Description

Hey!
We are an Italian couple named Aurora and Michael, who have been together for a little over three years. We are going to take on a significant and thrilling adventure. We come from small country towns and we decided to turn our lives upside down, leave Italy and move to Australia.
Together, we took multiple journeys across Europe, and we constantly enjoy learning about new cultures, sites, and people from around the world.
Although we are two very different individuals, we make up for each other and we are also incredibly close. We approach life with a grin and simplicity, and we have several interests in common.

Let's get to know a little bit more about us:

Hi everyone, I'm Aurora, 25 years old. I'm a veterinary technician and I've recently graduated in wildlife conservation, my truly passion.
During my studies I have taken part in some Erasmus + programs, in France, in Malta and the longest one (6 months) in Estonia.
Last year I had my first Workaway experience on an Oregon farm (United States), and it was a memorable one that I will never forget. In my life I lived abroad for several months and those experiences had helped me realize that home is not just a place and how comfortable you may feel with strangers you've just met but who are actually closer to you than you might have thought. Every person I met along the way taught me something precious and they made me a better person.
I'm a bubbly, happy person that is incredibly curious. I'm upbeat, able to adjust to new circumstances, and I always chase my dreams.
I am an adventurous girl and my greatest passions are animals and nature photography, and my hope is to turn this passion of mine into a career by taking significant action to protect the environment. In my free time, I also enjoy reading, painting, going camping, scuba diving, and hiking in forests, mountains, and beaches while taking in my surroundings.

Hello, I'm Michael, 29 years old and I am a young man graduate of agricultural high school and because I have always had a strong interest in plants and animals, I have chosen to focus in the field of environmental and land care and management.
Throughout my career, I have had a variety of jobs, including those of metal worker, fruit vendor, highway greenery manager, gardener, and dairy worker.
I consider myself a determined and patient person; I enjoy interacting with people because I find it fascinating to hear about their lives and experiences. In fact, from an early age, I have participated in summer camps run by my parish on several occasions, being a children's animator. I like to make people laugh and I'm playful, I still have a childlike spirit.
At the same time, I love spending time alone myself reflecting on various topics, it' is very important to me.
