Hello all! I'm currently in Vancouver and I would like to visit BC. I love mountains, observing birds and animals, natural photography, embracing new cultures, storytelling, and being creative!

Description

Hello! I am new to workaway and very excited to be here!
I have been curious about the world my entire life and I am now ready to travel and learn from all those I meet along the way.

I'm studying wildlife biology.
I'm fascinated by biodiversity, zoology and ecology. I really believe that nature conservation is more important today than ever before and human and nature can live in harmony.

I grew up in the countryside, surrounded by nature and animals.
My grandparents growing cereals and rising cows, pigs, chickens and rabbits.
Today my family focused on cultivating ancient grains, beekeeping, olive growing and vegetable garden. Since I was a child I observed them with curiosity and I learned early to get my hands dirty.

In Italy I partecipated in the National Wolf Monitoring Project. I was also a volunteer at the Wildlife Recovery Center in Rome.
I love dogs so much, especially my German Shepherd Orso, and horses.

After a very difficult period in my life, I want to focus on finding myself and to reconnect with nature and the beauty of simple things.
People describe as kindness girl, creative, reliable, hard working, accurate, thoughtful and a good listener.
I love hiking, wildlife photography, reading books, meditate, doing Yoga, outdoor activities, music and cooking.
Spending time outside in nature, take long walks and observe wildlife, puts me in the best mood.
I am an independent person and can enjoy spending time on my own, but I also adore hanging out with other people and having good conversations.
I love learning; I am curious and always motivated to learn about all sorts of different things and acquire new skills.
I'm particulay excited about diving into forestry and wildlife, self-sustaining ecosystem, gardening, forest ecosystem and animal care.

I can't wait to help you in your and maybe become good friends. Thank you!
