Description

ABOUT ME

Hi! I am Irene, I am italian and I am 29 and I have been travelling most of my life (for studying/working/pleasure). I am an English teacher in high school in Italy but this year I decided to stop to travel permanently for a year. I spent the last 4 months in Africa volunteering in a children's home and now it's time for Latin America.

I am curious. I have any peculiar talent, cause I can literally get passionate about everything. Sometimes I get lost because of this, but that's just me. I am curious. Curiosity is what moves me and helps me to stay alive. I am curious because I need to understand.

Curiosity is the main reason why I love to listen to people and their stories, to travel, to read, to learn different languages; to take pictures; to write...

I am a seeker, that's why I am a slow traveller. I love to live in the places I visit until I am sure that what I saw and who I met will be deeply rooted in my soul.

More details about your skills

My basic skills are in education: I have been teaching professionally for 4 years now with different ages (from kids to teenagers). I have worked as an educator with kids with disabilities for 2 years. Moreover I teach Italian to foreigners since I was at the university.

On the other hand, before becoming a professional teacher I did a lot of different jobs in order to travel or to pay the uni: I worked as a tourist guide, as a waitress, as a washdisher, as a babysitter. I am also very interested in sustainability and farming and that's the main reason why I am traveling to Latin America: to discover the beauty of nature and learn something about this topic.
