I've gotta give this Italian cat some credit for being clever. He lives in Rome yet has been posting this on various California forums:

Hi Dear CouchSurfers,
The life gave me a big challenge to win. Improving my English in one Month!

Why?
Because my boss came to me in a quiet day and told me "You have time until Semptember for improving your English, Improve It or you will be fired".
[me: suuuuuuuure....]

How?
I know that the better way would be go in a English Country but I have to work in Italy - Rome. So, what can I do?

Solution:
I will host an American for an Entire Month in Rome. I offer a cute bed in the center of Rome. Obviusly Foods and Bed will be totally payed by me. You have to pay just the plane ticket.

So, Come On, Rome is waiting for you!
Unique Opportunity to stay for a long time in Rome totally Free!

Let me know!
Luigi

A young American chic has already expressed interest:

Hi! I am Reachelle and I live in California USA
Wow this sounds amazing! When would your English helper need to arrive??

He responds that not only will she be helping him practice English, but he is taking her to a small sea side town (Calabria). He must've watched Vicky Christina Barcelona.

As soon as possible. And from 12 August to 19 August (one week) I'll go to my sea home in Calabria (One of the best Place of sea in Italy) and the "English Helper" will come with me. So Not only Rome, but also the sea side of Italy :-). If you want to come or you know somebody interested let me know. I'll be very glad

A guy also expressed interest in being his English teach, but no response to him, lol. His hosting preference is for women only.

It'll be a real life version of that Onion article: http://www.theonion.com/articles/europea...ric,11552/
