Description

Hey there! My name is Chiara, I'm 35 and I come from and live in central Italy.
I have an educational background in art (illustration and photography) and linguistic studies, and working experience as English teacher and travel consultant working for an AmericanTour Operator.

Travelling has been my main passion since 2014. I have worked as aupair girl in California (three months in 2012) and Germany (9 months in 2014). I have travelled solo for professional trainings in Poland and Romania, and spent two months in Ireland as workawayer in 2016, working on an organic garden in Whitegate, helping in tidying up and redecorating an old cottage near Dublin and helping at a B&B in Kinsale.
In summer 2022 I took a new solo trip to Ireland and stayed for almost three weeks with a lovely couple of hosts in Inishturk, helping with their B&B, vegetable garden and lambs.

Since it seems I can't get enough of Ireland, I'm looking for hosts for Summer 2023.

I'm available the whole month of July, and looking for a host who needs help running and taking care of tourist accommodation or tourist info centres. I'd love to learn as much as possible about tourism in the area, and I'll be glad to also learn about gardening, building and general maintenance, animal caring and so on.
Even thoughI'm specifically lookimg for Irish hosts, I'll be happy to hear from hosts offering similar jobs elsewhere too (Scotland, Normandy, Portugal, New Zealand, the States, Vietnam, Japan, Thailand or China, being on top of my list).

***

Apart from working and learning new skills, I'd love meeting people and having them telling me about their travelling experiences, as well as living the cultural scene (I do love history, cultures, languages and folk music).

Extra unuseful info: I'm vintage fashion, music and dances, literature and figurative art, architecture, folk tales and mythology :)

I've been into couchsurfing for a bit, so if you need references I can link you my profile. You can also learn a bit more about me and my travels via instagram.

I am MORE THAN WILLINGTO LEARN as much as I can concerning gardening, farming, building, carpentry so if you need someone to help you in these fields and you are ok with teaching me I'll be more than glad! :)

I love traditional Irish music and culture, so if you can teach me how to play bodhran/flute or speak Gaelic that would be super cool!
