Description
Update 20/03/23
I'm looking for English speakers.
We need help in April
Please take a look my profile.
My name is Nunzio, I am a retired Italian man, with a great desire to learn English. I already speak a little English, but I would like to improve it. With me you can make, housework, cooking, gardening, painting, build something and the normal maintenance people do in a house. If you want to come for a couple of weeks or more, it's ok. Send me a message and I will be happy to reply and welcome you in my house. I'm 65, my wife 60. We use to commute between Piedmont and Calabria during the year. Long the day we will do at least five hours of work. We will be together to practice English and have some English classes. You can have breakfast, lunch and dinner with us. You will be one of us. We ask respect and extend the same courtesy. Smoking or drinking alcohol is not allowed in or around our home. We ask you to keep clean your room and household chores in the chicken. If you are in good health and are willing to help us, you are welcome to joing us. We are looking for people who want to interact with us. If you are one of those people who isolates themselves on the phone or on the internet, please refrain! 🙏
Thank you for giving me some of your time to read my email. 🙏
Best regards
Nunzio & Olga

My stay with Nunzio and Olga was my second workaway experience in Italy. I was lucky to spend one month with them in Piedmont. It's not easy to find right words to describe this time, because you rarely meet people that are so welcoming, honest, sincere, and caring. They do their best to make you feel as a member of their family, are open to talk… read more

I had a great experience with Nunzio. Although I had only a few days to meet and work with him. He was a hard working, polite funny man. We worked from 8 to 1 doing al kind of chores in and around the house. After lunch we would go and visit friends or explore the south a little bit. I hope we see each other again some day :)
