Travel information

I am currently

Description

I am an Italian, 23 year old, student of Philosophy who just finished his Bachelor. I come from a small village in Sicily and I have always wanted to go around the world and know as many cultures as possible! For this reason I want to conduct my Master abroad, possibly in Utrecht.
The workaway experience that I hope to have this summer therefore both serves me to familiarize with the environment and to search for a house, but I expect to be using this platform much more in the future to fulfill my need for adventure and my curiosity!

More details about my language interests
I am really good with languages as I got both of my certifications in English (C1) and German (B1) in one year. And of course I can speak Italian as that is my mother tongue! Having had many years of experience learning, I am also really good at teaching and I am more than willing to share my knowledge with other people! Right now I am trying to learn Portugese (my girlfriend is from Brasil) and Dutch, since this should be the language of the country where I will live for the next two years of my studies.

More details about your skills

Most of my life I have been studying all sort of different stuff (mainly philosophy, but also maths, logic, biology and literature), but most notably I am really good with languages as I got a C1 in English and a B1 in German and I am now learning a Portugese and Dutch!
And of course all I can learn, I am also very good at teaching!
I also have many different practical skills: I have been helping my parents in gardening and construction works since I was a kid, I have been a waiter in a catering for over a year and I am really good at cooking, expecially Italian risotto!
I am a very energetic and curious person, therefore I could say that my greatest ability is that I am a fast and very good learner!
