Description
Hello! My name is Alessia, I'm 23 and I'm from Italy.
I am a journalist and a writer. I love reporting and writing about any topic, from politics to psychology and arts and culture and I love reading.
I like meeting new people and I love traveling, which is why I studied abroad several times, first in Joensuu, Finland, then in Vancouver, Canada and, after a few months in the beautiful Spanish capital, I relocated to Groningen, Netherlands, to attend the Journalism Master program.
Finally, I love animals. I am unfortunately allergic to cat hair, but I absolutely love all of them. I've had up to five dogs at the same time in my life and I absolutely love playing with them and taking care of all their needs. I also love pigs, goats, horses and cows. This is also part of the reasons why I follow a vegetarian diet.
I'm outgoing and I love deep coversations. I'm calm and I like having a little bit of time to myself everyday. I'm very disciplined, hard working and I'm a fast learner. During my workaway experiences I would love to see new places, meet good people and learn new skills.
Can't wait to start!

I stayed at Lars' for about two weeks and a half, and I learned a lot about farming, growing vegetables, firewood, harvesting... He also taught me how to drive a tractor!
