Ciao a tutti! / Hello everyone!
I’m Yassi, I grew up in Montreal, Canada. After several years of exploring, working and volunteering across Latin America, Asia, and Eastern Europe, I’m now excited to embark on a new chapter in Western Europe.
I’m looking forward to immersing myself in Italian culture first—learning the language, savoring the cuisine, and connecting with local communities.
I’m a cheerful, self‑reliant person who thrives on adventure, meaningful work, and personal growth. I value community and cultural exchange, and my happiest moments come from contributing to projects that make a positive impact while learning from the people around me. My days often include reading, writing, hiking, and practicing meditation to stay grounded and open‑minded. I’m in a transformative period of my life and am committed to overcoming fear, treating others compassionately, and pushing the boundaries of what I thought was possible.
Professionally, I have a diverse skill set:
Teaching & Language Exchange: I taught English in China, Vietnam, and the Czech Republic, and I love working with language learners and children.
Hands‑On Work: I’m comfortable with tools and enjoy tasks like gardening, basic maintenance, and caring for plants and animals.
Creativity & Outdoors: I’m good with a camera, enjoy swimming, and love capturing experiences through drone videography.
I’m eager to contribute to your project in any way I can—whether it’s helping with day‑to‑day tasks, sharing my knowledge, or learning new skills. Above all, I’m excited to learn from our shared experiences and immerse myself fully in Italian life.
P.S. I travel everywhere with my loyal dog, Hallo—a well‑behaved and affectionate companion I rescued in Puerto Vallarta. He’s well trained, and we’re both looking forward to joining your community!Interests

I love thinking about the time when I was with you guys. How Juan would always be smiling or kitesurfing or building something. How Ana would stay around me when I made guacamole because she knew I had skills haha. How we would go to all the houses to find the awesome kids who would come swimming with me. When I feel stressed… read more
