  • Description

    I was born and raised in Rome, but at twenty, I set off with just a backpack and spent eight incredible years traveling for the most in Asia. Six of those years were in Bali, where I immersed myself in the local culture—studying dance, music, and wood carving, and building a life exporting beautiful crafts, clothing, and jewelry globally.

    In the late 90s, I returned to Europe for a while, splitting my time between France and Italy, before finally settling in Copenhagen in 2000 with my daughter.

    In recent years, on the search for a community, big family, tribe I have been working-away (and woofing) in France, Spain and Italy. I find meaningful to be part of something bigger like sharing, creating, and contributing to the community and now that I've got a little country house myself, I'm creating the base for that meaningful type of life.
    I’m passionate about the environment, kindness toward all living beings, and fostering healthy, meaningful relationships.

    I love staying active and hands-on: cooking, gardening, caring for animals, fixing things, or simply helping wherever I can. I’m also skilled at organizing, logistics, and paperwork when needed. Depending on the moment, I can bring energy and action—or a sense of calm and quiet.
    I’m naturally curious, open to learning, and always happy to share what I know. And sometimes, I just enjoy slowing down to soak in the beauty of nature.

  • More details about your skills

    I’ve gathered a variety of life experiences, practical skills, and personal qualities along the way. I enjoy organizing, simplifying, and helping things run smoothly, with focus on quality rather than quantity.

    I take pleasure in preparing healthy, tasty meals inspired by both European and Asian traditions. I’ve learned to adapt to different dietary needs—whether vegetarian, vegan, or intolerance-free—and I enjoy getting creative with whatever ingredients are available.
    For years, I’ve explored the connection between food and healing, learning how to tailor diets to support individual health needs—whether that means choosing foods to nourish and restore or avoiding those that might cause imbalance.

    I have a strong connection to nature and animals since I was a kid. I've had the privilege to spent lots of time in nature and with animals.

    My working away experiences:
    I’ve helped with weeding, harvesting, and gardening, building, cleaning, cooking, painting, and I’ve had the chance to care for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, sheep, and even a donkey.
    I’d love to learn more about horses and other larger animals in the future.

    I tend to be organized by nature, and I’ve found myself coordinating tasks and people in different settings—whether in offices, kitchens, or group activities. I try to keep an eye on the bigger picture while paying attention to the details that matter.
    I’m happy to step in as a motivator when needed, but I’m just as comfortable working steadily behind the scenes and give support.

    I’m fluent in three languages and conversational in two others, including French.

    Over the years, I’ve also gained experience in social and health assistance, which has given me a solid understanding of age-related needs and the importance of hygiene standards, both in health care and cooking.

    I’ve also spent several years exploring holistic health practices, have studied, I am a certified and occasionally I contribute as:

    Life Coaching: Supporting people in finding clarity and direction.

    Ayurvedic Counselling: Offering simple, holistic methods to improve sleep and quality of life.

    Circling Facilitator: Guiding mindfulness-based group practices to help people to get better at communicate, and to connect more deeply with themselves and others.

    On a personal note, I enjoy natural living. I walk in the forest and pick mushrooms as well as herbs and wild fruits. On the seaside I walk and find inspiration, stones and shells. I like exploring new horizons whether is in music, ideas, different science matters, food, people ..
    I make my own deodorants, body oils, and aromatherapy blends.
    I try to be a small consumer of Earth's resources, I recycle, I do my best in the environment I find myself in.

  • Age

    57

  • What else ...

    Yoga and meditation are practices I’d like to welcome back into my life more fully. For now, I touch them lightly, knowing they could become a deeper, steadier presence. I love to move—through dance, 5Rhythms, or the playful flow of contact improvisation.
    Though I’m not a musician, I feel music in me; I enjoy joining jam sessions, improvise with voice and rhythm, losing myself in concerts, and letting rhythm carry me. When inspiration and arrives, and I have plenty of time for my self, I paint or create other small things. And always, I return to the garden and to nature—where beauty unfolds in silence, and I can simply be.
