Description
Hello everyone!
My name is Iacopo and I'm 31 years old.
I come from Pavia, a tiny and really beautiful city near Milan, in Italy.
I’ve always been very curious and since a young age I had a deep desire to explore our world and connect with people from diverse cultures.
I consider myself to be open-minded, sociable, and always eager to embrace new experiences.
I have a background in sales and partnership. I studied Entrepreneurship and Innovation at the King’s College of London and worked for a few startups in Spain (Papernest) and Italy (Doctolib). In my life I’ve always worked since I wanted to learn as much as I could and help my family. I’ve been a gardener, a bricklayer, a mover, a painter and a bouncer.
Workaway has always fascinated me because it combines the chance to travel with the desire to contribute and make a difference in people's lives. I believe that sharing our skills and collaborating can create deep and meaningful connections.
During my stay, I would be excited to offer my skills and assist you with any project where an extra hand is needed. My main goal is to fully immerse myself in your culture and community, learn your language, and discover local traditions.
I hope to create a meaningful experience both for myself and for other members of the host.
I am a responsible, flexible person, always ready to adapt to new situations. I enjoy working as part of a team, and I believe that open communication is key to a positive experience for everyone involved.
I hope to be welcomed into a warm and welcoming environment, but at the same time, I'm willing to challenge myself and take on new adventures.
Thank you for taking the time to read my presentation. I can't wait to embark on this journey and actively be part of your project.
If you have any further questions or would like to know more about me, please don't hesitate to contact me! I'm more than happy to provide any additional information.
See you soon!Interests
