  Description

  Living in Rome is a wonderful experience for any guest. Living in a family that can help knowing the city is very important. The guest can visit the city and learn Italian, live in a cosy place and share the time with calm and affectionate but not intrusive people. However, the guest cannot host other people and must be serious and reliable.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  We are a hospitable family, who likes to spend the weekend evenings eating with friends. We love walking around the city as if we were tourists (in Rome there is always something new to see). During the week everyone has their job but we have some time available to dedicate to our guest, who will be able to experience life in Italy, in a wonderful city like Rome, all to visit. We have a house in the mountains, an hour away from Rome, and the sea can be reached in half an hour: we love going to the beach on Saturdays and Sundays. Our guest will have many experiences, she will have sports outdoor if she loves to, she will visit a thousand things and she could learn a little Italian.

  Help

  We are looking for a girl of about 20/25 who speaks English. We (mother, father and a 25 year old daughter) speak a little English but we would like to improve the conversation. We have two very good dogs that the host could take out once a day to help us with daily occupations.
  We would like to host a polite and affectionate girl, ready to learn about Italian culture and teach us hers. We could visit the city together, do the shopping and cook together, without a fixed schedule.

  This host offers a language exchange
  We are a family from Rome, we would be interested in hosting an English-speaking female Workawayer. The guest's commitment would only be to speak in English in shared moments, teaching us her culture and learning about our.

  Accommodation

  The room is large, has a double bed 120 cm. The bathroom would be shared with the other girl.
  The house is located in a fairly central area, a 25-minute walk from Coliseum.
  In the evening the guest would eat with us, also to share moments with the family. Everyone usually prepares their own breakfast, due to the different plans for the day, and at lunchtime everyone takes care of their lunch because we don't always eat at home. We have no food type restrictions.
  To prevent us from having excessive expenses, if our guest needs food that is different from our usual, we ask her to provide for her food by buying what she needs. If not, she will adapt to our way of eating.

  What else ...

  The area is very central and close to bus and metro. Our daughter is working as an architect, she is usually out. In our free time we like walking or biking around the city and in the parks nearby. We also have a country house where our guest could join us on vacation.
  Helpers can have a lot of time off, they can also look for work outside with someone else if they want to earn some money.
  We need our guest to be a very trustable person, for they could stay alone at home and because the dogs are old and needing love and attention.
