Description
Sono una "ragazza matura" di 63 anni!!
Nonostante l'età sono ancora giovane, curiosa e desiderosa di fare nuove esperienze e di conoscere luoghi e persone.
Quello che mi piace di più di workaway è l'idea di scambiare aiuto ed esperienze di vita tra le persone.
Ho una figlia di 32 anni che ora vive da sola; Sono single al momento quindi libera di stare lontano da casa.
Sono una persona semplice, amo vivere in modo semplice!
Mi piace viaggiare e di solito vivo negli ostelli della gioventù quando vado all'estero; Sono rilassata e ho una visione positiva della vita.
Amo la natura, leggere, guardare films, ascoltare musica; Mi piace molto camminare. (10 km va bene…).
Sperimentare nuovi posti, cibi, abitudini è importante per me perché penso che questo renda il mondo più vicino e il cervello più grande!!
Quello che non mi piace profondamente è fumare.
Non ho particolari esigenze alimentari; Sono facilmente adattabile alle varie situazioni. Di solito preferisco quello sano. Non amo molto il cibo grasso, industriale o molto elaborato, ma mi piace tutto e posso preparare un pasto solo con erbe selvatiche raccolte in campagna!

More details about your skills
Da tempo e fino a poco tempo fa ho lavorato come receptionist in un centro termale del centro Italia, in Toscana.
A causa della crisi quel lavoro è stato ridotto a pochi mesi quindi negli ultimi anni ho sperimentato diversi lavori in più posti. Cameriera in più ristoranti e pizzerie, commessa, impiegata in un ufficio turistico, baby sitter, impiegata per colazioni e direzione generale in agriturismi..
Ho spaziato dalle pubbliche relazioni in un albergo a cinque stelle alla vita di campagna!!.

Mi piacerebbe usare il mio tempo libero per vivere all'estero, migliorare l'inglese o imparare una nuova lingua e cogliere l'opportunità di nuove amicizie!.
Il mio livello di inglese è intermedio (ho il First Certificate) e se hai bisogno che i tuoi figli facciano pratica mi piacerebbe molto aiutarli! A volte do lezioni di inglese di base.
Parlo un po' di francese e un livello medio di spagnolo... (abbastanza per farcela!)

Offro il mio aiuto per prendermi cura dei bambini, potrei essere una giovane zia per loro!; aiutare a pulire la casa, con le persone anziane, cucinare, cucire, fare giardinaggio, con gli animali domestici... amo moltissimo piante e fiori!!!
Non posso fare lavori pesanti perché non sono abituato alle attività muscolari come un uomo forte!
Sono indipendente, attiva, non ho bisogno che mi venga detto cosa fare una volta acquisita confidenza con la routine!
Ho un'elevata abilità nel fai da te e un forte senso di responsabilità.
Comunque sono aperta ad ogni tipo di aiuto, parlane e basta!
Age
64
What else ...
No problem to help on weekends.
I'm flexible, we can talk about days and hours and different activities.
I’m very organized in my private life, a clean person , respectful of others’ home and property.
If you need to go away and don't want to live your home abandoned , I don't mind to be alone..
Just let's talk about what you need, I'm very easy to agree with!

We had the pleasure of hosting Marcella for a couple of weeks, and her stay was nothing short of fantastic. Marcella brought with her a bright and sunny character, that immediately lit up our home.

I remained with Julia a week. We had an easy comunication since the very first moment. She is very welcoming and open minded, interested in having a cultural exchange .
The accomodation is perfect, the house is in the centre of Valencia, all the attractions are at walking distance and so the metro and the train station. Really fantastic position!… read more

Kathy has been a very nice host. She approched me as a friend more than a volunteer. The help needed was mostly in the garden and in the house, but very simple and nothing hard! She enjoys to share experiences so we went together to the cinema or to a nice lunch organized by her friends in the country. She is an experienced host so it is very easy… read more

As several other hosts have already said, Marcella is truly an excellent helper. She is a hard worker, flexible and skilled in many ambits. She is a pleasant person to have around the house and makes friends easily with local people. I thoroughly enjoyed her company and am grateful for all the help she gave me. Buona fortuna, Marcella!

Con questa famiglia ho avuto immediatamente un rapporto molto semplice, come se ci conoscessimo da tempo.

Marcella came as a stranger, she left as a friend.

If Marcella offers you her help, dont hesitate for a second. She's a seasoned traveller with an uncomplicated lifestyle who enjoys meeting local people and customs. She's also very respectful, sensible and curious.

Marcella visited us for ~3 weeks and she became such a good friend with Dafne!… read more

Marcella es una gran mujer. Extraordinaria cocinera. Muy limpia y trabajadora. Ha sido un placer tenerla en nuestra casa. Una persona altamente recomendable. Sabe mucho como organizar un hogar, cuidar niños y como dije anteriormente es excelente cocinera.
Será un placer volver a recibirla cuando quiera

Living with David for about 10 days has been a great experience of life. David is a pure boy, I’d say primordial in his behaviour and communication skills but very clear. He only uses a few words but after a day it’s easy to understand him even if my spanish is limited and I had never known anything about autism before.
He lives in his own world… read more

Christina is a lovely funny lady!! It’s very easy to get on well with her. She never has hard requests and the time she needs care is little.
