Hi everyone! I’m Simone, a 23-year-old Computer Engineering student from Italy with a strong passion for history, art, cinema, and literature. While I value my academic background, my real drive when traveling is to connect with people, discover local heritage, and share authentic daily life. In Italy, I work teaching basic digital skills and conversational Italian to young refugees, using interactive methods to build practical autonomy and support local integration, while also serving as Culture Coordinator for ESN Pisa, where I organize cultural activities, museum visits, and walking tours for international exchange students.

Over the past few years, I have gathered solid experience in hospitality, community support, and cultural exchange across diverse environments. Through Workaway, I worked in hostel front-desk and guest reception in Boston, assisted in a language center in Seoul, supported daily activities at a Montessori kindergarten while living with a host family in Hanoi, and assisted a host family in New York with home care, space organization, and preparing a property for the market. As an Erasmus+ certified youth worker, I took part in European mobility projects in Germany (building resilience and conflict transformation tools) and Romania (exploring non-formal education, human rights, and intercultural dialogue). On top of that, my Couchsurfing experiences in London, Bucharest and Zagreb reinforced my ability to adapt smoothly and be a considerate, easygoing guest in any home.

Around a project, I bring a calm, cheerful, and responsible presence. I thrive in roles centered on welcoming guests, coordinating social activities, language tutoring (Italian/English), or managing light administrative and digital tasks. Past hosts have highlighted my reliability, proactive communication, and high respect for shared and private living spaces, which I always keep clean and tidy.

I look for balanced exchanges with manageable routines that allow ample free time for reading, exploring museums and historical landmarks, or discovering local gems. Whether it’s cooking a fresh Italian dinner for the household, sharing book, film, videogame recommendations, or helping guests feel welcome from day one, I look forward to contributing to your project.

More details about my language interests
As a native Italian speaker fluent in English, I enjoy helping others learn and practice through natural conversation. I’m equally keen to learn: I love picking up the basics of the local language wherever I travel and am always excited about mutual language exchange, whether it's through simple daily phrases, books, or cinema

What else ...

I can readily assist with tech-related tasks, computer troubleshooting, and practical digital literacy. My teaching experience spans both educational activities with children and my current work teaching digital skills and conversational Italian to young refugees, which has given me great patience, adaptability, and clear communication. Fluent in Italian and English, I enjoy helping others practice through relaxed daily conversation while picking up the basics of new languages myself, and I always appreciate connecting over good books, movies, and shared perspectives.
