Description
Hi, we are Guendalina and Lorenzo, an engaged couple from Monza and Turin, who want to have an unforgettable experience.
We love to travel, discover new places and meet people who, like us, are ready to discover new cultures.
We are two Italian people aged 23 and 24 and we recently graduated in the field of communication.
We love being in contact with nature and animals.
We are curious to taste typical dishes and introduce people to Italian cuisine.
We like to learn new languages and teach our own to better connect with new cultures.
We would like to visit Japan because we are attracted by the culture, which is completely different from ours, but also by the natural landscapes, the language and the hospitality of the local people.
Our idea is to explore the country by leaning on local families in order to better understand the Japanese way of life.

More details about your skills
Guendalina's skills: having an experience in Japan has always been my dream, so I majored in intercultural communication at the University of Milan Bicocca and studied Japanese language for 3 years, also I wrote my thesis on clothing and hats in Japan of the Meiji period.
I speak English and Spanish well and have also studied German.
I worked for about two years as a babysitter with two little girls, ages 4 and 9, with whom I have a wonderful relationship.
I often help my parents run the family hat store.
I love crafts and creativity, I help my grandmother with cooking and tending the garden, and in my spare time I like to make crochet creations.
I have always had animals, which I love to take care of.
Lorenzo's skills: I studied in the field of communication and was able to put my knowledge into practice through an internship with a publishing house in Turin.
I love meeting new people especially of different ethnicities to compare our cultural habits.
Since I met Guendalina I have also become interested in Japanese culture and am currently trying to learn Japanese as well as Spanish.
During my high school years I went on three study vacations to England where I was able to strengthen my English language skills.
I am passionate about music, in fact I took a violin class for 5 years, I can play guitar and also a little bit of piano. I studied singing for one year and solfege for two years.
I love animals and enjoy taking care of them.
I like being in contact with nature and exploring new places.
Among other experiences I have been babysitting 3 children.
