Travel information

I am currently

Description

While I didn't travel internationally much growing up, a semester abroad in Australia during university sparked a passion for exploring that I haven't been able to shake! I absolutely love connecting with new people and immersing myself in different cultures.

After spending the last few years working as an operational analyst and process engineer, I’m taking a career break to travel, focus on personal goals, and finally put my years of Italian study into practice. I’m eager to explore more of Europe, embrace new experiences, and learn as much as I can about your culture—while hopefully making your life a little easier along the way!

More details about my language interests
I am a B1 level Italian speaker. I would love to practice speaking more and get more comfortable with the more advanced tenses (congiuntivo, condizionale, etc). I am also fluent in English and happy to provide feedback and assistance if you are learning English!

I dogsit and housesit often, and am comfortable working with animals (I have actually worked in a couple of veterinary clinics for cats and dogs!). I have also lived alone the last few years, and am comfortable preparing food for meals, cleaning, and running errands. I also help others with technology and social media often :) In short, I am eager to help where I can!

What else ...

I love having variety in the way that I spend my day! For example, I love doing different forms of exercise, like yoga, hiking, playing tennis or pickleball. I also love exploring new areas or places within the city in my free time. I don't stay up very late, and usually prefer to read, watch tv, or play a board game with friends in the evenings.
