Description

Hi!! I’m Julia, I love meeting new people, exploring new places and things and learning about anything from neuroscience to new recipes, plants, and languages. I appreciate the opportunity to pick up new skills, which is one of the main reasons I’m on Workaway.

I enjoy being outside, and I’m pretty active. I like hiking, rock climbing, reading, writing, swimming, cooking, playing guitar, singing, drawing, working with kids, planning things, photography, and I love gardening…I’ve spent most of my summers outside around my parents flower nursery where they have 14 large greenhouses, a retail store, a community garden, a small orchard, barn and chicken coop. I am used to a bustling atmosphere that is fast paced. I have also planted trees for a summer so my camping tolerance is up to 4 months.

I don’t mind getting my hands dirty, and I’ll try my best when I’m new to a task or skill. I enjoy creative work, or DIY tasks like fixing furniture, painting, and decorating.
I come from a large family (6 kids), so I’m good with people and I’m used to watching over/having a good time with kids. I also have lots of experience with kids in the classroom as a TA, babysitting, and tutoring. Generally, I enjoy working with people in a sociable and welcoming environment.

Some skills I would like to learn are; sailing, surfing, climbing (outdoors), mountain biking and adventure sports in general. I would love to gain knowledge in music, specifically classical guitar. I would like to learn French, Spanish and Italian. I would like to write, read and learn when I have free time!

I would like to spend up to 2 months doing workaway (s) this summer as a change of scenery… I’ve been living in Florence, Italy to study goldsmithing as I pursue a Master in Art.

I have an EU citizenship for work positions.
