Update 09/05/2025
I'm looking for a native English speaker in Calabria or Piedmont.
Please take a look at my profile. Take note that we often move between Piedmont and Calabria. I can show you to go sightseeing the best places nearby.
My name is Nunzio, I'm a Italian retired, my goal is to improve English language. I already speak English a little bit but I would like to improve it. With me you can do house work, cooking, gardening, painting, building something in wood/metal and the normal maintenance that people do in a house. If you want to come for a couple of weeks or more, it's fine. Send me a message and I will be happy to answer you and welcome you in our home. I'm 67 years old, my wife is 63. We're commuters between Piedmont and Calabria during the year. Along the day we will do at least five hours of work. We will be together to practice English, have fun and have some grammar English lessons. Here you can have breakfast, lunch and dinner. You will be one of as. We demand respect and extended the same courtesy. Smoking or drinking alcohol it will not be allowed in or around our home. When you will arrive your room will be clean and we hope you leave it in the same conditions. We will do house chores together, after meals. If you are in good health and willing to help us, you are welcome to join us. Please bring us many smiles as possible and don't be lazy. At the moment we are looking for people who want to interact with us along the day, If you are vegan/vegetarian or you like to isolate yourselves on the phone or on Internet, please refrain! 🙏
Thank you for taking some of your time to read my email. 🙏
We wish you all the best.
Best regards
Nunzio & Olga
