Description
I am Italian, and my wife is Brazilian. I have been living in Ilhéus, in the state of Bahia, Brazil, for about 15 years, and I have worked in Brazil for over 20 years.
My professional background is in agriculture and finance.
We are looking for a native English or Italian speaker who would like to stay with us for one month or longer. The main purpose is to help our daughter, Sofia, who is 11 years old, improve her English or Italian through daily interaction, conversation, and enjoyable learning activities.
We offer a friendly family environment, cultural exchange, and the opportunity to experience life in beautiful coastal Bahia.

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
Ilhéus is located in one of the world's most extraordinary natural environments, the Atlantic Forest, one of the richest and most biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The city is surrounded by lush tropical forests, beautiful beaches, coconut groves, rivers, and abundant wildlife.
The local people are warm, friendly, and welcoming, offering a genuine experience of Brazilian culture and everyday life. At the same time, Ilhéus has a rich history, vibrant traditions, excellent cuisine, and many opportunities for cultural exchange.
We are also just a short drive from Itacaré, one of Brazil's most famous beach destinations, known for its stunning coastline, surfing, waterfalls, hiking trails, and lively atmosphere. The region offers countless opportunities to explore nature, enjoy outdoor activities, and discover the unique beauty of Bahia.
