Description

I am a 27 year old postgraduate who loves travelling the world, meeting new people and speaking foreign languages. I grew up in Oxford with an Italian dad and English mum. I also learnt to speak French and Mandarin. In my free time, I love to dance, do yoga, cycle, and read books.

I am currently based in London working in communications and research. I plan to spend April-June in Taiwan travelling and volunteering. I love getting to know local cultures. I studied Mandarin and would love any opportunity to practice the language :)I love to be outdoors and learn new skills!


A have had incredible experiences on workaway - I’ve taught English in a rural school in Cambodia, worked in a hostel in France, and a guesthouse in Brazil. I met wonderful people, learnt so much about the local cultures and created unforgettable memories.
