Description

Hi! We are Alice and Ivan from Italy. We have been a couple for 7 years and a month after we met we were already traveling together 😊 as soon as possible we pick up and go .. backpacking, around the world.

Now we have decided to take a year by investing in ourselves and in the people we will meet.
We are ready to live a period of adventures and new meetings, working hard! We want to know and teach, give, help and take as much as possible.
We want to fill our eyes and our heart!

We are the typical opposites that attract themself: Ivan is a multipod person, with great manual skills, a big curiosity, and a strong problem solving. He likes new challenges and cannot never sit. He can work in the officine in the morning and then run to the vineyard in the afternoon, photoshopping a pic in the evening and devote himself to assembling and disassembling something in his free time, partecipate in events as a sommelier and then reparing a PC.

I, Alice, have less manual skills, but on the other hand I have a great ability to plan, organize, set goals and achieve them with determination. I have a Degree in Humanities Science and I have recently finished a Master to teach Italian to foreigners people.

My job has always been to welcome and accompany disadvantaged people during the trip of their life. After so many years in which I have dedicated myself to others, now I would like to be welcomed. I like so much new encounters. To get my hands dirty does not scared me.

The thing that link us togheter is the love for nature and for people .. the continuous desire to learn, and not to stop.

Help us to help you! :-)

More details about your skills

ALICE: I have been an educator for more than ten years. I have worked in a house for minors, in youth centers, with disabled people, in shelter for migrant women and children, victims of trafficking. Thanks to my studies and experience I have developed great educational and relational skills. I can manage a group of people, I have great mediation capacity and a spirit of adaptation. Over the years I have carried out various volunteer experiences. The most significant was the weeks of volunteering in confiscated assets from Mafias with young people and adolescents, carried out for 7 years in various places in southern Italy.

I have attended courses in Photography and Social Media Marketing. I have a Certification to teach Italian to foreigners. I think I'm a creative person and I certainly do things better if I share them.

IVAN: I have been a coachbuilder for more than ten years and for this reason I can do every manual work: with metals, wood and other materials. I can paint, rebuilt and do general and maintenance cleaning.
I have repaired motorcycles and cars since I was a teenager. Year after year I developed also a generic problem solving with the world of pc and smartphone.
I have an extensive computer knowledge: Office, Adobe, Network configuration. I like very much Photografy post production and I can make videoclip and drone footage.

During last three years Wine has become my passion: I have a Certification as a Sommelier and I help my friend in a Winery agency. The agriculture and hospitality are the areas where I want to grow up.

We are both a very open-minded and social couple and we wish to meet a lot of new people with interesting ideas, beliefs and backgrounds.
