Description
Hello wonderful people of Workaway! I'm 30yo Italian, and I want to take my chance to see the world! I found that when I'm travelling I'm much happier than when I'm at home. Travelling really does something to your head, in a totally positive way.
I've had my first workaway experience in summer 2016, and many trips since then. Now I'm looking for the next big adventure.
I'm a freelance writer and translator, and I live the digital nomad lifestyle for most of the year.
My favourite places to hang out are Greece and Spain (especially Canary Islands)
See you around!

More details about your skills
I speak fluent English and Italian, and I have experience teaching and translating these languages (I work as an Italian/English translator). I'm also learning Greek (B2 level for now).

I'm social, not afraid to talk to people and have fun. I've worked physically demanding jobs before, so it's not a problem to get my hands dirty.

My biggest passion is taking care of animals, I volunteer regularly at dog shelters at home and my first workaway experience was taking care of horses on the wonderful greek island of Skyros.

I've also workawayed many times in hostels and hotels and I really enjoyed it. I leart how to manage check-ins and check-outs and how to take care of the place and make sure the guests always feel welcome.

But most importantly, I'm a fast learner! I'm interested in literally every subject, I love talking and exchanging ideas (I graduated in philosophy, so maybe I like talking and exchanging ideas a bit too much), and for me the most important thing while travelling is meeting new people and getting to know the culture that hosts me, so I'm always open to new experiences!

I'm a freelancer and a digital nomad, so I'm looking for places with a good internet connection and enough free time to do my work as well as contributing to the local project.

Giulia was such an inspiration! I loved hosting her. Since she has some language skills in Greek she could really advocate for me when we were in the field trapping the cats.

Giulia arrived into my household when things were not tidy. Her sleeping quarters had previously been occupied by a man with no sense of smell. I was afraid she might quit… read more

I had a great time helping Luanne with her trap/neuter/release mission for the feral cats of Cyprus. Luanne is a very hard worker who is giving so much of her time and energy to help the cats and she is doing an amazing job.
She's very selfless and really gives her all to the mission of helping these animals and trying to ensure that they will… read more

I can't believe I'm so late in leaving a review!
I've spent three wonderful weeks in this little corner of paradise last July, and I had an amazing time. Sandy is a lovely host, super kind and accomodating with workawayer needs. Her place in Arni is just wonderful. I miss all the dogs (especially my babies Jasper and Spot, they'll be all grown up… read more

Giulia has been a great workawayer and valuable addition to our team! We felt very confident and secure with her managing our reception. :) She was always eager to help, even to change her plans on a special occasion when a change was necessary at the schedule, for which we are thankful to her. We felt her as part of our community from the… read more

I spent one and a half month in this wonderful hotel in the centre of Athens, and I had a great time. The place is amazing, with a familiar and relaxed athmosphere. The owner and the staff are great people, generous and accomodating with the workawayers. The job is not too hard, mainly consists of sitting in reception (8 hrs shift) doing check ins… read more

I had the best of times at this hostel! The hostel is in a great location very close to Bari's old city. David is the best host ever! He's super kind and organised and made me feel welcome from the first moment I got there. My tasks were sitting at reception, cleaning, making beds, preparing breakfast for the guests and spending time with the… read more

Giulia was such a great help in the hostel working mostlly at the reception but also house keeping and cleaning. She was positive and conscientious and worked with great enthusiasm. Not only did she carry out all tasks that were asked of her with a positive attitude but she was also proactive in finding other things to do to improve the hostel. I… read more

I spent a month in this wonderful hostel and I had the best experience ever! The hostel has a super nice atmosphere and it is in a perfect place, 5 minutes from the seaside and close to some beautiful mountains. The work wasn't hard (mainly cleaning, reception work, and just being around if the guests need anything) and I had a great time taking… read more

It was a really nice experience having Giulia at our hostel, she was very helpful and became easily part of the team. Easygoing and proactive attitude always with a smile, she was great doing all the hostel tasks and it was a pity that she did not stay with us for a longer period. We hope everything is going good with you and see you next time,… read more

I spent two weeks at this Hostel, and I had a great time! The place is absolutely stunning, on the shore of a loch and surrounded by mountains. Best place to go hiking/walking in nature.

I spent more than five weeks on the island in August and September 2016. Guys, it was amazing. I had the best workaway experience I could have asked for. The horses are lovely, I really fell in love with all of them. We even brought them on a trip to the beach, it was so much fun! The work is not too hard, mostly feeding and watering the horses,… read more
