Description

Hello everyone! 🌞

I am Viola, an Italian girl who love to make new experiences.

As soon as I finished art high school in cinema I decided to pack my bags and leave for Berlin, where I worked for 6 months as a waitress, bartender and journalist.

After that, I embarked on my first workaway experience in Spain, at a surf camp for two months. I helped with housekeeping and "learned" how to surf.
I have now graduated in internetional relations in Bologna.
Two years ago I embarked on a two-month solo trip to India, where I took two other workaways that I loved. One in a village in the himalayan mountains and one in a family in Rajastahn desert. Last year i made a two-weeks volunteer experience in a eco-sustainable village in Nemea, Greece.
My first trips were challenging but they taught me a lot of things and made my passion for travel and love for life grow even more :)

I am currently seeking experience in reporting ans investigative journalism, especially in the field of social issues and human rights, as during my travels i realized is the field i passionaly intend to worl in.

I love reading, art, dancing with strangers and red wine. Plus I can cook 20 different kinds of pasta ;)

I can clean, cook, keep a house. I have experience in agricultural work as my family owns a vineyard field. I can relate very well with clients and peopole, as I have always done jobs where social skills are essential. I studied art, and I am good at painting and decorating.

I speak English and Italian fluently, Spain at a good level and a little German. Some Greek, Hindi and Chinese.
I am a happy person, grateful to be able to live on this earth.

A big hug ☀️
