Description

Hi there! I am Francesca from Italy.
I am adventurous, curious and calm. I believe in living life to the fullest through meaningful experiences and embracing gratitude for every moment. I find joy in connecting with others, being in nature, exploring underwater habitats, practicing yoga, painting, and constantly learning new things.
At this point in my life, I am particularly interested in discovering new ways of living that differ from the European model. My goal is to share my experiences with others and learn from theirs. I'm eager to understand different lifestyles, beyond my own upbringing, and I'm interested in everything from fostering connectedness and living peacefully with nature to engaging in hard work.
Additionally, I am passionate about contributing to environmental projects, as there is nothing more precious than the world we live in. I love the sea and am especially excited to contribute to projects that focus on protecting marine ecosystems. Over the past few years, I have become increasingly fascinated by this wonderful world. Although I do not have a specialization in this field, I am eager to learn as much as possible and to make a positive impact.
I am adaptable, hardworking, and ready to immerse myself in new experiences. I am confident that my skills and enthusiasm will make a positive contribution to any volunteer project. I look forward to the opportunity to learn, grow, and help make a difference.

More details about your skills

1) Academic Backgroung
- Degree in New Tecnologie for Arts (Venice)
- Degree in Optics and Optometry (Milan)
The two specializations I have obtained synthesize two complementary parts of my character. The degree in New Technologies for the Arts represents my desire to create and tell stories, expressing my creativity through innovative and artistic means. On the other hand, the degree in Optics and Optometry reflects my wish to be useful to others, providing assistance and improving people's quality of life through vision care. Although these specific skills may not seem directly related to the projects I undertake, they have given me a versatile and adaptable mindset. This mental approach allows me to apply the knowledge acquired in any area of life, tackling new challenges with creativity, empathy, and strong problem-solving abilities.
