Description

Heyy, Chiara here! ✨
My friends would probably say I’m a mix of positive energy, curiosity and a love for spontaneity. I thrive on new experiences, meaningful connections and discovering places that make you stop and go “wow!!” I laugh easily, sometimes dance in random spots, and love creating memories that stick, whether it’s through random travel stories, funny moments, or little creative projects 💌

My friend Nadja and I traveled around the world for 9 months with (mostly) Couchsurfing, and honestly, it was one of the most eye-opening and fun experiences of my life!

I’m always up for deep convos, shared laughter and experiences that make life feel bigger.
Let’s make this crazy little life count :)

More details about your skills

I recently finished my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and decided to take a gap year to intentionally create space for growth, creativity and meaningful experiences. Traveling and working in different environments has always been an important part of my path, as it allows me to learn through real connection, responsibility and cultural exchange.

For the past four years, I’ve been working as a fundraiser, where I also took on the role of team leader. In this position, I train and support new team members, especially in communication strategies, motivation and teamwork. Through this experience, I’ve learned how important clear communication, empathy and collaboration are, especially in fast-paced and people-centered environments. Teamwork is something I truly value and actively contribute to.

Alongside this, I’ve worked two summer seasons as a travel leader on youth trips, where I was responsible for guiding groups, organizing daily activities and working as an animator. These roles strengthened my sense of responsibility, flexibility and creativity, while also teaching me how to create a safe, fun and structured environment for young people. I also gained two years of experience in gastronomy during my studies in Vienna, which helped me develop a strong work ethic, resilience and confidence in service-oriented settings.

In February 2025, I completed my 200h Yoga Teacher Training in Nepal, which deepened my connection to mindfulness, balance and body awareness. Yoga has become an important anchor for me, and I enjoy sharing it in a grounded and accessible way. Movement in general plays a big role in my life : I love hiking, swimming, playing tennis, practicing yoga and surfing. I’ve already spent time in a surf camp and take every opportunity to surf while traveling, as being in nature helps me feel present and inspired.

Creativity is another constant in my life. I enjoy small film projects, travel edits and visual storytelling, and I run my own Instagram travel page, where I create engaging and authentic content. I’m also passionate about painting, dancing, and learning how to cook healthy meals.

I’ve already worked with Workaway in 2021, supporting four different hosts in very different settings, from two hostels, to a remote jungle location without electricity, and also with a family. These experiences taught me adaptability, independence and how to integrate respectfully into different lifestyles and work environments.

Having traveled to over 50 countries, I’m deeply curious about people, cultures and personal development. My long-term dream is to combine my passions for psychology, travel and creativity in a meaningful way. I’m open-minded, reliable, hands-on and bring positive energy, structure and empathy into everything I do :)
