Description

Hi dear reader!

My name is Caterina, I'm 34 years old and I'm from Italy. During the year I am an elementary school teacher and during summer time a tireless traveler: I love my job as much as I love discovering new cultures! In particular, I am fascinated by the American culture and I dream of having an experience in the US.

In my free time I love taking long walks into the nature, reading books, but above all cooking sweets and desserts. Obviously, as a good Italian, it will be a pleasure to cook some Italian delicacies for you!

I consider myself as a curious introvert human being: I may seem shy at first, but I am a very sunny person and a great company. Also, my English level is basic, but I am very determined to learn and overcome this obstacle and teach some Italian

I worked at the ice cream shop and the candy and jewelry store from December to March, and I can say it was a great experience! Personally, I really enjoyed it; I had the chance to learn new skills, and Neil and Mary were very accommodating when I asked to be excused from certain tasks due to back problems. Work during the summer season is hectic … read more

It was delightful to host Caterina in my home. She is a thoughtful, interesting , well organised and energetic young woman who worked independently. I enjoyed her creativity, humour, cakes and tiramisu! My best wishes go with her .
