  Description

  Hi! I am Linda, and I live with my three kids who are 12 and 8 years old (yes, the last two are twins!) plus Kilda the dog. We live in a tiny village close to the river Tagliamento, not far from Pordenone, in NE Italy. I work at a local Montessori school, but have other projects I'm working on. I love arts and crafts and sowing seeds/planting flowers and trees.I lived abroad for a few years (Australia, UK) and gathered many different experiences. At the time there is no travelling in sight for us, but we do miss the cultural exchange! So for this reason, as well as for some help with personal projects or the kids/house, I am looking for some lovely folks to come and stay with us! *** Unfortunately at the moment WE CAN ONLY OFFER TENT ACCOMODATION, so workawayers who have THEIR OWN VAN or CAMPERVAN are welcome. This is because we moved recently, so no rooms yet! Oh and we are very happy to host families :-)
  Our area has a lot to offer whether you are into culture, nature or sports. There is a bus stop a short walk from our home and the nearest train station is a 15min drive away. Also, 10 mins from our place you can visit Spilimbergo, where the world famous school of Mosaic is located and which offers short courses during the summer. Friuli is a rather unknown tourist area compared to most other Italian regions, but it really has a lot to offer, especially if you enjoy nature. We have bikes you can use and lots of tips about places worth exploring.
  We are omnivores but can cater to all needs. I, Linda, am into Montessori and I try to implement these principles as much/best as I can. I work at a kindergarten (Casa dei Bambini).
  I speak English and some German and a little Spanish. Diego, my eldest loves languages and he'd be really happy to learn a few words in your own and teach you a few in Italian in return! We all love music, Diego is learning the piano, while the twins and I have the very important role of singers, hand clappers and supporters :-D
  Right, I think I'll leave something for when we'll meet but if you do have any questions, just ask! 😊
  A presto!

  Aide

  The type of help is so varied that I'm sure whatever skill you have can probably meet our needs!
  It could be help with tending the garden (watering, planting, weeding of vegetables) or general help around the house like cooking and painting or with the kids (sports, music, art and languages are all very welcome skills). Let's chat and see what we can do together 😊

  Hébergement

  As stated in the description, we moved recently so we have no finished bedrooms yet. We CAN ONLY ACCOMODATE WORKAWAYERS IN A TENT IN OUR GARDEN, or who come WITH THEIR OWN VAN/MOTORHOME for now!
  Meals are Italian style. You can definitely have and learn how to make some staple Italian dishes and I'll try to cater to your needs as much as possible.
  We have a rather large garden where you can relax, as it's a quiet area.

  Autres infos...

  There are coaches that can take you to the closest main cities like Udine and Pordenone, as well as some smaller but cute villages. The train station with direct trains to Venice and Trieste is also 10mins from home. We can give you a lift to places when we can and there's bikes available. There is a public swimming pool in the town of Spilimbergo. I help organize traditional meditation classes that you can join or take long walks or bike rides along the river to the nearby villages. In summer if it has rained enough, you can swim in the river, too. There are lots of "sagre" that is, little folk festivals in almost every town or village during the warmer months. If you go to Pordenone, there are museums, shops, art galleries, theatre, ecc... and the bus takes you directly there in 20/25 mins.
