, and the chance to join our social and outdoor activities. During the summer our region is full of local festivals, food events, and cultural activities.
  
  We would love to host people with artistic or practical skills who can help us develop our projects and who would also enjoy sharing part of their culture and experiences with us.

  Help

  We are looking for creative and curious people who would like to help us with some projects for a couple of hours a day:
  
  -painting murals
  
  -creating some artistic pieces to display in our house
  
  -improving and adding ideas for our van
  
  -building some small structures for the garden (planters, raised beds for vegetables, and simple hydroponic systems for strawberries and flowers)
  
  The work will sometimes be done together with us and, when we are at work, independently. We don’t have a strict schedule, so we can agree together on how to organise the different projects depending on the length of your stay.
  
  Weekends are generally free, as we usually like to relax after a week of work.

  Accommodation

  We offer a private room with a one-and-a-half size bed. The bathrooms will be shared with us. Since our cats are used to moving freely around the house, it may happen that they wander into the room where you will be staying.
  
  The kitchen, living room, and small garden are available for you to use. Basic groceries will be available for our guest, and any specific needs can be discussed.
  
  In general, we enjoy cooking and eating together, but there's no problem if you prefer to eat alone.
