  • Description

    Hi! I’m from Rome and recently turned 55.
    I left Italy with a backpack when I was 20 and spent eight amazing years traveling and settled in Southeast Asia—six of those years I was based in Bali. I fell in love with the culture, took courses in dance, music, and wood carving, and made a living exporting beautiful local crafts, clothes, and jewellery around the world.

    In the late 90s I moved back to Europe for a bit, living between France and Italy, before settling in Copenhagen in 2000 with my daughter.

    What drives me most is being part of something bigger—sharing, creating, and contributing to the community. I care about the environment, respect for all living beings, and building healthy, kind relationships.

    I like to stay active and hands-on: cooking, gardening, looking after animals, fixing things, or just helping where needed. I’m also good with organizing, logistics, and paperwork when that’s what’s called for. Depending on the moment, I can bring energy and action—or calm and quiet.

    I’m curious, open, and always happy to learn or share what I know. And sometimes, I just enjoy slowing down and soaking up nature.

  • More details about your skills

    I bring with me a wide range of life experiences, practical skills, and personal qualities. I enjoy organizing, simplifying, and making things run smoothly, always prioritizing quality over quantity. I can be both a motivator and a steady worker, depending on what’s needed.

    Cooking is one of my passions. I love preparing healthy, tasty food inspired by both European and Asian traditions. I can adapt to different needs—vegetarian, vegan, intolerance-free, or just creative dishes made with what’s available.

    Land and animals also have a special place in my life. From weeding and harvesting to general gardening and animal care, I enjoy working close to nature. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, chickens, goats, sheep, and even a donkey—and I’d love to learn more about horses and other larger animals.

    I’m naturally organized and comfortable coordinating both practical tasks and people. Whether it’s office work, logistics, kitchen management, or guiding groups, I can see the big picture while paying attention to details.

    I’m communicative and multilingual, fluent in three languages and conversational in two more, including French. I also have many years of experience in social and health assistance, with a solid understanding of age-related needs and strong training in hygiene standards—both from the health sector and from professional cooking.

    I have worked with children in nurseries, caring for them and preparing meals, and I’ve also dedicated many years to body–mind–spirit health. My training includes:

    Life Coaching – helping people regain clarity and direction

    Ayurvedic Counselling – improving sleep and quality of life with holistic methods

    Circling Facilitator – a mindfulness-based group practice I call “the yoga of relation,” deepening connection with oneself and others


    On a more personal side, I love natural living. I make my own deodorants, body oils, and enjoy aromatherapy. I’ve also produced jams, dried herbs, and preserves—some for sale in the past, but now mainly for pleasure, using local and seasonal products I often collect myself.

    At heart, I care deeply for people and for shared spaces. Whatever I do, I like to leave things clean, welcoming, and ready for the next person.

    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, losing myself in concerts, and letting rhythm carry me. When inspiration arrives, I paint. And always, I return to the garden and to nature—where beauty unfolds in silence, and I can simply be.
