Description
My grandaughter Clara, my daughter Sarita and I (Valeria) are living together in the beautiful land in Istria close to Rovinj (6km) in a Natural Reserve Zone called Palu, very close to Cisterna sea. We are from Italy but decided to move to the beautiful Istria for good. We are happy to welcome happy volunteers who wish to help us and enjoy the beautiful nature of Istria.
We can welcome 2 people at the time. The most important thing is that you have a good heart to give and receive. It´s important that you speak some Italian to take care of my granddaughter, to play with her, make her do her homework, creative games and follow the rules. English is also okay.
Please if possible, write me in Italian.Types of help and learning opportunities

You will be staying in a new renovated house next to our house which has 3 beds and kitchen. The shower and the eco toilet are outside (you can shower in my house when it's cold).
If the house is busy, you can camp here, this is a perfect place for that too (I can provide you a tent too).
We provide everything for sleeping here and cooking.
I will buy food for you (specially delicious veetables from Istria) and you can cook delicious vegetarian meals.What else ...
Our place is not only super close to Rovinj-6km, but also to the sea (10 min walking) and to Palu natural reserve (20 min).
Being here is a wonderful opportunity to be close to beautiful nature and the Rovinj town (beautiful)!
