Hey guys, I liked your story altho I'm not a reader from the beginning so felt kinda lost in the bigger picture :D But traveling and working with locals for shelter/food was alsways on my bucket list. Still unchecked tho..I guess you get to know the culture that way the most. How did you find that family? Workaway.com?
Anyway, I shared your post HERE in the @pifc league, hopefully some more people will come over and give u some support :)
Good to hear you enjoyed reading this anyways! :) The big picture in summary is, that we traveled around Italy and worked through Workaway (you guessed right! Or did I write it there, can't remember anymore and I'm too lazy to check?). Our first job was in Montefiascone and really was an educative experience in many ways (culture-wise aswell). Some cities we just visited during our freetime and after we finished working with them.
I can highly recommend trying workaway or some similar organization (btw there's also some sites for house sitting)! It's much easier to find a job through some of these organizations as a foreigner. Especially if you don't know the language or don't have any contacts with locals at first.
Hah I guessed it! Don't take my success away from me haha :D
