Description

(Currently in South America with Antonio until March)

I am 23 years old, I just graduated in biological sciences in Turin.
I decided to take a gap year before starting a postgraduate course because I have lived very intense years and I feel the need to stop and reconnect with myself.
I have always dreamed of traveling as much as possible but until now I have never been able to do it due to school commitments and above all my economic possibilities.
Now, thanks to scholarships and working as a waitress, I have been able to save enough money to travel as a volunteer.
I hope to discover new sides of myself, new skills, new people and cultures, new languages, new ways of seeing life.
After this year I want to go back to studying with the hope of being able to help our planet in the future; in fact, I chose to study biology first and foremost because of my love for animals and the environment, which then consolidated into a passion for science.
In addition to this I can say that I am an introverted person but I love learning about other stories and people and I really want to know everything.
I would like to say more about myself but I already said before that I am an introvert hahaha.
I chose to travel for my gap year for no specific reason so I hope to find out why during the trip.

I don't have any particular skills that I can talk about aHahhaha but I adapt easily and learn quickly, I have done different types of exchanges where I have done jobs such as gardening, painting, working in a hostel, cleaning... In the past years I have done various jobs in contact with the people, especially the waitress. I actually study biology so I love everything related to animals and plants!

What else ...

Benedetta: During the Covid quarantine I discovered yoga and meditation, I carried them out for two years but then due to the busy university life I was leading I was no longer able to find the space and time necessary to dedicate to myself and to these activities that I'd like to find it again.
I would also like to spend time reading and enjoying nature.
