  Description

  We are a small family who recently moved to Sicily, just over a month ago. Our family includes our little boy Leonardo, who brings joy and energy to our everyday life.
  
  We love traveling in our van, exploring new places, and meeting new people along the way. We enjoy connecting with different cultures and sharing experiences with others.
  
  Our lifestyle is simple and open-minded, and we’re always happy to welcome kind and respectful people into our home.

  Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

  As a family, we enjoy sharing meals, going for walks, exploring the beautiful surroundings of Sicily, and spending time outdoors with our van. We love meeting new people and exchanging stories.
  Depending on the time of year, we’re happy to bring our Workawayer along to local markets, small village festivals, or family outings. We want our guest to feel like part of our daily life, not just a helper.
  
  We can share our knowledge of Italian language and culture, as well as daily family life in Sicily.
  If you’re interested in learning Italian, we’re happy to support you and speak with you slowly and clearly.
  We can also share simple recipes from Italian home cooking and show you around some of the local spots we love discovering.
  
  We believe that meeting people from different cultures is a beautiful way to open our minds and grow as a family.
  We hope to offer our son Leonardo the chance to learn English naturally through real connection, and at the same time, we’re curious to learn about different ways of living, thinking, and communicating.
  We also see Workaway as a great opportunity to create meaningful human connections that go beyond cultural differences.

  Help

  We’d love to host an easygoing and sociable girl who enjoys spending time with children and helping out around the house.
  Leonardo is a cheerful and curious little boy, and we’d love for him to spend time with a kind and playful person while we manage our work.
  
  Although you would be here to give us a hand, you’ll also have plenty of free time to relax, explore the area, or enjoy your own space.
  
  We’re especially looking for a native English speaker so that Leonardo can start getting familiar with the language in a natural way.
  In exchange, we offer food and accommodation, and if you’re interested, we’d be happy to help you learn or improve your Italian too!
  
  If you love being part of family life and like the idea of living in Sicily for a while, we’d be very happy to welcome you into our home.
