Description

Hi, my name is Viola!
I'll try to be brief while I tell you about myself:

I'm a musician, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, I love to create and not only with music, I love to paint, crochet, macrame, sculpt and so many more things as well, so I'm very well versed for DIY projects.
I lllloooove to shoot videos (I can also fly a drone!), edit them and as a musician I have a lot of practice with social media managing and content creation of my own profiles and other brand's as well.

I've got many degrees, diplomas and all sorts of fancy papers for music (conservatory) and audio engineering, but also for languages!

I know 4 languages (Italian, English, Spanish and German), in Italy we have career oriented high schools and I picked the language high school path, so I've got a bit of work-experience both with teaching Italian to immigrants and with working as an hotel front-desk assistant.

I'm a very curious person, I love to learn anything and everything and my interests span from languages to astro-physics, to music, to motorsport and mechanical engineering, philosophy, psychology and spirituality, anything and everything really.

I've got a lot of experience with working in groups of people, with travelling and adapting to new cultures and to breaking the ice with strangers to share amazing experiences together, thanks to my 12 years of Scouts and thanks to the amount of travelling I've had the luck to do with my family.

Also thanks to Scouting, I'm very connected to nature, I love to care for it and explore it, I love animals (I grew up with 3 cats and a dog and can ride horses) and I'm very crafty, adaptable, independent when needed, but also good with team work.

I'm starting engineering university in September and until then I want to get to know the world better.

What else? I wasn't brief at all I'm afraid, I'd really love to be able to experience the world and maybe end up finding myself a little more, in the process.

Left by Workawayer () for host (Join me and my baby in our ...)

This was my first workaway experience and I would like to write this review for the first-time workawayers of the website.
I've been a scout for all of my childhood and I am used to travelling, but I was very nervous at the thought of being in a stranger's house, far away from home. This is to say that safety for me is most important and my trust … read more is not easily gained.
I felt safe with Nico.
We were welcomed into his life at a very difficult time for him, big life changes, a lot of pressure and he had to deal with unfriendly people and not kind behaviours from them, even so, in the 21 days I stayed with him, even if all of this was inevitably going on around us, he did a wonderful, amazing job at not letting it touch us at all.

I must specify, that we did not stay in the accommodation that is listed and that other volunteers before us stayed at, because a week before I got on my flight he had to leave the property and instead of cancelling on us last minute, he offered us to stay in his own home (which I really appreciated). Food was not included for us, but the hours were just 15 in exchange.

This experience was wonderful, the work load was precise (exactly the amount of hours we agreed on every week), light, but always changing depending on what he needed, so that's the "flexibility" he might ask of you. Main tasks for us had to do with BnB cleaning, dog sitting, house sitting, moving forniture and organising garden sales. I also helped a bit with social media and graphic skills.

He encouraged us to always ask for breaks when we needed, to communicate if a task was too hard for us or if we preferred doing something different instead. Anything we weren't comfortable with, he was always open to listen.
Communicating with Nico is very easy, he's very clear and welcomes you to be just as clear as he is.
He even allowed us to take our 2 days off to explore the island, on a day he had really urgent tasks to take care of and that was something I really appreciated.
Even when (as humans do) there were disagreements or moments of strong emotions on either side, he is the type of person to text back at the end of the day and open a kind dialogue to understand and excuse each other.

What else? Hufa is the kindest, quirkiest soul ever, it was a pleasure sharing a home with her, a very kind and loving black kitty might or might not pass by when you're there (if you see her, give her lots of love for me), the area we stayed at was wonderful, we had plenty of time off to enjoy the beach, we learned how to surf and Nico did give us pointers about it.
Nico is very excited about sharing any cool places or cool people he knows, so if you are kind I'm sure he'll take you to see many once-in-a-lifetime things and people. The island itself is nice, I'd advise you to talk with anyone you meet and truly keep an open mind, I feel that's the best way to fully receive an experience like this. I left some friends over there, I hope to see them soon, I wish Canti a good life and hope to travel with Alicia again before the autumn.

Tenerife, you were not what I expected, but just what I needed.

Viola was a wonderful guest and volunteer — I’d welcome her back without hesitation.

She stayed with me for a month El Médano, Tenerife, and from the very first day she showed initiative and a genuinely helpful attitude. When I needed to clear out a garage quickly upon her arrival, she jumped in without being asked twice — that set the tone for … read more
