  • Description

    I was born in a little town close to the Ligurian Riviera 37 years ago.

    During my childhood I was bullied at school- to prevent me from social isolation, my parents drove me almost every weekend to my uncle's small farm.

    My uncle was a wise old man who listened to my needs, and made me laugh a lot.
    His stray dogs, rabbits and turtles became my best friends.
    After a few months other kids were invited to play with us and the quality of my relationship improved a lot.

    Uncle died when I was 17, the farm has been quickly sold and I lost the opportunity to visit it again-this literally broke my heart.

    After graduating, I worked abroad and started traveling during my free time in search of new true connections to humans/nature/animals.

    Living abroad made me experience how important it is to take the risk and be ourself - many people from various backgrounds helped me shape a very open minded personality and re-evaluate the impact of bad life experiences.

    The more positive energy, gratitude and creativity I put out, the more I get back in return- even if I can´t take the past back, I want to make a good use of my uncle’s teaching and share my own path with as many new friends as possible :) :) :)

  • More details about your skills

    My personal motto is: "if you want to make the world a better place, take a look at yourself and make a change"
    I am very open-minded and enjoy being with others.
    My social skills are so good that my colleagues and friends define me as happy-go-lucky sunshine because my funny jokes are an amazing social “ice breaker” :-)
    Helping my uncle in the farm improved my love for animals.
    The love I feel for them helps me to keep on learning how to be a good pet owner in the future.
    I am responsible, I care for other’s needs and I´m good and confident in scheduling.
    Living in Germany for seven years has tought me to understand and respect different cultures and has improved not only my language skills but also my empathy.
    I am a trustworthy person and I´m not afraid of physical activity (I always walk to go to the office and I go to a fitness center to keep myself both health and good mood).
    I can’t imagine anything more amazing than spending time with animals and in true contact with nature.
