Description
Hello! We are Chiara and Zoë, and we are from Italy and the UK. We love helping and learning from others, travelling, the outdoors, and good food.
Chiara is a social worker. [I] have experience working with vulnerable individuals from different backgrounds. [I] worked with destitute adults experiencing homelessness in the UK, with asylum seekers seeking refuge in France, with refugees in Italy and across Europe, and with underprivileged women in Colombia on an empowerment project. [I] also enjoy gardening, crafting, crocheting, cinematography, and photography. [I] have also done a few workaway projects in the past.
Zoë is an epidemiologist. [I] have experience in control of infectious diseases in populations, particularly emerging, zoonotic, and vector-borne infections. [I] also have experience working with asylum seekers in France, with supporting recent immigrants to the United States, building houses in underprivileged areas and in homelessness and loneliness in the U.K. [I] love all sports, outdoor adventures, music and nature.
We are currently travelling and looking for ways to give back to the amazing countries and people we are visiting!
