My next destination:
New Zealand - from Jun 2024 until Nov 2024 View allDescription
Ciao! I’m Elena, I’m 28 and I’m Italian.
I love getting to know new people and new cultures and I mostly love doing it by travelling and constantly stepping out of my comfort zone.
I am passionate about photography and tv series and I am also a walking Italian cliché: my body only works with constant refuel of coffee and food.
My biggest need is being close to nature, especially in the mountains, where everywhere you turn you are left speechless by the beautiful scenery.
I have a Bachelor degree in foreign languages, where I studied English, German and Russian. Over the years I also learned some French and Spanish, so I usually have no problem at all with communication.
I already have experience in volunteering projects, mostly teaching languages and in the hospitality field. I am currently working as a receptionist for a hotel in a ski resort.
I can’t wait to learn new skills, meet new people and explore places I’ve never been to!Interests

I have worked as a waitress in different restaurants and as a team member in a fast food company.
I also worked as a receptionist for a paragliding company and I’m currently working as a head receptionist and assistant manager for a hotel in the ski resort of Sankt Anton, Austria.
These jobs gave me plenty of experience in the hospitality field, teaching me skills like customer care, team work, multitasking and problem solving.
I am good at dealing with stressful situations, where you need to think quickly and find an immediate solution.
I love working on my own, but I really enjoy working in a team, where everyone does its part and helps those in need.
I obtained a TEFL certificate, that allows me to teach English to foreign learners. I have volunteered abroad teaching English and I currently work online teaching Italian in my free time.
I am a quick learner, highly motivated and ready to learn everything I can from every new experience.Age

I am lactose intolerant, so I try to avoid milk-based products, even though sometimes eating some delicious ice cream is worth the pain...
