Description
Hi everyone!
I'm Matilde, I'm 23yo and I come from Italy, I consider myself as a very energetic and creative person. I'm currently studying Modern, comparative and postcolonial literatures at University of Bologna.
I made this profile because I enjoy very much this way of traveling, I love to explore more about other cultures and countries through a real connection with people. I had my first workaway experiences last summer and I couldn't have been happier, I have beautiful memories of the people I met, I was happy to help around and deeply grateful for being part of my hosts' life for a while.
I did a bunch of different things: from gardening, weeding, to deepcleaning, cooking, painting, and so on. I always appreciate developing new skills, I'm a quick lerner who loves new challenges and I'm always keen to improve. I am always looking for new hobbies and I love crafting things: I can crochet, I can do pottery, sometimes I paint or I make collages.
I'm independent and self-sufficient, I am a good cook (at least that's what they say), I can clean up after myself, I love put myself out of my comfort zone and being helpful to others! I take with responsibillity each task and I always try my best.
I love animals and I enjoy taking care of them. I also have experience in babysitting and it always brings me so much joy taking part of funny activities with children!
I really love talking long walks in nature and I would never be able to choose between mountains and the seaside, I love them both. I'm always up for a chat and boardgames, I enjoy very much sharing these kind of moments.
I've lived abroad on my own twice, in Scotland and Germany, therefore I'm adaptable to any situation and I can speak in English fluently, I have a descrete knowledge of German as well (I really need to get better at it ughhhh). I would also love to help anyone with learning italian or english, if you wish!
I can't wait to start a new adventure and meet you all!!

they say I'm a great cook :) I can take care of children, look after animals, paint, do any creative activities, I am also quite strong for manual labour and I can lift weights. I did deep cleaning of all sorts and reorganization of space as well.
I'm also experienced with gardening, weeding, planting, eradicate old plants and so on.
I've also thought Italian and English so I can help with languages too.
I'm always up to learn new skills!Age

What else ...
I consider myself as a very open person, always ready for new challenges and meeting new people. I am currently trying to swhich my diet to vegetarian but I'm still very flexible. Every now and then I find myself new hobbies: last year I started crocheting and I enjoy it very much, it makes me very calm and lets me express my creativity. I've recently started muay thai and I love the confidence and discipline that it's teaching me. I love reading and learning about new stuff, I keep buying new books but they're way too many haha
