L'esperienza

Don't worry if this profile looks very "anonymous": my wife is a public person, and we'll share information to suitable volunteers as soon as they write us.
- Nice home in Calabria with a garden and mellow pets (no children)
- Friendly and warm, interested in cultural exchanges and long stay
- Wide experience in hosting for free who comes for Italian citizenship
- Our guests can learn a very correct Italian, or speak English/Portuguese with us

Dettagli del programma

Living in a family is very different from volunteering in hostels or hotels. Therefore, who is used to volunteering in hostels, where hosts offer just B&B, usually no lunch or dinner, and nothing else, must know that here we offer much more. First of all, a full immersion in Italian language for free, all the food (even during the days off in exchange of some help in the kitchen/cooking), pizza, cinema and several extras.

We need daily help in the morning with common home duties, including taking care of food for the two of us (lunch and dinner) and our pets. Apart from the minimum stay requirement of 1 month, which is the platform's limit, we are looking for a traveler that can stay for a longer period (as a 2 month minimum stay) or, better, who is looking for Italian citizenship and need to learn Italian. We never ask any fee and never ask our guests any contribution to the taxes which depend on the number of family members (in case our guests need "residenza"). We would be able to host a couple or a pair of female friends. Who is planning to change their life moving to Italy, could start contacting us.

We teach a very correct Italian language, we offer full immersion in a highly educated Italian family, whose standards are certainly international. In one sentence, we offer much more than we receive with the help of 6 hours a day (5 days a week).
We live in a quiet place, far from downtown, and we try to help our volunteers during their days off bringing them to the train station any time we can.

Who cannot understand the value of such an offer, is kindly asked to avoid sending their application.
The volunteers who think that during the days off they can cook just for themselves, or that we must cook for them, should avoid sending their application.
