  • Description

    Hi! I am a young Italian girl from a small village near the Alps, surrounded by nature.
    This would be my first experience on the Workaway platform, but last summer I spent three months in a small village in Tuscany doing a similar experience. I stayed at a glamping site where, for a few hours each day, I took care of cleaning and organizing the tents and bathrooms, and occasionally helped at the bar with aperitifs and serving customers.

    Although I may seem a bit shy at first, I consider myself very sociable and talkative, especially when I feel comfortable. I love sharing my experiences, talking about my thoughts and adventures, but I also find great joy in listening to other people’s stories. I firmly believe that everyone has something unique to offer, and exchanging life stories is, for me, a way to create authentic and meaningful connections.

    I am also deeply in love with nature and animals. I feel a special connection with them, as if I can sense their energies and they can sense mine. Often, they approach me as if they recognize a natural, silent bond between us. My relationship with animals goes beyond simple affection; it extends to an energetic and spiritual connection that strengthens my harmony with the natural world.

    In addition to this, I have always had a great affinity with children. I love their spontaneity, purity, and curiosity about the world. Even though I am the youngest in my family, I have always wanted a younger brother or sister to take care of!

    I am highly motivated to embark on this travel experience to regain a sense of inner balance and reconnect with nature, which has always been a fundamental part of my life. After spending years in a big city for my studies, I realized how much I missed direct contact with nature and animals. This journey represents a valuable opportunity for me to return to the natural rhythms that feel deeply my own and to rediscover a more authentic connection with myself, leaving behind the stress of urban life.

    Another important aspect of this experience is the desire to expand my social and cultural horizons. I am excited about the idea of meeting people from different parts of the world, each with their own stories, traditions, and ways of life. I believe that every encounter can enrich my personal journey, offering new perspectives and fostering growth not only on an intellectual level but also emotionally and spiritually.

    When it comes to work, I consider myself very resilient and eager to learn new things. I am responsible, serious, always available, and precise, qualities I bring to everything I do. I am also always very excited to learn new tasks and skills!!

    More details about my language interests
    Italian is my native language. I speak and understand English very well, as I learned it in lessons and applied it during my many travels. Although I haven't spoken it for a while, I know French quite well, as I have studied it since elementary school, since I come from a bilingual region. Once refreshed, I can speak it well again.

  • More details about your skills

    Since I was 16, I have wanted to be financially independent so that I could buy the things I liked without having to ask my parents every time. Therefore, I worked for many seasons as a waitress in various hotels and restaurants.

    At 20, I moved to Milan to pursue my greatest passion: fashion. I graduated from a specialized institute for showroom managers and gained a lot of internship experience in showrooms, where I learned to work under pressure and manage long hours, always remaining available to my colleagues and customers.

    My main skills are at the human, communicative, and organizational levels. I can also perform more strenuous tasks without any issues. Finally, I would love to work closely with nature or with people.

    A few years ago, my family and I moved into a new house that we had to renovate. In that context, I was able to showcase my manual skills by helping my mother break down walls, cement, and paint. It was a very tiring experience, but at the same time, it was fun and satisfying.

  • What else ...

    I have a strong passion for card games and board games because I believe they help socialize and unite the group.
    I really enjoy listening to music of all genres; when I was younger, I played the saxophone, but unfortunately, I stopped studying it.

    Additionally, I was a dedicated athlete, competing in track and field as well as cross-country skiing at a competitive level. These experiences not only kept me fit but also taught me the importance of discipline and teamwork.
