Description
My name is Angela. I am an ex primary school teacher who moved from my homeland (England) to Italy with my husband Tony (Retired Health and Safety Manager). We have 4 standard poodles (and sometimes puppies) and a mini crossbreed. We also have 3 chickens and now also a cat who found us! We live in the countryside and are quite isolated. There are neighbours within walking distance. Bisenti is a little village that has a couple of bars and supermarkets etc. We bought our house two years ago and have lots of work to do on it. We are always trying to improve the living and garden areas but have found it quite difficult on our own so we would like some help!!! We are kind and friendly and pretty easy going. We would like a hard-working traveller that is also friendly and easy going.

Hébergement
We live in an old schoolhouse. The traveller will have their own bedroom and a shared bathroom (if there are any other travellers staying) There is a good wifi signal throughout the house. There will be food available for all meals. Breakfast will be self served by the traveller and will be cereal or toast. We would occasionally make pancakes or a full English breakfast which the traveller would be welcome to enjoy! One meal would be a sandwich or something on toast (the traveller will make this themselves) and there would be a cooked meal (either at lunch time or evening time) of whatever is the choice that day, occasionally the traveller may need to make their own meal if the hosts have other plans or are just not cooking that day! The traveller can make their own sandwich/snacks/drinks throughout the day.
