Description
Hello, my name is Lavinia, and I’m a 23-year-old Italian student from Florence. I’m currently studying languages and literature at the University of Florence, focusing on English and Japanese. I have a strong passion for discovering new cultures and travelling the world.
I’ve had the opportunity to travel to different parts of Europe thanks to the support of my family, and I love immersing myself in diverse cultures. I hope to build authentic connections with local people and learn practical new skills while exploring alternative lifestyles.
I consider myself a kind and reliable person. In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano as a hobby. I absolutely love spending time with children and experimenting in the kitchen by cooking new dishes every day, especially desserts. I also enjoy being in close contact with nature and consider myself a very creative person—I love painting! I’m always enthusiastic about learning new things and adapt easily to new environments.
I would like to take part in this experience because I am eager to improve my English skills to support my university studies and enhance my academic journey.
