Description

Eleonora:
Hi! My name is Eleonora and I'm 23 years old. I graduated in modern languages at the university of Turin in 2022, where I studied French, English and German.
I come from a small village near Turin, in northern Italy, but since October 2023 I've been living in Padua, a city near Venice where I study sustainable and cultural tourism.
I love traveling and especially spending time "en plein air". I also love dogs, I have two of them: Chérie and Charlie. I am a reserved, but also very friendly and outgoing person. As a language learner I love putting myself out there by making new experiences and getting to know different cultures and traditions. Being with my affections, traveling and breathing the sea air bring me happiness.
I've played volleyball for 8 years and I love sports in general. I also love hiking, music and board game nights.

Sofia:
Hello! My name is Sofia and I'm 23 years old. Last March I graduated in natural sciences at the university of Turin.
I come from a small village near Turin, in northern Italy, and in October I will move in the city of Genoa, near the seaside, to study marine biology; infact I really love nature in all of its forms, especially as regards plants and the marine environment.
Like Eleonora, I love travelling, hiking, water sports and I'm also really fascinated by art in general, like painting, drawing, writing and dancing.
I'm friendly and easygoing and I love making new experiences.

More details about my language interests
We're really into them. Eleonora: I love learning and speaking foreign languages. In 2021 I passed the C1 certificate in French, and I'm thinking to sit the English Advanced Certificate too. Besides, I also love to help other students with languages. Sofia: in high school I studied English, French and German and I passed the B2 French certificate and the B2 English certificate. I would love to improve these languages and learning others. I would also love to teach my native language, which is Italian, and help other people with English and French.
