Description
Hi my name is Christina! im a 36 year old Canadian who purchased a home in the ancient city of Matera in Basilicata, Italy. I work as an animator but ill be off contract for some time and i'll be spending some time in Matera this summer getting the house all fixed up . I'm friendly, good humoured and easy going.
A little bit about Matera. With a history of continuous occupation dating back to the Palaeolithic (10th millennium BC), it is renowned for its rock-cut urban core, whose twin cliffside zones are known collectively as the Sassi. In 2019, Matera was declared a European Capital of Culture. Its become a pretty hot tourist destination but nowhere near as crowded as places like Rome, Florence or Venice. You'll fall in love with it.

He was easy-going, fun to work with and dedicated to getting the job done. When we weren't working we were exploring the city for music and engaging in thoughtful conversations.
If he's not hanging out after work he's exploring off the beaten track, so don't bother giving him directions to his destination🤣
Also great… read more
She showed so much enthusiasm to learn and engage with the culture in Matera and were looking forward to having her back as soon as possible.
