Description

Hi, I'm Agnese and I'm from Milano. I've always dreamed of travelling around the world and after the COVID years my urge to try new things in a new place became very intense, so I decided to challenge myself, leaving my job and house, and experience the world as a workawayer. I am really curious about other countries' past, ways of living and perception of the world, so I want to live them as a local, learn their traditions and customs, eat their typical food, enjoy their events and festivals and experience real life in every country.

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.

Agnese is amongst the most hard working volunteers we have had on the farm. She worked non stop in heavy rains all by herself most of the time. She was majorly involved with mulching our mango trees with manure. The work involved clearing bushes, digging a ring around the trees, putting in compost and manure and finally closing the rings with mud … read more
