Description
Hello everyone! We're Francesca and Davide, we quit our corporate job few months ago in search of more fulfilling experiences. After spending years immersed in the hustle and bustle of corporate life, we understood that's not our path, willing to switch to more meaningful and gratifying pursuits.
Our journey has first led us to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia and Thailand where we've been captivated by the breathtaking landscapes, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality of the locals.
We will now spend summer in Italy (our homecountry) recharging our batteries for a while to be ready in September for new adventures. This time we would love to be stable in a place for a while to immerse ourselves fully in a new culture!
We're excited to lend our skills and energy to local communities, and to create meaningful connections! We're flexible, motivated, and eager to learn and contribute :)Interests

Our Skills and Experience
Languages: We can communicate effectively in Italian and English, with additional basic skills in Spanish (Davide) and Portuguese (Francesca).
Teaching: We have experience teaching English at a school in Cambodia, which helped us develop patience, creativity, and effective communication skills.
Cooking: Davide is a talented cook and finds it a relaxing hobby. We enjoy experimenting with new recipes and can share our love for Italian cuisine.
Photography: We both love photography and capturing the beauty of our travels. We're always eager to learn more about this art form and improve our skills.
Social Skills: We are very sociable and empathetic, making it easy for us to connect with people from different backgrounds. We have a natural ability to make others feel welcome and comfortable.
Marketing and Psychology: Although we have technical skills in marketing and psychology, we are looking to step away from this field. Davide, however, is open to occasional opportunities where these skills might be useful.
Hobbies and Interests
Surfing: Davide loves surfing and Francesca is currently learning. We enjoy spending time by the ocean and engaging in water sports.
Traveling: We are seasoned travelers with extensive solo travel experience, which has taught us adaptability, problem-solving, and independence.
Practical Skills: While we are very practical people, our city upbringing has limited our opportunities to put these skills into practice. We are eager to get our hands dirty and learn new practical skills through volunteering.
What We Hope to Achieve
We are enthusiastic about learning new things and contributing positively to the communities we visit. We aim to gain hands-on experience, particularly in areas like gardening, DIY projects, and other practical tasks. We are also excited to share our cultural heritage, teach Italian, and prepare traditional Italian meals for our hosts.
Joint Activities
We enjoy engaging in activities together, whether it’s cooking, surfing, teaching, or exploring new places. Our combined skills and shared passion for learning make us a dynamic and resourceful team.
We look forward to meeting new people, exchanging cultures, and making a meaningful impact wherever we go. Thank you for considering us for your project!Age
