Airbnb Will Pay You to Eat Pasta and Live in the Italian Countryside for Three Months This Summer
Do you like pasta? Do you like Italy? Do you want to eat pasta while living in Italy? If so, good news, because Airbnb is here to fulfill you dream. This summer, Airbnb is sending four people to learn how to cook and live like a true Italian.
If selected, you'll get to live in Italy from June to August, stay in a home in the center of Grottole, a tiny, beautiful town in southern Italy, and immerse yourself in the local culture by taking language and cooking classes with locals. Make pasta with Rosa, grow local produce with Andrea, and explore the beehives with Rocco, a hair stylist/beekeeper/saffron producer. All expenses paid!
You'll also volunteer for a local non-profit called Wonder Grottole, whose mission is to revitalize the town's historical center (go ahead, take those 'grams). A month into the trip, the lucky four will become co-hosts on Airbnb; your job will be to welcome guests to their room in the local community center or into a traditional home in the center of the village, and show them around town.
In your free time, you can explore the town's castle (it dates back to the TENTH century!); hang out at Grottole's popular café, Bar Zolletta; or check out the wine cellars, where many local families still produce their own wine.
To apply for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, submit an application before February 17, 2019 at 11:59 pm Central European Time (that's 5:59 pm Eastern Standard Time)...and clear your summer schedule.
