Description

Hi! My name's Edoardo and I am 27. I was born and live in Sardinia, a beautiful island in Italy.

I have always loved checking out new places, people and cultures. When I was 16, for example, I went to live and study in Norheimsund, Norway for one year . I then lived for over 2 years in Innsbruck, Austria during my Uni years. I also visited Ecuador and Morocco. I now want to explore South-East Asia and Japan.

I love playing and watching football, but I also enjoy snowboarding and skating. My mom is a succesfull long-distance runner at national level so I sometimes go jogging and try to hopelessly catch up with her. As a kid I did karate and won some competitions at national level. Other lovely ways of spending time for me are reading, observing nature, strumming my guitar, watching movies, eating gelato, grabbing some drinks with nice people and listening to music.

I currently live in the countryside and I enjoy taking care of our olive grove, fruit trees, garden, lawn and so on. I make a living working as a freelance translator and language tutor as I graduated in Linguistic Mediation (English and German).

I live with 2 pets (a big dog, Lea, and a small cat, Anita) and adore hanging out with animals and taking care of them. That's why I can be a big help in your household and/or in any of your activities outdoor and indoor. I am not a picky person at all so I can adapt and live in pretty much all situations. Myself I am pretty tidy and clean. I should also probably mention that I'm a vegetarian with a vegan heart ( I sometimes eat cheese and occasionaly some eggs). Still, if the situation required it because of a lack of alternatives, I'd be willing to eat some meat.

I think you get the picture but please feel free to ask me anything you might think of :)

More details about my language interests
I am a language private tutor. I teach Italian to foreing students (from the US and China for example), and I have also taught English and German to Italian students that needed to pass high school exams, or adults who simply wanted to learn a new language. I look forward to teaching languages to kids through fun activities and to anybody else.

More details about your skills

I can speak Italian, Sardinian, English, German and some Spanish and Japanese. I have taught English and German to Italian students and Italian to foreign students for a few years now. I find teaching very rewarding and could help you with that if you need me to.

I live in the countryside and our land hosts several types of trees (we grow veggies, olives, grapes, pomegranates, nuts, figs and more for ourselves). I have learned what it takes to take care of them, I do some hoeing, mowning, trimming and so on. I could happily give you a hand with your garden.

In the past I worked in supermarkets, bars (a little bit) and clothing stores, as a rider and as a yacht agent. I learned lots of things from every position so I consider myself capable of adapting to different kinds of jobs.

What else ...

I have a complicated relationship with chess. I love playing chess too much so I try not to do it as it distracts me from other activities. But we can play if you're up to it.
