Activities i am interested in:

I can’t wait to leave my chaotic city (Rome) and go back to a life in touch with nature, where I can do manual and/or artistic work again, things I’ve had to neglect for too long.

Description

Hi! I'm Sabrina :)

30 years old, originally from Northern Italy. I’ve been living and working in Rome for the past ten years, in the film industry. I’m a screenwriter and producer, and I run my own small production company together with my partner and some of my best friends. We make fiction films and documentaries.

Even though my job is mostly computer-based, I’ve always loved working with my hands. Some of my hobbies: gardening, painting, watercolor, DIY, woodworking, drawing, sewing and crochet. In general, I enjoy being outdoors and doing manual activities or stay indoor and doing artistic work.
I always say that my favorite things are books, cats and trees.

Since my company is small, I also handle administrative work, and this drains all my energy. I often have to set aside my creative work for many days, and it’s very exhausting.

I'm good with my hands and enjoy practical work, but I haven’t practiced in a while. I grew up in the countryside, always helping out around the house and garden, watching my dad (a builder) work on all kinds of construction tasks. I haven’t had many chances to use those skills recently, and I miss it. I’d really appreciate some guidance and the chance to refresh my skills. I truly can’t wait to put my body and hands to work again, reconnect with nature, meeting new people.

I consider myself:
– Curious but respectful, and discreet. I'm quiet when needed and I'm mindful of the environment and the people around me. Other people's privacy is a priority for me, just as much as my own.
– Creative and good at execution. At home I’ve painted trees on my walls, and I’m full of creative ideas, but I have deep respect for other people’s homes, and I prefer to follow instructions rather than take the lead.
– Not picky at all. I’m happy to sleep on the floor or skip a meal if needed. Also I’m not afraid be adaptable to uncomfortable situations.
– Independent but social. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories, but by nature I enjoy solitude, so I may need some space from time to time. I’m perfectly fine being alone and taking care of a home on my own.
– A bit mentally tired for my life in Rome but meditation helps me a lot and I’m finally finding balance again through nature and physical or artistic activity.
– Cooking isn’t my biggest passion. But I’m Italian, I can cook pretty much anything! But if possible, I’d prefer to focus on other tasks.
– Flexitarian: I prefer vegetarian or vegan food, but I eat meat and fish occasionally, especially when I travel and I want to try something local. I have no allergies and if the family hosting me isn’t vegetarian, I simply eat what they eat, just like when I visit my parents.

Other things about me: for personal comfort, I prefer not to share spaces with straight male hosts older than me and I prefer not to be responsible for childcare or babysitting but I did it in the past and I can do it if it's necessary.
I'm not super good at english (B2), but I can usually make myself understood.
I have a deep respect for the environment, I care about recycling and sustainable living. Above all, I feel a strong and spiritual connection to the nature world and its habitants and I love slow living.

I believe that sharing my time with people from places far from my home is the best way to remind myself that I am human - not better or worse than anyone else - and that the purpose of this life is to open our minds, do our best to love and care, and learn what we do not yet know so that we no longer take anything for granted.

IMPORTANT! Since I have a flexible job, I can generally travel whenever I want, but at the same time my schedule depends on my work commitments. For this reason, I only get in touch once I find a good flight for me. If the reply takes too long, I may need to reschedule.

More details about my language interests
I've recently discovered a strong passion for languages — something I regret not exploring during my teenage years, as I was so focused on my career. As a result, I now have a more-than-decent level of English (I understand almost everything), but due to a lack of practice, my speaking skills are around B1–B2. I started learning French because some of my friends are French, and I discovered that I learn quickly and really enjoy throwing myself into speaking. I’d love to learn Swedish. Thanks to my strong language skills in my native language, Italian, I’m good at teaching it using a simple and intuitive method. I love linguistics and grammar, and I’d love to do language exchanges with someone (in English, Swedish, French, or any other language). I can't wait to learn more.
