The Experience
- it is essential for me that those who come and stay with me, tell me exactly how long they intend to stay and then respect the commitment made until the end. Therefore, I will not accept people with an unclear schedule and who, until the end, cannot tell me whether they will leave the next day or after a week. I am willing to be flexible, but the arrival and departure dates must be defined and respected as soon as possible.

✌️ It was a fun experience to be with the home and his cool friends! For other volunteers - the home prefers flexibility and most requests communicates in that day, but not in advance. He easy removed the camera in the kitchen when was asked to. Children are sweet, but i felt discomfort as of language barrier. Can openly talk to him about discomfort and he will do everything possible to make you feel good as a guest at his home. Felt tired because there was no opportunity in the house to rest during the weekends. Grateful for the invite and wish you only the best ✌️🕶️

My experience was amazing! the home is an incredible person, and I was so lucky to have been part of the family for these two months! The kids are lovely, and I will definitely miss them so much! Ásia is such a sweetheart; she made me feel what it's like to have a sister, haha. With her, I also learned a little Italian! It was all so incredible! About the home, he will take you to visit lots of amazing places, he's super funny and very friendly! I definitely left here with a new family! I already miss them!

My experience at Felipo's house was great. He has a very cute daughter, and all work schedules were respected. It was a very good experience if you want to stay at a local's house! It was great!!!

Overall an enjoyable experience. Fillipo is a friendly host and kids are the sweetest angels. Tasks are easy and flexible hours. Host makes a big effort to show you around and experience Sicily. But I did not appreciate cameras being installed without notifying me. I also felt uncomfortable at times with some comments the host made and I felt the experience was more the host looking for company/a friend rather than for the kids so if you are ok with this, I would highly recommend this host as he's very friendly. I would also advise rules of the house and hours to be discussed prior.

Yes probabily I wrong didn't say nothing about camera in living room that my son use for King the cat at home because often he is alone and cat stay often in living room. As we explained to Shakira we used when nobody is at home but I can understand she felt unconfortable. I will remove or covered it if somebody doesn't like it. About my comments don't know what I can say maybe my irony is different and my english not so good. But I will learn from her impressions amd I will the best for feel my guest confortable at home.

Fue mi 1 exp en WP. la casa es un gran viajero y por ello creo que él sabe la experiencia que queremos llevar. Él me llevó a conocer muchos lugares dentro de Palermo y enseñarme su ciudad, me presentó a algunas personas quienes organizan reuniones internacionales. Ha hecho la cena todos los días para todos💖 se sintió como si fuera mi papá tambien. Asia es una chica tímida, pero muy dulce y animada. Siempre que esté Asia en casa lo más importante es cuidar de ella. Sin embargo también tuve varias tareas del hogar. Duermes en un sofacama en la sala. Sicilia es una isla hermosa. Tienes q venir
