  Description

  Hello! My name is Giovanni and I am a 68 year old man living in scorrano, lecce. lecce is located in bari, which is the capital of the region of apulia/apuglia Italy. My days consist visiting my two wonderful grandchildren (ettore and eva luna) and working in my large garden.
  
  I grew up in Salento, so i know this region like the back of my hand and I am more than willing to open up my house and home to you if you maintain a genuine interest in salentinan lifestyle, culture and/or the Italian language.

  Travellers can "Live like locals" and experience day to day life alongside us in this stunning region, bordering the adriatic and ionian sea. Learn about traditional salentinan dishes (like rusticos, pastisciutta and frisella with arugula), italian language, and get to know not only local art, but world art, as we have travelled many places and love to share that too!

  Aide

  The kind of assistance I am looking for is help in the garden, occasionally babysitting for my 14 month old grandson (you will never be left alone for more than an hour,) help in the house (such as with dishes and a daily vacumn of the main living space) and just general house maintenance. I am almost always around to help guide you and work alongside you. The main reason I would like to participate in workaway is to better my English or French skills. I know a bit of English and French, so any workawayers that can speak those are preferred!
