  • Description

    I am a 54 years old married woman with a 21 year old daughter. I have been studing english my whole life but I never had the opportunity of going for a long period of time to an english speaking country, so I would like to have the possibility to do it. I have a degree in conservation and restoration on fine arts (wood, paints, textile and photography). Currently I work in a historical archive specifically with antique photography process, as conservator, organising the photographic archive.
    I'm a very hard working person, positive and easy going.
    Every summer I work as volunteer in a Scout Camp as cook assistant, so I'm used yo sharing bedroom, bathroom, and communal spaces.
