Description
We are in a small mountain village in the heart of the Maritime Alps Park, 730 meters above sea level. We are a young family of farmers with two children, we are artisans and creative. We love working with wood, sculpting, painting, we always have a thousand ideas and few hands. We love nature very much and we try to continuously improve ourselves in our work to learn and share new experiences. We like music and we would like to learn to play an instrument completely, little by little. Our mother tongue is Italian but we would really like to learn to communicate and understand English well. We know French well and a little Spanish. We are sporty, we like skiing, trekking, climbing and cycling. The house is rustic and large with a porch and garden. We are surrounded by mountains to immerse yourself in nature, there is a river a stone's throw away to swim in, mountain trails to follow, cycle paths and a very large climbing cliff behind the house. We want to learn about other cultures and make friends.
Ci troviamo in un paesino di montagna nel cuore del Parco delle Alpi Marittime, a 730mt sul livello del mare. Siamo una giovane famiglia di contadini con due figli, siamo artigiani e creativi. Amiamo lavorare il legno, scolpire, dipingere, abbiamo sempre mille idee e poche mani. Amiamo moltissimo la natura e cerchiamo di migliorarci continuamente nel nostro lavoro per imparare e condividere nuove esperienze. Ci piace la musica e vorremmo imparare a suonare uno strumento in modo completo, un po' per volta. La nostra lingua madre è l'italiano ma ci piacerebbe molto imparare a comunicare e a capire bene l' inglese . Conosciamo bene il francese e un po' di spagnolo.
Siamo sportivi, ci piace fare sci, trekking, arrampicare e andare in bici.
La casa è rustica e ampia con portico e giardino. Siamo circondati da montagne per immergersi nella natura, c'è un fiume a due passi in cui nuotare, sentieri di montagna da percorrere, piste ciclabili e una falesia di arrampicata molto grande dietro casa. Vogliamo conoscere altre culture e fare amicizie.Types of help and learning opportunities

We are farmers and we have small plots of land in the mountains but in the cold periods we let the land rest and we dedicate ourselves to personal growth and handicrafts. We work with wood and we love to sculpt in a creative way. We grow our vegetables organically which we consume and process to make our favorite dishes. The most common jobs are taking care of the garden, helping in the kitchen or at home, helping children with homework, preparing food together to share and taste new dishes, preparing and preserving bread and jams but above all we would like to learn new languages. We are also open to those who can teach us some traditional dances or start playing musical instruments such as the guitar or piano. We would also like to learn the basics of making ceramics.
Siamo contadini e abbiamo piccoli appezzamenti di terreno montani ma nei periodi freddi lasciamo riposare la terra e ci dedichiamo alla crescita personale e a lavori artigianali. Lavoriamo il legno e amiamo scolpire in modo creativo. Coltiviamo con metodo biologico i nostri ortaggi che consumiamo e elaboriamo per fare i nostri piatti preferiti. I lavori più comuni sono curare l'orto, aiutare in cucina o in casa, aiutare i bambini con i compiti ,preparare insieme i cibi per condividere e assaggiare nuove pietanze, preparare e conserve il pane e marmellate ma soprattutto ci piacerebbe imparare nuove lingue.
Siamo aperti anche a chi può insegnarci qualche ballo tipico o iniziare a suonare strumenti musicali come chitarra o pianoforte. Ci piacerebbe apprendere anche le nozioni base per fare ceramica.Languages
