Beschreibung

Hello! I'm a 26 year old historian from Washington, DC. I got my Master's Medieval History from Cambridge in the UK, with a BA in Medieval Studies from the Catholic University of America. I focus my research on cultural and political history of medieval europe, but also work in Colonial American history.

The fun stuff: I'm a vocalist and very passionate about music, especially Classical, Jazz, Folk, Country and Classic Rock, and I also enjoy acting and performing. I'm very interested in the arts, local cultures, and literature, so I am very happy in a museum, art galley, or old library. My big passion is hiking and outdoorsmanship, I really enjoy going on long hikes in the mountains, camping in forests, sailing along the coastline, kayaking, and swimming. Also, I'm very interested in geology (so I enjoy searching and digging for rocks and minerals in the mountains), cooking (especially seafood), foreign languages, and my Catholic faith.

My goal is to find meaningful opportunities to live with locals, to study and practice their language, and to support and contribute to those people. I especially want to learn from them and share my own culture in an exchange. So, tutoring or teaching English is the best way that I can contribute for you. I speak German and am studying Italian and French

We spent some beautiful days with Drew. He is a very kind and polite guy. He immediately bonded with us, our children and their friends, and became part of the family in the last vacation days in the mountains. He helped all of us improving our English language and he was really helpful and proactive in many activities. We would have liked to have … read more

Vom Workawayer () für Host (Help our family with language ...)

POTENTIAL WORKAWAYERS- Only message this family if you are ready for a meaningful and personal experience. If you just want a place to stay, or free food, then ask someone else. This family will give you so so much, and they deserve attention, positivity, and a true attitude of exchange in return. If you really want to connect with people, learn … read more from them, and help them learn, then they are perfect for you!

While the memories of my time in Lombardia are fresh in my mind, I'll give the best explanation I can regarding my stay.

From the beginning, clear and helpful communication between Marco, Cristina, and I made planning and arriving in Milan unbelievably easy. All the information they gave me was accurate and helpful, and I immediately felt confident that we all would really benefit from this exchange. Even though all of our schedules were complicated and interwoven, they warmly offered their home, and successfully navigated through every difficulty with a smile.

Every detail, even though it may not have seemed important, revealed the care and concern that Marco and Cristina had for me; from leaving some regional travel guides on the desk in my room for me, and introducing me to friends, relatives, and neighbors, to getting all kinds of local foods for me to taste and experience. Always checking in with me, and assisting with anything I needed, I felt a true, honest, and compassionate hospitality. And so, I felt that I needed to give the best possible exchange and English assistance I could; because they deserved my best in return for their best!

The two weeks spent with them seemed to be a month, because each day was chock-full of immersion, excitement, great conversation, and good times. I felt a strong connection with each member of the family, and was able to spend lots of time with each of them (except Guglielmo, though the 2 days I spent with him were just as exciting 😎). I truly got to know each of them as individuals, learning their unique personalities and interests! Good conversations and cooking with Marco, walks around the town with Cristina, hanging out with Olmo and his friends, going on day trips and exchanging language lessons with Anita, and relaxing with Guglielmo at the end.

Everybody was so excited to learn, and really responsive to all the help I gave with English, the new words and phrases I shared, and the grammar and pronunciation I taught, that it just felt natural. It was a joy to help them practice, and I really felt like I was helping them improve, since I could notice all the improvements they made, and when they used all the new words and phrases the next day! And, I learned so much in this short time; all about their region, about it's culture and history, and (most importantly) about the Italian language. They were quick to help me whenever I stumbled when speaking Italian, and gave me tons of opportunities to practice with them and with others. At the end, of course, it was sad to leave, but I am certain that these memories will always remain, and that we will make many more together! I feel like a part of their family now, and I can't thank them enough- Marco, Cristina, Olmo, Anita, and Guli- honest people with good hearts and sharp minds. They have a bright future ahead, and I hope that I helped them get a few more glimmers.

With my warmest regards!
-Drew William (Andrea Guglielmo)
