Airbnb Will Pay You To Eat Pasta In Italy, And I’m Ready To Pack A Bag

Italy! Italy is THE most amazing place I have ever visited. I went years ago, when I was 28. I met an Italian guy who was visiting America for the

summer, and was staying with family friends here in Charlotte. We hit it off, and dated all summer. When he went back to Italy in the fall, I planned a trip. I flew over by myself, and stayed in Italy with him and his family for two weeks. It was the most amazing trip I've ever been on! I would love to go back.

If you've always wanted to visit Italy, or have thought about traveling there for the first time, you could go for free! Airbnb is offering an Italian sabbatical program that sounds absolutely amazing. If  you're selected, you'll get to live in Italy from June to August, stay in a home in the center of Grottole, and immerse yourself in the local culture by taking language and cooking classes with locals. You'll get to make pasta, grow local veggies, and check out the beehives that are in the city. And all your expenses are paid for!

You'll also volunteer for a local non-profit called Wonder Grottole, whose mission is to revitalize the town's historical center. And you'll have plenty of spare time to explore the city, and enjoy the wine cellars. Food, wine, history, learning, and fun! Best vacation ever!
