Description
Hello :-)
My name is Naja Olesen Ciarrocchi, I'm 28 years old and I come from Denmark - though I'm half Italian. I'm currently studying psychology and doing my master - so (hopefully) I'll be a psychologist this december (2023).
I like to see my self as an happy, positive, present, authentic, warm person (that was a lot of sweet words about my self haha;-) ). I think I have an eye for seeing other people and making them (and my self) feel comfortable. I enjoy fun and deep conversations, making and enjoying good food together with people, experiencing cultures, being in nature, selfcare like doing yoga, running, swimming in the ocean, listing to music - I would say that I enjoy life in general a lot:-)

More details about your skills
I'm almost a psychologist which I think has giving me knowledge and even more interest in people and meeting people with understanding and empathy. I also work as a therapist and have "talk therapy" with young teenagers and adults - also with people how have different diagnoses like ADHD, autism, personality disorders, depression, PTSDP and more.

Language: I'm fluent in Danish and English - so would like to help any Italian family with their english skills! I also understand Norwegian and Swedish. I understand and speak a little German. I'm half Italian so I understand and speak a little bit Italian as well - but I would like to be better and become fluent!

Left by host (Family is looking for some ...) for Workawayer (Naja)

It won't be easy at all to find another workawayer who is good, kind, smiling and polite like Naja. When we met her the sun came into our house. Naja always helped us with a smile on her face, she supported us in every way without ever complaining about anything. If we have been so available, it's only because she deserved it. When she wants to… read more

Left by Workawayer (Naja) for host (Family is looking for some ...)

I highly, highly recommend having a Workaway experience at Emanuela's sweet family! I stayed in Palermo with the family Manu, Franci and Pachi for two beautiful and memorable months. From the very frist day the family showed a very welcoming, relaxed and trustful attitude towards me, which made me feel calm and comfortable - even tough it was my… read more very first Workaway experience. The family always helped me if I needed anything and I truly felt taken care of during my whole stay.

About the "work":
The first days the family let me just have free time to adapt to their home and the city and they didn't expect me to start helping straight away - and then the "work" was slowly and easily introduced. When I arrived to the family Franci had just started a higher schoolgrade, which included a lot more homework in his free time. Therefore my time with Franci was limited - but he is a very special, sweet and happy kid with a caring and open soul and I enjoyed spending time with him when he wasn't busy with homework, basketball or friends. My tasks mostly consisted of help with keeping the home clean - vacuuming, dust off, making the bed, cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms, folding laundry. I remember that I read from another workaway'er that you are given an exceptional lot of free time - I can now confirm that is true! I often only helped for two-three hours or less during the weekdays and had a lot of independence and flexibility to schedule the tasks to make it fit with my other plans - and still Manu was always caring and thankful for my help.

Their home is just around 15 min. walk to all the central areas in the city - so it's really easy to experience the city both at day and night. I felt lucky that I could always borrow Manu's bike if I wanted - which was a really easy and cool way to get around the city. Palermo is one of my absolut favorit cities in the world - the atmosphere, streets, buildings, markeds, people, food is all magical. I can really recommend just going around and experience the city and its vibe and you'll meet open, sweet and interesting people all over.

I feel truly blessed to have stayed with Manu's family as they are a true dream workaway host! I look forward to visit them again in the future and have invited them to come and visit my home country.
You are welcome to contact me for any other questions, I'm more than willing to help!
