Travel information

I am currently

Description

Hi! I’m Sofia, I’m 22 years old and I live on Lake Como, in the north of Italy.
Since I was a kid my parents took me in adventurous vacations, and that’s where my passion for travelling comes from.
I’m currently studying Literature at university and in the future I’d like to study Cultural Anthropology, a discipline about discovering different cultures, customs and traditions.
I consider myself an open-minded person, quite shy but dynamic and cheerful. I really enjoy spending time outdoor, hiking and skiing, looking for nice views, freeing my mind with yoga, playing the guitar, reading books, and practicing the art of calligraphy!
In between my studies I’d like to travel and escape the daily routine every now and then, that’s why I’ve joined Workaway. I think that this is a unique opportunity to exchange stories and experiences, meet new people, learn new languages, and for personal growth. Also, I’m trying to challenge myself and live according to a “carpe diem” philosophy, meaning to make the most of present opportunities.

Ps I have taken my vaccine for covid19.

More details about your skills

I’ve worked for two summers at the tourist office of my hometown; this experience gave me the chance to meet people coming from different countries on a daily basis, to practice my English and to learn to work in tourism, promoting the territory and organising activities.
For some weekends I helped at a mountain lodge with housekeeping and waitressing tasks.
Some volunteering experiences I made are: organising creative activities for kids in an art gallery, which, together with babysitting, gave me some expertise with kids; working with an agricultural cooperative, where I learnt some basis about gardening.
I really like animals and I’d love to help with them.
I’m always attracted when it comes to creativity, so I’d like to be involved in diy and creative projects.
If someone’s interested, I can teach Italian.
