Travel information

I am currently

Description

I'm Elisa, 30 & Italian. I joined the workaway community after volunteering & travelling solo around Europe in my 20s: I'm excited to find new communities, broaden my sight, check my privilege, embrace diversity, challenge myself ❤️

I studied Art History & Visual Culture in Italy and in the UK. I'm very passionate about art activism, community art and performing arts in general.

I'm a folk dancer: I dance traditional Southern Italian styles (Pizzica, Tammurriata, Tarantella). I love learning new dances and sharing what I've learned so far with whoever is interested. I also recently fell in love with Irish dance and I've started taking classes (I'm definitely a beginner tho :'D)

I'm currently a vegetarian, but I 100% support the vegan lifestyle and ethical choice (I'm trying to be more and more plant-based every day).

More details about your skills

I used to work in Marketing & Communication, so I could help with social media if needed.

I worked with children for 8 years; I used to be a nanny (with both Italian and British kids), an English tutor for homeschooled English-speaking kids, and an English tutor for private families. I hold a TEFL qualification for teaching English to non-native speakers.

For many years I volunteered with kids of a Roma camp, organizing various activities (homework, local festivals, games, etc.).

I volunteered in a community library in London where I planned Art & crafts workshops.
I also volunteered in Southern Italy in the lands confiscated from the mafia and returned to the community, where I did some rudimental agriculture, as well as cleaning, house chores and a bit of house building.
