    Description

    Hello people,

    my name is Donatella and I come from the beautiful island called Sicily, in the south of Italy.
    I'm a 30yo girl and I'm a traveler and an eternal student.
    Traveling is my lifestyle. Meeting people, discovering new beautiful places and make connections around the world.
    I like camping outside enjoying the nature, doing trekking and making sport.
    I'm interested in languages and photography. I'm graduated in languages and cultures of Middle East. Actually I'm doing a master degree for teaching Italian to foreigners, professionaly. Im been already working as Italian teacher to foreigners and also photography it use to be a job sometimes.
    I've experienced working with Nord Africans migrants as cultural mediator in welcoming structures.

    I've been traveling in: most of Europe, Morocco, Egypt, India, Nepal, Oman, Turkey, Australia, Canary Islands.
    I've been living: Italy (18 years), France (3 years) Australia (around 1 years), Morocco (many months during 3 years), India (few months), Oman (a couple of months), Tenerife (few months).

    AT THE MOMENT I'm in in MY HOUSE, in the mountains between Castellammare del Golfo and San Vito Lo Capo. I'm the owner of the house and is not always easy to do the maintenance of everythings. I need to prepare my house for the summer season, to renting.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    This place is a small paradise. You will be in contact with the authentic Sicilian agricultural territory. I will show you around, the beautiful beaches and secret corners.
    I'm an Italian teacher, it will be my plaisure to exchange your work with Italian lessons (plus rooms and board, of course). I can teach you also French or English (for Italians workawayers) and a bit of Arabic. I practice sport so, if you need some motivation to training, it will be my plaisure to do it together.
    I read the Tarots sometimes, I’m still studying them, so I would like to experience my skills with you.
    I also would like to improve my Spanish language.

    I need help with gardening and general maintenance of the house, few things have to be fixed. I will love someone with green skills who can give me some "gardening lesson". I will love to plant many threes and flowers and I really need someone with carpenter skills to restore some part of the house. A bit painting as well need to be done.

  • Accommodation

    Accommodation

    You will have your own room inside the house where my dog and I live. The other spaces of the house are shared with me (bathroom, kitchen, living room).
    Important: as I live far away from the nearest city, It will be better to have your own car, otherwise you'll need to be prepared to a real rural life (you can make really nice hikings from here) and reach the city with me, when is possible.
    I'm half vegetarian: I eat fish but not meat. I try to have an healthy lifestyle, in this house we eat a lot of vegetables, legumes and fruit. Banned chemical or unhealthy foodstuffs.
