Description

Hello!

I come from a family of travelers who taught me the value of wandering the globe from a young age. Currently, while my parents are living in Africa, I am based in Tokyo, where I am pursuing a Double Degree Master’s in Computer Engineering.

While I am an engineer by training, I think I skipped the class on "how to be an introvert". If you are expecting a shy tech guy hiding behind a screen, that is definitely not me! I am a massive extrovert who loves meeting new people and I’m much happier chatting with a stranger than staring at a line of code. This is why I am taking advantage of my university break to finally explore Vietnam, a country I have read so much about and dreamed of visiting for a long time.

I consider myself highly adaptable; I have traveled to challenging environments before and actually feel most at ease when I am stepping out of my comfort zone. Because of my background, I can offer strong technical skills in IT and engineering to help your project, but I am equally happy getting my hands dirty with manual work, teaching, or simply connecting with guests and locals.

I have always loved documenting my life. I kept a private diary for years, but recently I decided to start sharing my journey publicly through my blog. I am also passionate about photography, so I am always looking for the next great shot to capture the essence of the places I visit.

I was born in Italy to a German mother, so I have grown up with a multicultural mindset. I also speak fluent English and I am currently navigating the challenge of learning Japanese. I am looking for an experience that allows me to give back, learn, and grow, and I am ready to bring my energy to your project!

More details about your skills

💻 General Tech Support & IT : As a Computer Engineering Master's student, technology is my second language. If it involves a computer, the internet, or software, I can likely help you with it. I am not just a coder; I am a problem solver.
I can help with Web and Digital Presence, troubleshooting any IT problem, help your Digital Organization or just General Advice.

📸 Content Creation & Blogging:
I run a personal blog and I am passionate about photography. I can help you create content for your Social Media or website. I am happy to photograph your property, tours, and guests to help showcase the unique atmosphere of your project.

🗣️ Social & Hospitality:
I am an extrovert. I am comfortable managing a reception, checking guests in, organizing social activities, or simply hanging out in the common area to keep the vibe high. I have previous travel experience, so I know what makes a guest feel at home.

🌍 Languages & Teaching
English & Italian: Fluent.
German: Conversational (IMother tongue heritage).

💪 Adaptability:
While I am a "tech guy," I am not afraid of getting my hands dirty. I am physically fit and happy to help with gardening, painting, moving furniture, or general maintenance. I learn very fast: show me how to do something once, and I will get it done.
