Description

About me:

I am a conference interpreter, medical and pharmaceutical translator based in Italy (Lake Garda).
I have clients in Italy and abroad, and I also work for a publishing house.
I work remotely as a simultaneous interpreter and translator. Sometimes I work on-site as a conference interpreter during congresses in northern Italy.
I have a homebase in Italy and I like to travel 2-3 times per year, especially to Asia.
I often work while traveling, and I love working in cafés.
I have been in Bali, Indonesia, last year, where I worked remotely for more than a month.
I've been in the Canary Island 7 times. I am completely in love with Lanzarote, La Graciosa, and La Gomera. I lived almost 1 year in Gran Canaria, staying at a finca and 3 months in Lanzarote. I also lived 3 months in Barcelona.
I am very creative and sociable person, and I am an introvert too.
I have been practicing vipassana meditation for 5 years in a buddhist centre in Italy and meditation is an important part of my life. I am very grateful that I discovered Vipassana meditation. In fact, it allowed me to evolve and transform emotionally and spiritually.
I love surfing and practicing Yoga. I surfed in Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and Bali.
I have been singing rock music for many years. I formed an all-female rock band many years ago: we played for several years making concerts i various italian cities.
I love writing and reading introspective novels like the ones by Virginia woolf and James Joyce.
I also studied theatre for four years, and I studied piano for five years when I was a child.
I love the ocean and everything related to agriculture and fishing.
I love nature and animals.

What I wish and how I could contribute:
I am a sensitive being, I'm reliable, motivated, and polite with other people. I am very accepting of other people's differences.
I'd love to learn new things about permaculture and aquaponics and I would like to volunteer in a house, ecovillage or spiritual community that focuses on different issues and that could make this planet a better place to live.
I'd love to meet other sensitive and creative people.

I can teach Italian, English, and Spanish. I also studied French for seven years, and just a bit of Portuguese! I can take care of kids or help them with their homework. I can also cook and take care of the house. I am a very responsible and caring person :)
I'm also concerned about environmental issues, recycling and not wasting water and food. My father is a fisherman and a creative guitar player and I like learning new things from him whenever I can.

Projects and collaborations - (ecology and sustainability)

I collaborated with the American organization Remineralize The Earth, based in Northampton, Massachusetts, and founded in 1995 by Joanna Campe.
I worked as a Science Writer and European Correspondent
The organization focuses on promoting the use of natural land and sea-based minerals to restore soils and forests and removing excess CO2 from the atmosphere
