Description

Hi! I’m a 22-year-old girl from Veneto, Italy. I recently graduated in Graphic Design in Venice, and I’m now looking for new experiences that can enrich my personal and professional growth.

I’m a curious, creative person who is always looking for new experiences and inspiration. I love exploring the world with an open mind because I believe that every experience can enrich creativity. I work as a graphic designer, but in my free time, I enjoy many artistic and manual activities: I draw, crochet, experiment with new recipes, and I love discovering the art and culture of the cities I visit.

I consider myself an empathetic and open-minded person. I’m vegan because I believe in respecting all living beings, and I deeply care about both environmental protection and social causes. I have volunteered with children in difficult situations, helping them learn the local language and providing a safe space during sensitive moments.

I’m highly adaptable and always eager to challenge myself. For me, Workaway is not just about traveling but also about cultural exchange: I want to learn new things, connect with people from different backgrounds, and improve my English.

I love nature, practice yoga, and I'm passionate about activities that help connect the body and mind. This will be my first time traveling alone, and I hope this experience will teach me a lot and create unforgettable memories!

If you think I’d be a good fit for your project, I’d love to meet you! 😊

More details about your skills

My education and work experiences have made me a creative, versatile, and adaptable person. I studied graphic design, a field that allows me to express my creativity through illustration, branding, and visual communication.
Besides design, I have seven years of experience in the hospitality and restaurant industry. I worked as a waitress and assistant pizza maker for two years, then as a waitress in a brewery for another two years, and for the past three years, I have been a barista. These roles have helped me develop strong organizational skills, problem-solving abilities, and stress management. I also train new colleagues, which has taught me the importance of patience, clear communication, and understanding others' challenges.
My practical skills don’t stop there: I love handcrafts, drawing, cooking, and everything that allows me to express creativity and work with my hands. I enjoy experimenting with different materials and techniques, creating handmade objects, and trying out new recipes.
I speak Italian (native speaker) and know some English, which I hope to improve through this experience. I would love to teach my native language while also learning new expressions and phrases from others.
I’m always eager to help in any way I can, whether it’s through practical tasks, teamwork, or simply sharing my skills with anyone interested in learning something new!
