    Description

    Hi evreybody, I'm Matteo and I am 23, I live with my lovely and nice family and we live in a little cool city in the north-est of Italy.
    Depending on the month that you are applying, check and read carefully the right description because it really changes everithing: in June I need a specific help concerning english teaching, instead in July and August I'm more flexible and open to host anybody, therefore the hosting details are changing consequently!
    Suitable for every kind of diet requirement:)

    APPLICATIONS from JUNE 6th to JUNE 20th
    I'm searching for a native english speaker or an english teacher or even somebody who has got a degree in languages and traductions who consider itself able to teach english. What I need is a good partner to speaking with and having dialogues concerning a wide range of topics but also some grammar and vocabulary studies are essential. I'm already fluent in english and I'm studying well enough and seeing improvements everyday. However, the exam which I'm going to sit soon is pretty tough; the C1 Cambridge exam. That's why I'd like to have somebody really good in english to spend time with right before my exam!
    The help will be from 8.30 am to 1.00 pm with a break at 10.30 from Monday to Friday. The help will consist in english teaching for two hours and cooking from 12.00 to 1.00; the other hour could be used to teach anything that you are really good to do and you want to share (ex. yoga, gardening, fitness, cooking, art, self-production, body-healing practices or whatever you like). If you don't have any ideas for this hour you can Just prepare an healthy and rich breakfast or do some house cleaning.
    In the rest of the day and during the weekends you'll be free to do whatever you like with the possibility to choose between many enjoyable and nice options which I'll write down on the specific paragraph below.
    We will provide accomodation and food everyday. We eat everything but healthy, mostly vegetables, legums, rice, grains, pasta, eggs, fruit and just sometimes meat and fish. Once a day, after lunch or dinner you will be asked to run the dishwasher (10 minutes). Also If you are vegetarian or even vegan It's completely fine, we can arrange it without any problem!


    APPLICATIONS FROM 20th JUNE to the end of AUGUST:
    In this two months I will be hosting more for the pleasure to meet new people and exchanging rather than for real needs and work's help. In fact I'm just asking you from 10 to 15 hours per week instead of 25. You will always have 2 days completely off to go wherever or (if you need one more day because you want to do a longer trip just tell me and we will arrange it). Having said that, as I'm just asking you the half amount of hours expected by workaway, I therefore ask you to provide for your own food. We can make the grocery toghether and hopefully you like eating healthy and organic food like me so than your cooking time will be easier!!!:)
    The help will consist in coocking every day from Monday to friday and you will be asked to cook two meals per day as well as keep the kitchen tidy; the third meal it's on me. I eat a big breackfast, a big lunch and a not too big dinner. I appreciate if you have good cooking skills:)) On friday you will be asked to do the house cleaning. Last thing, I ask you to dedicate two hours per week for teaching me something that you like to share and teaching (language, art, playing an instrument, yoga, fitness, or whatever floats your boat!!)


    In any of the two cases you will share an entire flat with me (which Is my grandparents home but in summer they move to another place) and you will have your private room. Anyway, mostly every day at least for lunch we will be cooking and eating at my house with my mum and my sisters if they are at home (2 minutes far away).

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    You can understand more about the Italian colture from a smaller city where things are slower and the lifestyle is more enjoyable than in the main cities. Here in summer there are many things to do for all tastes as hiking in the fully green and gorgeous hills near by or having a swim in the beautiful and clean river sorrounded by marvellous waterfall !
    The hills are 50 minutes far away by bus or you can join me if you'd like as I go there frequently during summer! On the other side you can even reach the beach by bus in 1 hour; here you can enjoy a relaxing day, playing beach tennis, reading, walking and even clubbing at night, it is a really alive place. I also have a little house there in front of the beach where my grandparents use to live in summer and it is possible to stay there for a weekend!
    In evening also the city center of my little city is pretty alive and with good vibes!
    If during the weekends you want to visit some place of interest around Italy I can drive you to the train station which has train passing every 40 minutes to Bologna which is one of the biggest train stations in Italy where you can take one for any directions, like Florence, Rome, Milan, or wherever! To reach Bologna it takes about 50 minutes by train.
    You can also learn from me how to cook some healthy recipes:))
