Description
Hi, I'm Agnese, a 29 years-old girl from Milano. I worked as a baker for 6 years in Italy, but I always felt like something was missing and I was chained to a life I didn't enjoy that much, stuck in an endless routine, and also I've always dreamed of traveling the world and explore new cultures, thus I decided to quit my job and start a new adventure to discover a new me and a different way of life. I am really curious about other countries' past, ways of living and perception of the world, so I want to experience them as a local, learn their traditions and customs, eat their typical food, enjoy their events and festivals and experience the real part of the countries.

I love animals and nature, and any activity you can do outside, but i also love a quiet day with a good movie or book. I like to make new experiences, be it food unknown to me, visiting a new city or beach or mountain, trying extreme sports or a new activity. I am a sincere and direct person, and I believe that communication is the key to every relationship. I always try my best, but I am not prideful so if I need help, I am not scared of asking.
When I was 18 yo I worked as aupair in England for a year to improve my English skills.

More details about your skills
I'm hardworking, responsible and a quick learner, and also I'm organized and precise; when I start a project, I become very invested and passionate about it, and can't stop till it's finished, as I like to see the final result.

I can speak Italian, my native language, english quite well, and a little bit of french, and also I'm learning Spanish, so I would like to practice if I have the opportunity.

I am a clean person and very serious about tidiness, plus I worked in guest houses in various countries , cleaning bathrooms and rooms and making beds.

I have some experience in farming and gardening as I helped some hosts with those tasks, like weeding, planting, pruning, seeding, mowing the lawn, feeding and taking care of animals (chickens, rabbits, horses, alpacas, cows and sheep), picking veggies/fruits and cutting hedges; I stayed with some hosts in the jungle and forest in sustainable campsites with only solar panels, water from the river and no gas and lived a simple but very joyful life for some weeks, and I definitely want to do it again!

I also have some basic DIY and building skills, as I helped in a construction site and some hosts too with simple projects, mostly with woods, like making coops and feeders for chickens and dismantling pallets; I also helped in renovating a metal boat, grinding the rust, cleaning and repainting the surface, and I definetely wanna go there again and learn more about sailboats.

I adapt and try to get the best from every situation with a positive mind, also I always do my very best to succeed, even if it takes more practice or tries.

I had a very great time with Giulio and Marcella, they are a loving and funny couple, giving me tips about Langkawi and also other countries. The work on the boat is doable, I had to grind the metal to take the rust off and then clean and paint; it's a long and sweaty job but it's very nice to see progress! The accomodation is amazing, a quiet and… read more

As previous workawayers said Sharom is truly kind and generous, happy to give advice about food or places to visit; the work at the hostel is not too hard, mostly cleaning bathrooms and rooms and check in guests. The best thing about this hostel is the friendly atmosphere and the proximity to the city center. Highly recommend!

Agnese, a wonderful volunteer from Milan, Italy, spent two weeks helping me at my home and guesthouse in Klebang, and I couldn't be more grateful for her support. She was a tremendous help with house cleaning, keeping everything in order, and also assisting with some administrative tasks, such as inputting new bookings into the system.

I stayed 3 weeks at the camp and I had an amazing time there! The camp is a 10 minutes walk from the nearest village, so it is very peaceful and private, and also it's very close to a waterfall where you can bath and relax; the work is not hard, gardening, painting and building, thus if you are into DIY then it's the perfect place for you, cause… read more

It was really great to have Agnese with us at Camp. We would say, the workawayer with the most common sense and does things and help readily even without being told. Agnese is really an experienced volunteer. We are happy she came to participate in our project. What a strong woman!

Very cool place and cool people to spend time with, John is an amazing host, always kind and he tries to solve any problem you might have and give you advice about japan and whatnot.

Agnese's other feedback echoes what I experienced during her multi-week stay with us; hard-working, very ready to find ways to help, and open to learning new things. She took on a lot of brand-new tasks and followed through with no trouble whatsoever. Her contributions to our community are deeply appreciated and we'd happily recommend her to… read more

My stay with Lee was very good, he is very funny and welcoming and both he and his parents always made sure we workawayers were well fed.

An awesome attitude, a terrific personality and always welcome here. Flowers can now see the light of day. Cobbles are no longer covered in weeds. The lawns are manicured.

I stayed with Candice only 10 days but she made sure I had an amazing time, showing me around Rotorua and going to the hot pools or lake. During my stay we had to cut meat and then make sausages out of half a cow, and even if it was my first time doing something like that, I enjoyed it and it was gratifying as the meat and sausages were delicious!… read more

Amazing host, amazing place and amazing dog! Nic is very relaxed and solar, always reminding me to take a break and drink water, and also Bean is a very cute and energetic puppy!

Wow, what a hard working young woman. She powered through my garden doing a massive clear out of weeds and rubbish! Agnese was a pleasure to host: polite, interested, keen to get things done correctly and needing minimal supervision once the project was explained. I recommend her to other hosts.
