Description

A 22 year old Italian-Turkish backpacker who believes that life is too short to be afraid of trying new things. Last year I took a sudden decision to take a gap year from my studies and start a Journey in Australia. So far, I've tried to constantly challenge myself, stepping out of my comfort zone and experiencing different ways of living, and these experiences have transformed me into the adventure seeking person I am today (or who knows, maybe I was that person all along and yet I didn't know it). After 5 months of very intense work in Victoria, I decided to explore Southeast Asia for an indefinite amount of time. After two months and a half, I feel that it is time for me to return to Oz to not only work, but also socialize and truly immerse myself into the Australian experience! Although I like to spend time by myself, I'm also deeply inspired and interested in connecting with people—sharing thoughts, stories, and experiences. I also like to fully commit to whatever I’m doing, whether it’s working, travelling, or studying.

More details about my language interests
I think that languages reflect the native speaker's culture, hence a language exchange is in essence a way to learn the other's culture

More details about your skills

My biggest skill is my ability to fully commit to whatever I'm doing and give my best, both during the learning period as well as once I know the Job. My work experience consists in 1 month of intense farm work in rural Victoria and 4 months in Melbourne working across 3 restaurants simultaneously. I'm bilingual, as I grew up in Italy and was raised by Turkish parents, and I'm fluent in English.

What else ...

I am a a big Sci-fi and fantasy nerd. I love reading (you can guess the genre) and I absolutely love boardgames, be it the fun and easy ones as well as the mind-obliterating ones that take forever to learn. I also love the outdoors, and as I grew up in the mountains, I need to hike at least once a week to recharge.
