Descripción
We try to be open-hearted and broad-minded, we enjoy having guests and we are happy to meet, live, learn and share with different people! Let's join us and bring your way, culture and attitudes in our environment :)
Renzo is 41, Valeria is 36, Rita is 8, Nina is 6 years old and Franco is now 4.
Renzo works for a company dealing with clean environment / recycling and social inclusion, Valeria is a part-time henna artist and a full-time mum and housewife.
Our children are happy of hosting workawayers, they enjoy playing with them, sharing life experiences, games and they can improve their English or start learning new languages too.
We have few pets: Magenta (a beautiful black cat), Tarta (a very old turtle) and some funny indian runners ducks.
The house it's two storey, we live in the first floor, while on the ground floor Renzo's mum is living, she's 84 years old, but very energetic.
- We like travelling, looking at the world with curiosity, meeting people, smiling, reading, cooperation (in small and big things), cultural exchanges, and last but not least eating and cooking very tasty vegan food as we are vegetarian, almost vegan.
- We are very interested in spirituality in daily life and common activities
- We have the luck to own a 30+ years old T3 VW van that we use for holidays and outings.
- We drink very little alcohol, but we don't mind if you want to have a beer and if we have guests sometimes there will be wine on the table.
- We are concerned about environmental matter
- We like to play Geocaching.
- When we go somewhere (eg. mountain, river, seaside, hindu temple, friends and so on) workawayers are generally welcome to join us.
- We previously had been Couchsurfing, Boy-Scouts and AEGEE members.
- We are not musicians at all but in the house there are a guitar, a djembe and a piano too (in granny's house), we are more than happy if you want to play them!
- We are coffee drinkers (normally 2 in a day) espresso or moka are available always 😝 but tea or herbal tea too! And also barley coffee (do you know it?).
- We try to accomodate our volunteer's food choices (eg for breakfast) and if required we provide pocket lunch for our volunteer's daily trips
- We are sometimes bindivers (fruit and vegetables)
Renzo loves mountains, open green spaces or forests, the sky, stars, clouds running fast..
Valeria is fond of decorating, hennaing, Bollywood dance, sewing, crocheting and all crafty activities! :)
Our children loves games, fun, meeting new people, cartoons, comics, books, outdoor activities, exploring new places
Our faults? We are a little messy and sometimes we lose our temper (but for sure we love each other!)

Ayuda
The house is not small and it is surrounded by garden with fruit trees and vegetable garden (organic), and with 3 kids around is not easy to keep up with all the work!
We'd love to have a helping hand to support us on our daily routine, so help to keep the house tidy, spending some time with Rita, Nina and Franco (playing, teaching new languages skills or other knowledges e.g. music - art - etc., sharing informations and opinions on different countries, life experiences or topics...), do the laundry, sometimes cooking, help in the garden and vegetable garden, food preserving and processing, cooperation in our volunteering projects... basically help in whatever needs to be done!
We are also happy to know more about different life experiences, visions on life, cultural backgrounds and so on.
We are also very happy to listen your suggestions or to let you develop a particular project if you want to propose (e.g. workshops with our children, general or particular environment inprovements, etc.)

Alojamiento
The volunteer will be sleeping in a private room with independent entrance on the first floor, in the room there is a single bed but 1 more bed can fit in it for visitors (even friends/relatives of our workawayer for 1 or 2 nights, after common agreement)
Few times during day time we do need to access or use our volunteer's room, when needed we are comunicating it.
In the house we kindly ask not to wear shoes: clean sleepers (we can provide them), socks or barefeet are welcome 😊
Volunteer will be provided of a bicycle for his own personal use.
The volunteer will have to share the bathroom with us.
Algo más...
Treviso, our city, is a quiet town (85000 inhabitants), many people are surprised how cute it is, we don't live in the city centre, but not so far from it either, it's just about 10 minutes by bus or bike, we can provide a bike to our volunteer for the duration of the stay.
The Summer is quite hot, Spring is ok, late Fall is sometimes really foggy and wet, Winter is not so cold but sometimes wet as well.
We live near "Sile river natural park", where there's a nice walking-cycling route in the nature, and you can even follow the river to the city centre or to the countryside for many kilometers in the opposite direction, on a day trip you can reach the sea following the cycle path!
Venice (Venezia) is just half an hour by train, while Padova and Vicenza are about one hour away.
The same goes for seaside (Caorle or Jesolo are around one hour by bus, less if driving) and mountains, pre-alps are nearby (you can easily reach Feltre by train).
Other cities you can quite easily get in a longer dayly trip are Verona, Ferrara, Bologna, Trieste, Gorizia (and Nova-Gorica in Slovenia), Udine, Cittadella, Castelfranco.
