Description

What motivates me and brings me happiness is the opportunity to learn and experience new things. I love to travel and explore new places, but I also enjoy getting to know the local culture and people wherever I go. That's why Workaway is such an attractive option for me - not only can I see new places and work on interesting projects, but I also have the chance to meet new people and learn about their way of life. In my free time, I enjoy keeping up with the latest developments in software development and programming. I also have a background in playing team sports, soccer, which has taught me valuable lessons about teamwork and cooperation. I believe that every experience - whether it's related to work, travel, or personal growth - presents an opportunity to learn and grow, and that's what I strive for in every aspect of my life.

More details about my language interests
I am a native Italian speaker and I speak English fairly well. Although I have no formal teaching experience, I have given private lessons in other subjects during my university years, and some of my students managed to improve their grades significantly. I am interested in improving my English skills. I am also willing to teach some basic Italian or English to those who are interested.

More details about your skills

I have a degree in Computer Engineering and work as a backend developer in an agency that helps businesses with their online presence. I can also do some frontend development. I enjoy programming and have built websites from scratch, including one for my local parish (https://www.upreginadellafamiglia.it/).

Outside of work, I enjoy travelling and experiencing different cultures. My most memorable travel experience was walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, where I covered 200km on foot with just a backpack. I've also spent a month living like a local in Bali and working as a digital nomad. I'm an avid football player and have played since childhood. Playing team sports has taught me how to cooperate and work effectively with others. I'm also passionate about helping my local community and have volunteered as an educator for young children in my church.

Overall, my programming and web development skills, combined with my passion for travelling, sports, and community service, make me an ideal candidate for Workaway. I look forward to meeting new hosts and fellow Workawayers and contributing my skills to meaningful projects while immersing myself in new cultures.

What else ...

In addition to my professional and travel experiences, I have various hobbies and interests. I enjoy playing and learning new board games, so if you're a host or fellow Workawayer who shares this interest, I'd be happy to join you for a game night. Additionally, I'm always interested in trying new foods and learning about local cuisines, so I'd love to hear your recommendations for the best local dishes to try. Overall, I'm open-minded and adaptable, and I'm excited to learn and try new things during my Workaway experiences.
