  Description

  I am Mimma. I am 49, I'm an indipendent hiking guide and an artisan and live with my husband and 15 yo son...plus Blitz the cat. I also have another cat living in my craft space, Gino.
  I live in Matera, one of the most beautiful and visited towns in Southern Italy. We are surrounded by nature and culture and it's beautiful here, you can hike all around and it's also very close to our beautiful Ionian coast. Matera is a beautiful town and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

  Accommodation

  I offer accommodation in my house in a room with my son or in another apartment that I use also as a workspace. I'm interested in someone who cooks also because my son has a passion for cooking and I would like the workawayer cook with him.

  What else ...

  My house is 78 square meters. My husband smokes but never at home. It's not big but the block is amazing and very close to the centre...the perfect workawayer is someone who would match with my 15 yo son and talk with him and play. He's alone and does videogames all the time but if he has a good company he prefers people. I'm available to teach Italian, create connections with young people here (I have a lot of friends in their 20 and 30 because of my job) and teach paper crafts. I'm a creative person and I love active people. When my son is at school the workawayer could be free but I need help mainly from 5 pm to 10 pm.
  I have a car.
