Description

Hi, I'm Camilla, I'm 26 years old and I'm an Italian doctor.
Before settling down in one place (maybe Italy, maybe not) I decided to take some time off to follow the desire of traveling.

I'm a very curious person and I love to learn about other cultures, food, music and everything that comes with it.
Talking while listening to some good music and drinking a beer is my perfect kind of night!

I really enjoy traveling with workaway mainly for three reasons. First of all you get to know the true side of a country, meeting locals, getting to know their culture and how they enjoy life. Since every place I travel to gives me so much in terms of experiences and self-knowledge, the second reason is to give something back to the wonderful communities that host me.
Last but not least, I like traveling with workaway because in every place you get to learn different skills that could always be helpful both in the journey and in life.

More details about your skills

I love photography, especially portraits and street photography, and always have (at least) one camera with me 📸
I like cooking and I draw and paint as hobbies since I was 13 years old.
Recently I also started to take singing lessons, but I definitely need to improve in that 😂

About languages, I'm fluent in English, learnt in the United States where I lived for one year in high school, I'm fluent in Spanish, learnt in school and in the Canary Islands while volunteering with workaway, and I'm a beginner in Portuguese, since I studied in Portugal for six months in university.

Other than the medical skills that I developed with my studies and with my job, during university I've done many other jobs.

For the past seven years I worked in a society for young doctor's formation, where I started as a logical reasoning teacher. With time I coordinated different sections and different teams for the same society and I became a “teacher for the teachers”. With them, I learnt the art of teaching, how to lead a team and to try to create the best atmosphere possible between all the people involved.

Then, I've worked for 3 years in a gym as receptionist and acrobatic teacher, where I learnt how to behave with clients/guests and how to manage unexpected events.

After university, I spent 4 months volunteering in a hostel in Tenerife, Spain, working both in reception and cleaning shifts, and last year I volunteered in an animal shelter in the Philippines, while traveling around Asia! No need to say that both of them have been some incredible experiences, and I can’t wait to have more!
