Description

As a child, I grew up reading books about different parts of the world, I was fascinated with the Pyramids of Egypt and The Great Wall of China, and I dreamed of one day traveling the world.
My house was always very international, with people from all over the world who came for long and short periods of time. Therefore I was always encouraged to try different foods, learn new languages, and listen to different kinds of music.
Growing up in a small town in Argentina, I always felt a bit restrained. Although I love my country, I always knew I belonged somewhere else, so when I turned 18, I told my parents I wanted to go away. I found a hostel in a small city in Belgium that offered accommodation and food in exchange for work, and I started my journey with absolutely no idea what to expect from it. The experience was very special, so I kept doing it in different countries until I decided to settle in Italy.
Because my family is originally from Italy, I got citizenship and became familiar with the culture, learning the language, the traditions, and of course, the cooking skills.
I now live happily in Florence, where I finished my marketing and communications studies last year. Still, since a regular job at an office is not for me, and I would like to keep traveling and exploring the world, I have decided to work remotely. In this way, time would be entirely my own to take some months off to use workaway to get a break from city life and reconnect with nature which is very important for me.
Learning languages is my passion, and I would love to learn as many as possible. My goal is perhaps a bit ambitious, but I hope to one day speak French, Portuguese, and Japanese or at least be able to understand them.
I enjoy the exchange of cultures and different life experiences very much; therefore, I live surrounded by people from different cultural backgrounds with whom I feel free to discuss politics, arts, and anything that makes up for interesting topics of conversation.
This is just a tiny bit of who I am and what motivates me and makes me happy, but I would be thrilled to talk and share further information with anyone interested :)

More details about my language interests
If I could have a superpower, I would want it to be the capacity to understand and speak every language in the world. Until then, I will be happy to start by learning French, Portuguese, or Japanese. I love to immerse myself in a culture different from my own where I don't speak the language, and even if we don't have a language in common. My desire to express myself is so strong that I know for sure I will soon start understanding and speaking at least the basics fast enough to be able to communicate. As much as I enjoy learning, I also like to teach. I have experience teaching English to Italian children, and I had a lot of fun doing it. I was amazed at how fast they were able to learn. I would also be happy to teach adults English, Spanish, or Italian.

More details about your skills

I am not very strong, but I am full of energy and will to get things done. I lived on a farm, so there are many things that I can still do, such as cut wood, take care of animals, and vegetable gardens.
I'm also good at cleaning and organizing because I worked at hostels and clothing stores, and it was something required that had to be done professionally. Besides that, it is something I do with pleasure and gives me a lot of satisfaction. My house is my sacred space, and I always like to keep it clean and tidy.
I am also quite experienced at cooking for many people simply because I always invite my friends to eat at my house.
I would be happy to do anything I can to help; I am a fast learner, so I'm pleased to do things I have never done before.

What else ...

My favorite thing to do with my free time is to read and write; I enjoy books of all kinds but particularly novels, poetry, psychology, and classics. I also love to paint, take photographs, listen to music, play chess, and watch independent movies or old classics.
Usually, I spend a lot of time on my own, but I love good company, and having dinner with my friends always brings me joy.
I also take care of dogs and sometimes cats if time allows, simply because I love them. I take them out for walks and look after them until the owners return.
I also love horses, we used to have them at the farm where I grew up, but now it's been a long time since I haven't had the chance to ride, so I would be particularly interested in reconnecting with that side of my childhood.
