Description
Hi everybody! Thanks for visiting my profile.
I'm a shiatsu therapist and wellness coach from Northern Italy with a big passion for foreign languages, books, nature and, of course, travelling.
In 2015 I quit my corporate job and took a gap year during which I had some amazing Workaway experiences in Europe, as well as a long solo backpacking tour of Latinamerica.
I'm easygoing, open-minded, curious, determined, willing to learn and improve myself through every experience that life can offer me.
I can't wait to meet new Workaway hosts and share our stories, perspectives and cultures.
