When we met via video call, it was an instant connection. Truth is, with Fede and Manu, it is difficult not to, because they are very "buena onda" people (a concept they discovered on their trip to South America and which fits them perfectly).
They have a lot of experience travelling and also in hospitality, so from the beginning we felt welcomed
… read more as they were very generous and helpful, making us feel at home and part of their family. We have a lot in common in the way we see life, in fact we have improved a lot our Italian in the dozens of conversations we have had on many topics (a lot of politics, but also travel, literature, cinema, sports, etc.).
Their children, our little friends Martino and Adele, are two characters as sweet as they are funny. Spending time with them was always great, they treat us a bit like their uncles, a bit as their friends :), and we always end up laughing along with them... Even now, when we come visit them, they run happily to give us a hug, and tell us everything that happened in the last weeks. They are two amazing kids, and have a beautiful relationship with each other, we really love spending time with them!
During these ten months, we have shared many moments together: weekly dinners, birthdays, Christmas and New Year, and even a trip to the mountains. We were also able to spend time with their families and friends, and learn a lot about Italian culture and food.
Fede and Manu are very laid back and flexible concernig help hours, so we were able to do lots of things on our free time! The exchange is mainly helping with the care of the children, taking and picking them up from school, help Martino with homework, and sometimes some other domestic tasks, like a bit of gardening, but it is really light work. Also being with Frique and taking her for walks, which makes her so happy!
The space where we lived “la tavernetta” is very cozy and comfortable, perfectly equipped, and totally independent, on the floor below their house. Cambiano is a small and quiet hillside town only 20 minutes by train from Turin, a beautiful city in the heart of Piedmont, from which you are only a short train ride away from both the Alps or Milan.
This time together has been a very beautiful and enriching experience, and the friendship continues even though we are no longer downstairs neighbors, but friends living in Turin. Thank you for everything, we'll see you soon!
It is so strange to leave a reference on Workaway for persons who, right now, are definitely a part of our family and friend-network. But yes, actually it is through Workaway that we met them! So thanks to this community that gave us this chance!
When Erica and Franco arrived at our place in April 2024 it was our first experience in Workaway, even
… read more if it was not at all our first experience in hospitality.
We felt curious and excited, and we felt that they were "buena onda" people.
We were right.
But they are not only buena onda, they are so much more!
They are serious and responsible, totally respectful of the tasks we asked them: our children began their big friends in a very short time, and it is because of their kindness, patience and love. This went soon over the babysitting, and began much more similar to a familiar relationship, and we are sure that our children will always be grateful for the time spent with them.
For us their help with children was so precious, we totally trusted them and their presence was a real support to manage the care of the children, as we both work full time.
Also our dog Frique loved their company, because they were very attentive and careful, spending time with her and bringing her for walks every day.
And what can we say about the authentic friendship that we developed with them, made of weekly dinners together, endless debates about Argentinian and Italian politics (but most of all Argentinian, isn't it?), good moments on the mountains, laughs and jokes....
In the end, these 10 months spent together have been a life experience that our family will not forget, and that we will always keep with gratitude in our heart... but we are also sure that this friendship won't finish with your departure!
Thank you Erica and Franco and mucha suerte for your life project!Feedback
