    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    We are a warm and active family of six living near beautiful Como, and we truly enjoy meeting people from different cultures. Hosting a Workawayer for us is not only about improving English, but also about sharing daily life, experiences, and creating genuine connections.

    Our four children (aged 9 to 15) are very sporty: three practice artistic gymnastics and one plays futsal, so our guest will naturally become part of an energetic and lively family environment. We often host international visitors in our holiday home, and we love exchanging stories, traditions, food, and languages.

    We will include the Workawayer in family activities, meals, local events, and trips around Lake Como whenever possible, helping them feel like part of the family rather than just a guest. We are also happy to share Italian culture, cooking, and everyday family life.

    The father works in the energy sector and is passionate about renewable energy and sustainable living. Our home is powered by renewable sources, so guests interested in sustainability can learn more about eco-friendly technologies and lifestyle choices. We also have a friendly dog and cat, making the house even more welcoming for animal lovers.

    We hope to improve our English, especially for the children, while learning about new cultures, perspectives, and traditions from the people we host.
