Description
Kia Ora! 🇳🇿
Maddalena here, 18yr old Italy born kiwi (New Zealander)! I'm also an environmentalist, permaculture gardener, compost fanatic, experimental home cook, outdoor enthusiast (just finished a 2 month solo bikepacking trip through Europe!) and lover of cultural exchange and immersion!
I love life and experiencing new things! And even more, learning about other people's lives, exchanging stories and knowledge and working together for something bigger than ourselves. Everyone who knows me knows I put 1000% into everything I'm passionate in, especially sustainability related or with a team but also equally alone! I would absolutely LOVE to see what it's like to stay at your place and help you out - I'm sure we'd get along and my extensive work (capital city - aka Wellington NZ - Youth Councillor, waste diversion specialist, urban farm worker) + volunteering (food rescue, community garden, native forest restoration, WWOOF Germany) experience would come in handy.
Thank you for considering me and have a beautiful day :)

More details about your skills
My work experience: Wellington City Council Youth Councillor, waste diversion specialist, urban farm worker. My volunteering has mostly been in food rescue, community gardens, native forest restoration, and various building/gardening/animal care projects through WWOOF Germany. So essentially I have lots of experience in many sustainability fields, with local council and leadership roles, and charities/community involvement! So keen to learn and experience more.
