Description
Hello!
I'm Bea, a bilingual (English-Italian) woman who has lived and travelled throughout Europe and across the Atlantic. I've done Workaway a few times pre-pandemic, and am so glad I can do it again now!
I am over 35, and prefer calmer environments with lots of green spaces. Love animals, cooking, exploring nature.
I've built a career (with a few pivots) around books and the arts, so I am always happy to chat about those topics!
Non-smoker, and very comfortable with a vegetarian diet (tho I can/do eat meat/fish occasionally), always open to try local cuisines and share recipes :)
As odd jobs I've done waitressing, event organizing, receptionist, pet and house sitter, and so on.
Random skill: making mosaics :)
Always happy to answer any questions/clarifications :)Interests

What else ...
Avid reader (I work in book publishing after all!), also love music and movies and museums. Anything with a good story.
I like being creative in various ways, especially anything I can do with my hands, from painting to crafts or small projects.
Also love long walks - the greener the environment, the better!
I enjoy board games but am not a competitive person, so I go for more cooperative or story-heavy games.Some more information
