All I can say is, wow. I stayed for 3 weeks with Francesca and her mom and it was such an amazing experience. Francesca is so warm and welcoming and her large family is full of beautiful, kind people. I loved watching Rosanna and the Zias hanging out together in the kitchen! It seemed like everywhere Francesca took me to we ran into a cousin, an

My stay felt like a perfect cultural exchange. I had so much fun helping to teach English to Francesca's students. I taught English words to one student in particular who would respond by giving me the Italian equivalent so that I could learn too. I introduced him to some classic American children's books and it was so cool to watch his interest in English grow. Francesca also taught me some words and inspired me to continue learning Italian even now that I am back in the US.
Rosanna, Francesca's mom, is a fantastic cook and I felt so spoiled getting to eat the delicious meals that she made. I got to try so many new things like lumache and cavallo! We made pizza and also orecchiette while I was there. I took videos of the technique Francesca showed me and now I can make my own orecchiette at home! Just wow. I felt so included in their daily life which meant the world to me. I'm so glad I got to share my own culture a little bit and introduce American chocolate chip cookies to everybody!
Finally, Francesca drove me all over Salento during my stay and showed me how beautiful this part of the world is. I'm so, so grateful that Francesca was keen to play tour guide because this place is so special. It made me fall even more in love with Italy. I can't say enough how much I loved this experience with Francesca and her family. Francesca, you are welcome any time in New York. Grazie mille and I hope to be back very soon!Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Margaret is a very nice and kind person. She stayed with my family for 2 and a half months. It was always ready to help me during my English lessons with students of all ages. She is very creative and the kids had a lot of fun with her. We spent a lot of time enjoying beautiful walks in the nature too. She is a teacher of life as well as of

A wonderful experience! Thank you, Francesca, Roseanna, the aunts' Gina and Danila, the Bleve family and everyone I met along the way. I went for a month initially, with the potential option of staying longer, which I did. Every moment was worth it. Thanks to Francesca and her Fiat Panda, I saw quite a bit of Salento, which is outstandingly

I had a wonderful time staying with Francesca and Rosanna. They were so welcoming and kind and I instantly felt like a part of the family. Francesca showed me so many beautiful places in Puglia that I would never have found by myself. Francesca really helped me to improve speaking Italian and I was glad to be able to help her and her students with

Rosanna was so caring and constantly feeding me. I felt very lucky to be able to experience true Italian culture and cuisine and even learnt how to make pasta.
I will miss their family and adorably crazy dog. I hope to return again and make many more memories.Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.

Hannah has been my first guest. I couldn't leave my feedback earlier because it was too sad.
I spent a beautiful month with Hannah. We shared a lot of experiences and she supported me a lot in some difficult moments. I live only with my mum, but a lot of friends and relatives visit us every day, so sometimes it can be annoying, but she never

She is very empathetic and sensitive. She was very good at training my dog, Margot, and at taking care of her since she had an operation and I didn't have much time to stay with her.. Maybe I stressed her a bit with English grammar by asking her many "ridicolous" things, like verb patterns, prepositions and so on, but she was always patient and kind and she made everything easier. She taught me even to put on my make-up. She's the perfect sister.
I missed all our evenings spent on cooking by listening to some good music, and our conversations about all aspects of life. She's very open-minded and she'salways ready to chill with people
My mum was so sad when she left. Even if she doesn't speak English, she could feel her positive and kind soul since the first moment. She enjoyed her dishes and she liked to have such a nice guest. She still laughs for their fun language misunderstandings.
I wish I had had more time to stay together.
We hope to see you soon
Love
Francesca and Rosanna

Francesca! What a wonderful month I spent in your sweet little town with you and Rosanna. :)
If you are looking to experience the warmth and culture of Southern Italy, look no further than here. Francesca and the family that surrounds her are friendly and delighted to give you their hospitality. From the moment I was picked up by her in her

I spent my days helping Francesca and her students improve their English, trained the loveliest, craziest Jack Russel in the world (Margot) helped with the cooking and explored all of the beautiful sights of nature around the area. Beaches, cliffsides, woodland, historic towns and churchs, the nearby city of Leche; there is a lot to see and Francesca was kind enough to show it all to me. I met lots of new, interesting people, made some amazing memories, and I cannot thank Francesca enough for welcoming me into her life with such love and light.
I cannot recommend this host enough! Grazie, Rosanna! Thank-you, Francesca!
You are welcome in my home any time. You are a beautiful soul, never forget it and take care of yourself. <3Solo puedes ponerte en contacto con workawayers con membresías activas.
