Description
Hi, ciao! I'm Laura :)
I come from Sardinia, Italy, but spent 8 years in Bologna, volunteering at a major film festival and studying film studies.
I worked in a bookshop, but I'm now taking a break to travel, learn languages, meet people from around the world, and pursue copyediting, proofreading and translating (I love writing and reading).
I also have experience in restaurants and hospitality.
I'm always trying to improve my language skills (English, French, German, Icelandic, Spanish) and open to teaching Italian anytime.
I read tons of books, watch loads of films, and love chatting about them.
I'm also learning photography and looking for tips 📷
Oh, I can also cook pretty well!
If you want to know more about me, feel free to ask :) -
