Description

Hello there! I can’t wait to meet you!
I’m very eager to grow as a person by learning everything the people I meet can teach me.
I believe every single person has so much to share and teach not only in terms of skills but especially in regards to unique human and life experience!

For as long as I can remember, I have always had a longing for exploring the world in all it’s nuances, for living the local culture and getting to know real people by sharing their unique ways of life.
I think Workawaying is the perfect opportunity to experience some of these things during my gap year, before returning to Rome in Italy to study for my Modern Literature degree.
I’m young and free spirited, curious and motivated. My core values are kindness and empathy and I pride myself to be a very calm, gentle and focused person.
I hope to be the type of person you’re looking for and look forward to meeting you!

More details about your skills

I’m bilingual Italian/English having grown up in a multicultural family.
I’d love to teach you either of these languages (even from scratch!), or help you practice them in everyday life.
I’d love to share the beautiful italian culture with you, by cooking traditional meals for everyone and sharing curiosities about our literature and artistic history.

As written above I love cooking and often do so for my friends and family so id enjoy preparing food for you and especially I’d appreciate learning local recipes as well as your families favorites.
I have fun decorating birthday cakes and have also followed a course on it so it might come in handy if you’re planning some kind of party or event during my stay!

I’m very creative and enjoy doing arts and crafts in my free time for example: macrame, decoupage, making jewelry. More in general i love finding creative solutions to household problems and working on “hands on” projects.

In september/october I will be working on a flower (Dahlia) farm in the Netherlands where i'll expand my knowledge on gardening and and farming.


I studied at a scientific highschool but am much more intrested in humanities studies.
I worked for three seasons with children aged five to twelve in an english language summer camp and loved the atmosphere and working with the kids!
I worked as a dog-sitter and dog-walker for almost two years and really love being around animals (I live with four cats at home!)

Age

20

What else ...

i love reading (especially Hesse and Dostoevskij) and having deep philosophical conversations about anything and everything. I’d love to share travelling stories and listen to life advice. I also love listening to jazz and sixties music and would like to improve my photography skills.

I’d very much appreciate being considered “part of the family” and making memories together.
