    Description

    Welcome to our profile!
    We are a family living in the inland area of Genoa, surrounded by green woods and the paths of the Forts that once guarded the city.
    We live in a detached house together with a friendly dog , an independent cat and three cheeky chickens. We are looking for someone to help us work the land, cut wood, lend a hand in the kitchen and teach us something of their language and culture. We prefer to welcome travelers who are resourceful and independent and curious to explore because they can be a good example for our girls.

    More information about us:
    Irene (17) is creative, loves reading, photography and crochet. She has been studying piano for years.
    Amelie (11) is the most spontaneous and outgoing. She loves nature, wolves, is passionate about horses and farm animals, and has a great desire to help and work with people. She would like to learn spanish.
    Claudio (52) loves nature and gardening, street photography and travel.
    Debora (48) loves music: she enjoys playing guitar, ukulele and percussion. She grew up in Italy but has a degree in Romance studies , teaches English German and Italian for foreigners.
