I've just quit my job in Italy because I felt the urge to do something radically different, travel, meet people, stories, get a chance to learn and do some DIY and practice language skills.
Beschreibung
I'm Francesca, from Firenze, Italy. I've been working as an assistant to an important Italian intellectual and cultural operator for the past 12 years. Last autumn I realised that in the previous months the most fun and happy moments I had lived had involved meeting new people, travelling, listening to different stories and making new experiences. I also felt the urge to leave Italy so I quit my job and here I am on Workaway.
I'm not really the handyman kind of person but I would really like to learn some of those skills. Thanks to Workaway I got a chance to put up my first shelves! And realise that I can prepare pasta with more or less anything.
At first I sometimes may seem shy but I'm actually pretty easy going, willing and happy to help and learn, curious, patient, trustworthy, respectful, hard worker and I rarely say no to anything without trying first. In fact, I'm jumping in this Workaway experience to try something fascinating I haven't yet tried!
I am very interested in culture, art, films and music. I'm an almost self-taught guitar player, I enjoy making music and singing by myself and with others. I read and write a lot, like learning new things, listening to unheard stories and discovering new cultures. In fact I've lived for three years in South Africa as a child and absolutely loved it. I'm a former amateur football (or soccer) player but I enjoy sports in general. I have recently discovered the pleasures of hiking.Interessengebiete

Was könntest du arbeiten?
I'm trustworthy and helpful. I don't have any particular manual skill but I'm good at reading (or following) instructions and I'm a fast and interested learner in more or less anything. Otherwise I can help to lift weights, moving, help out in gardens, I have some computer knowledge. I have a driving license, I can teach some basic guitar for beginners, do household chores, improve your Italian.

I am mother tongue Italian. I have lived in South Africa as a child so my English is pretty fluent. I am mostly willing to improve the French that I studied (very well) in high school but I also enjoy getting a chance to speak English. Wouldn't say no to practicing the German I learned not so well in school.Alter

I have lived in South Africa for three years as a child but otherwise I've never left Florence in Italy and its outskirts. Apart from my various travels.Etwas mehr Information

She was very quick not only to understand but also to appreciate, that she had come to join us at a very busy time- within a week of our first guests arriving.
She was a great support to me during this time (especially with my husband away working) not just in… read more
Jen took me on a really short notice and I arrived at quite a busy time as guests where about to arrive. There was just so much to be done that I spent most of the first days working by myself and there was so much to be done… read more
She is very smart and eager to learn. She is very quick and very knowledgable with computer.
She will also make you some excellent pasta with good conversation.
The workload wasn't heavy at all, Milou is a dog that even people who are not used to dogs such as myself can walk around,… read more
