Description

HI! My name is Matilde, I am 22 years old and I live in Italy. I just graduated in international development and cooperation (political science). I am a very curious and open person, I like interacting with people of different cultures, I love tasting typical foods and having new experiences.

I speak:
-Italian: fluent
-english: fluent
-french: fluent
-spanish: intermediate

I have experiences in:
-gardening
-take care horses and other Animals
-waiter

I have knowledges in:
-cooking italian food
-building kitchens, tables, benches, through recycled materials, poles and bindings
-know a variety of games and boy scout games to do around of campfire and songs

In my free time I like:
- play a variety of games, team games, tennis, pool game, chess
- dancing (in particular Salsa).

Also about me:
-When I was child I lived for many years in Africa with my parents because they worked for social and agricultural projects (Burkina Faso, Central African Republic, Morocco, Malawi, Tanzania), and I also traveled in many countries in Europe for tourism and in Chile for internship.
-In the last year I lived alone in Lille (France) with the ERASMUS project for a whole year. This experience has made me much more autonomous, more enterprising, more open and confident.
-I have been a boy scout, and this experience also trained me to live independently in remote and mountainous environments with a tent, cook, go on long hikes for several days, and yes even wash myself in freezing rivers. Thanks to my experience in Africa and as a boy scout, I realized that I adapt much more easily to the places I travel to than many other people, and I have always got along very well even with very different cultures.

Hi everybody! This is Mary, a 22 year old Italian girl, very energetic and curious! I live in the North of Italy, in the middle of Dolomites, that's why I usually hike and climb a lot and sleep in bivouacs in very harsh conditions
I can speak fluently English and French and German too, but it's a long time that I don't practice it
After graduating this summer, I joined different volunteering projects in which I worked as youth worker in Turkey and Finland and now i can speak a little bit of Turkish and Finnish.
I don't mind doing "hard" works, I grown up in a farmers family so I'm quite used to animal things, I worked in a horse club, cleaning and feeding horses
According other job experiences, I worked for 3 years as a barmaid and as an animator and chef assistant in summers
I'm not picky at all, I just want to live experiences as much as I can and living with a lot of people, I really like to be surrounded by a lot of people
Interesting things about me: I love dancing, singing and painting and I read TAROTS
