Description

Hello there!

My name is Gioia, just as my name says ( Gioia means "Joy" in italian) I am a very "joyful" person! I am very energetic and enthusiastic and enjoy travelling and discovering places and cultures. I'm very sociable, outdoorsy and love to do DIY work.
Whenever I travel I try to work-away so to discover the place from the locals' point of view! I love people's stories!

I've taken part for a few years in a drama club and I LOVE theatre!
My friends know me for organizing events and always suggesting some interesting adventure.

I have worked at cafes, organised activities for groups of people, and done a lot of volunteering work that included hard manual work (one of many: I shovelled horse shit around Iceland for 3 weeks to help revegetate the land )

I stayed with Kasper for 10 days during the summer to practice my Danish. I was working remotely, so during the day I could work on my laptop and as soon I finished at 4 we could start wokring on the farm.

Gioia is a true joy to have around, her name could not suit her better.

She did remote work during the daytime and still gave herself fully to the life of the farm, working hard and conscientiously at her chores, and bringing a rare gift: she sees the potential in everything and everyone around her. Her presence alone is an inspiration, … read more

Erik is such a great host! I spent about 2 weeks with him and it has been a real pleasure to meet him and work with him. He always makes you feel comfortable and involves you in Roman life!

Gioia's name isn't there for no reason: she is a very positive person, full of Joy (Gioia in Italian) and it was a pleasure having her here in Rome. She was also always eager to help, and I really appreciated her input. She is very smart and learned quickly and with ease, and was able to help me also with organizational aspect.
Thank you so much!
