Description
Hi!
I am Cecilia, 33, Italian by origin, citizen of the world by choice.
I have changed many jobs and a few countries during my adult life, among which I've been waitress and bartender, children entertainer, tour guide and, last but not least, interpreter and translator, which is the path I chose for my university studies.
I love trekking into the wild and taking care of animals, my beloved cat as well as all of the other forms of animal life.
During my free time, I enjoy reading books and comic books, practicing yoga and, it goes without saying, travelling.
In my next Workaway experience I'm looking for a breath of fresh air, offering my help and full commitment at a animal rescue.Interests

Sadly I was poorly when she arrived so didn't see much of her for the first couple of days but she was a great help to Alan during that time and took everything in her stride.… read more
Jacquie and Alan welcomed me in their home with open heart and mind since day one, making me feel comfortable, listened and safe at all time.
They patiently explained me the behaviour and history of each animal, how to interact with them, how to carry out the feeding and any… read more
