Description
Hi, my name is Matteo!
I am a student currently studying Computer Science and Italian at Washington University in St. Louis (USA), but I am born and raised in Los Angeles, California. I love the outdoors and spending time in nature, especially surfing or sailing at the beach. I am a dual Italian-American citizen looking to explore my Italian heritage and learn more of the language.
I have been to Tuscany, near Grosseto, many times to visit my grandma, and I have traveled around the region as far as Rome. I would like to see more of the country as well as experience the unique cultures that each region possesses.
In my free time I enjoy reading, computer programming, watching movies, and chatting with friends. I love to be active, whether that be swimming, playing sports, or biking. I am also a very clean person and would keep very tidy. I love all animals and have lots of experience taking care of them. I can’t wait to make lasting relationships with everyone I meet during my Workaway!Interests
