Description
Hi! We are an Italian family from Varese, near Milan and Switzerland, in the Lake District. We love immersing ourselves in local life, walking, playing sports, and cooking. We are passionate about nature and animals.
We and our children, Marco (born in 2015) and Susanna (born in 2017), will be in Australia from June to September 2025.
We would like to have a volunteering experience in a natural setting, possibly working with animals. We would like to have the opportunity to meet new people and families with children, giving our children the chance to learn the local language.
We are ready to help with gardening, animal care, cooking, and sports activities. Our children are excited to make new friends and learn new languages.
We are excited to discover new cultures and lifestyles, and we believe that volunteering is a fantastic way to do so. We can’t wait to contribute and learn!
Giulia, Stefano, Marco, Susanna

Personally, I have always been interested in foreign languages and I enjoy learning them. I would love to speak English as much as possible so that I can teach it to my children more easily. I have been working in the tourism and corporate events industry since 2009. Stefano works in the tourism sector.
Stefano works in the IT sector and is passionate about manual work such as gardening and carpentry.
He also enjoys cooking, an activity that relaxes him a lot. We both love traveling. Our children have always been used to traveling since they were little, and we always involve them in all our activities.
