Wonderful Experience in Val di Non
February 02, 2026by: Chris Powers - United StatesProgram: Exchange and Experience Italian Lifestyles with Joinki
I had a wonderful experience! Joinki connected me with an amazing family who had two young boys. I enjoyed being able to teach them English and to pick up some Italian in the process. The home cooked meals and day trips around Trentino Alto Adige I will never forget. If you love Italian culture, food and history I definitely recommend this program. Italians once they know you’re a good person, they are extremely kind people. This program was a good fit for me because I enjoy helping people. Being able to tutor some English was very rewarding for me.
A Perfetto Immersion Experience!

Words cannot express my gratitude and admiration to Sabrina’s for her passion and vision in creating this language program. Because Joinki, I came away with an understanding of Italia that I never would have had before, had I just been a tourist. I came back to the United States with my heart full of love and memories, and a brand new family. I would go back in a heartbeat to invest in the relationships that I created while I was there. This was a life-changing experience for which I am truly grateful!
Thanks Denise, it was a pleasure having you in our program. Hope to meet you again in Italy!
An unforgettable and amazing month in Trentino!

I really enjoyed my time in Trentino with the Joinki program, and I really cannot recommend it enough! It gave me an amazing opportunity to immerse myself into the Trentino culture, and I feel like I have truly made a connection with the place and the people for life. I now think of my host family as my actual second family and I am so grateful to Sabrina for pairing me with them. I also really appreciate Sabrina for welcoming me and looking after me so well, as she kept checking in on me throughout my stay and planned some amazing excursions with me, making my experience even more special. This has genuinely been an amazing once-in-a-lifetime experience that has changed my life and I highly recommend it. I’ve made so many amazing memories and I’ve seen so many great things- the mountains and the lakes are absolutely breathtaking! Since leaving Trentino about 3 months ago, I have already been back twice, and I will certainly go back again to see everyone again (and to keep exploring some more!!).
Thanks Samantha for thinking of Joinki. You will be always welcome in Trentino. Thanks!!
