Description
I am German and live in Italy for over 25 years together with my Italian Husband. We live near an old village in the countryside 70 km from Rome with three cats inside . I am a sculptor and a part-time art teacher at an American University in Rome. My husband teaches visual improvement in Italy and in Spain. We live in a beautiful countryside, it is called the Sabina, where a lot of other foreigners are living. I work mainly at home or in Romeone day a week, and my husband often works on weekends elsewhere. We do also Yoga and I go on horseback. We are not strictly vegetarian but try to eat healthy and little meat. We would like some help in the garden and other little projects around and inside the house, like painting a shed or some other light maintance of the house

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
We have lived in the area for a long time, and we can tell a lot about the Italian way of life. If someone is interested in art, you can also learn from me or work a bit on your own in your free time. If there are possibilities, you will also get to know our friends in the area.
Help
We would like some help in the springtime for the garden and sometimes some small maintenance, like painting, etc.

Accommodation
We have a very nice room for the person in our house, with access to a bathroom for the guests. Kitchen and living room are separated so there is enough space for everybody if you don't want to stay in your room. In the whole house, we have internet. If you came in two you have this room together.
What else ...
Who needs a driving license to get around more easily? We have two cars, so you could use one for little trips. Even better if our guests have their own car, but it is also o.k without. We prefer two people if you can stay together in one room. We are both rather busy, so we don't have much time to bring you around; it is more fun to be in two. Of course, we can give you any possible advise what to see. The person who comes would like to stay in the countryside. It can happen, but only on some nights when the person stays on their own in the house. It should not be a problem; we live in a very safe area.
